CHESS YALL - The Tabletop Gaming Lounge
Introduction Come one and come all. Are you wondering what this club is about? Well look no further, everything non-video gaming related be it tabletop, role-playing, board or card gaming; you name it, this is the club for it! Additional Info For the TGL there is a main topic, however you don't necessarily have to stay on topic. This is supposed to be a little more laid back. So if you have something you want to talk about that isn't related to whatever the main topic is, then don't be afraid to post about it! You won't get in trouble unless it's something that doesn't belong in the TGL. Rules! Every game and every club has them. These will probably be updated as time goes on, but for now here's ours: -Follow all PokeCommunity and FC&G Rules -Respect is a must in this group -No trolling, flaming, bashing. -Have fun! -Don't spam with requests or anything like that -If someone hasn't gotten back to you about something you've posted within two weeks you may repost it Current main topic: Bustin' out a schedule Signups: While there is no official club signup sheet, as time goes on we will be hopefully hosting many games here so as those games are created their signups will be here. |
What time works for everyone for this weekend's CAH event? I've got nothing scheduled, but I may wind up not waking up before noon my time (GMT -6; currently in Daylight Savings).
|
Please forgive my ignorance Sonata-sensei and Don-sensei but what is CAH?

And I'll probably end up staying up all night and just open a room at the start of the day in case the site decides to get busy. I'll post the link and password to it tomorrow. |

|
I'm so down for CAH! I'll try to swing by if you guys are playing on Sunday, but I doubt I can make it for tomorrow.
|
Yup yup, I'll probably be there for CAH whenever you guys decide to play. :)
|
Okay, I'll probably be starting a room myself in an hour or two, depending on whether or not Sonata already has one.
EDIT: Targeting a 6 PM start for my session. EDIT2: I mean, 6PM my time. Post was originally made at 4:36 PM my time, and it is now 5:15 PM my time. Sonata will probably have a room already, though. |
Tabletop games, I'm a real fan of those!
I've never played CAH, but it's one of the games I really need to play sometime. |
Well, we didn't really end up getting an official game going, but through the past two days we played through about 6 or 7 different games with the majority of the people that were interested. So now that that's out of the way, the question is what do we do now?
Remember, this club is not only a basic meeting grounds for people interested in playing games, but should also be treated as a place to come for all things related to tabletop gaming. Want a rate on a deck you've built? Drop the link. Need some inspiration for a character in a game? Just ask and you shall receive. Pretty much nothing is off limits guys. So if you don't feel like being part of the main conversation but still want to talk about TG related things, don't be afraid to post. |
It would be cool to see more CAH events, preferably ones accessible to my timezone xD
|
Yesterday's CAH games were awesome. I agree with GP, there should be many more of them, for non-supporters too.
|
So how about trying to hammer out a date and time for another round of CAH? And then we can start looking at maybe brainstorming some other things we'd like to try and branch out to?
I could also make us a skype chat if we'd like to do that as well. |
Yeah, sure. But planning dates can be hard with timezones and stuff.
A Skype chat seems a good idea to me. |
Yo! If y'all wanna do some CAH or something else (if you have any ideas for anything just throw them out, can be boardgameonline, chess, monopoly, literally anything) post some times that you should be free for the next week or two and we'll start working something out.
And if we get like 5 or 6 people who want to have a skype group we could do that as well. Things like CAH are always more fun when you can hear voices. |
Quote:
Uno or Rummy would be pretty fun too. As long as I get my CAH in an accessible time :P My timezone is GMT +8, it's currently 11:42am for me and it's usually easier for me to do things at night. |
Quote:
CAH is a must though. Play all the CAH. |

As for games there are sites for CAH and Diplomacy in my knowledge. I also know a site with a few card games, but those games aren't even known all over my country, so the chance you know them is about 0. Also the site is non-English. Games like Mafia are possible to play via e-mail too, but that's not really necessary because of the existing game at Forum Games.
And I've never heard of euchre either, but I looked it up, and it shares some traits to games I know. I don't think it would be very hard to learn for me. My timezone is GMT+1 by the way. |
I'm interested in all of the games mentioned.
I'm in favor of doing a chess tournament next, if we can find a good way to play against each other online. |
Quote:
If we are going to do a chess tournament, I recommend we do it as a round robin. Just have people register for it and then everyone plays everyone at least once, then tally points at the end to determine the overall winner. In chess tournaments points usually go like what I have below for memory. Lose - 0 Draw - 1 Win - 2 |
I'll post up a blog entry here in a few minutes and try to get some people to come join in on chess. And if you actually want to be in the chess tournament just clarify that with another post if you would. On Monday I'll look at setting up a bracket, and depending on how many people sign up I may make it a double elimination thing. :)
Or I may just make it d.e. anyways. |
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SIGN ME UP BOOOOYS. I am not a chess master, but I love it. :D
|
Quote:
I love chess xD |
Sure, I'm not that good at chess, but count me in.
|
While I am undecided whether I will join the chess tournament or not, I would like to mention that I am quite skilled at chess. I was even a member of a chess club when I was in elementary and middle school.
|
Quote:
Well only in primary school, I went back to help teach for a few years after that though. I even did tournaments and got to get beaten by a grandmaster once. It's been years since I played seriously but I like to think I've still got some semblance of my old skill haha |
I've never been anything special at chess, I've been playing with my dad since I was about 4 but have long since forgotten all of the special moves and whatnot. I just like to play for fun now :P
|
Quote:
I don't remember very much myself, the limit of my memory is pretty much castling, pinning and forking haha |
Quote:
Looking through all of the special moves and whatnot you can do for chess, it appears the only thing I actually forgot about was en passant. Still don't expect much out of myself though haha. |
Quote:
I never needed help with wanting to be the best at everything myself haha, I'm very competitive. Edit: Well that is very interesting, I've never actually learned about that. |

if you're really desperate for another play then you can count me in. however, these next three days are gonna be busy for me if you don't mind. side note: i probably haven't played chess in 6/7 years so i basically suck.

I got wrecked hard. :'(
|
Just a couple early mistakes was all it took to decide this match between rusty old veterans. With emphasis on the rusty.
|
I'm just messaging H.A.N. about our match now, I'll let you know how it goes once we get around to playing.
Edit: We'll be playing our game around the 11th |
In the meantime while we wait for round one to finish, can we shift the topic to games we've picked up recently?
I picked up Weiss Schwarz a couple weeks ago and am trying to find room in my schedule to play it with the other people I got into it with as well as finding a way to make it to a local league some nights so I can make sure we're playing correctly. Anyone else picked up a new tabletop game of some kind? Or getting back into something you were previously into? |
Honey's been evading my challenge :P
A couple of weeks ago the skype group I found finally managed to get into the first session of our silver age sentinels game. And hopefully next week I'll be able to get back into played the d20 that my friend created. He put it on hold so we could play another game he made back in january, and then since then I haven't been going because of my great grandma's stroke. Pretty hyped to get back to doing all that fun stuff, I've already got a new character made who's basically a monk who has the power to naturally negate magic and other powers. |

Message me your pogo name and we can start whenever :p |
i may have or may not have gotten checkers confused with chess in regards to how men are taken.. i thought you had to jump over to take men, it was rough. i went strong for a good four minutes though. gg sonata
|
Honey's a goober. But hopefully she'll have better luck in the next round :P just waitin' on the pie and H.A.N. and we can get goin.

Quote:
How is a superhero d20 like? I've never played a superhero one. And what sorts of games has your friend been designing? |
Quote:
My friend made his own system and his own world, gods, etc etc. It's completely from scratch and I could never do something like it haha. There's too much to remember. He's got 4 installations for the game so far. |
The newest board game I've played is Castle Panic. I've only played it once, but I really liked it. The point of the game is to semi-cooperate with the other players to defend the castle against the monsters (and boulders) coming from the forests surrounding it. I said semi-cooperative, because you have to work together to defend the castle. If the monsters completely take down all the towers, it's game over. But: the player who killed the most monsters will be awarded the title Master Slayer, so you don't want to trade all your good cards away. But yeah, if the monsters win, everybody loses.
As for tabletop RPGs, our D&D group tried to play Maid RPG some time ago, because some anime freaks wanted to play it. The game is meant to make no sense at all. One of the maids was a half-cat mermaid. The logic. Also seducing about everyone around you, should be quite common. It appeared we weren't perverted enough to play the game decently and quit halfway through the session. |
Just popping in to let you know the results. I was a good game and plot foiling was rife but I managed to end up the victor. :)
|
There's a chess tournament going on? That's cool, I can sub for anyone if they need it.
When I looked at the title, Boardgame Online was the first thing that came to mind. I wonder if anyone's played that, it's been a long time since I have. |

Also if everyone wants to go ahead and look at round 2 that'd be fine. I need to go on and put the results up sometime today but yeah. |
So am I playing honey or Euphoric?

So. The superhero tristat game that I was playing has officially derailed. The GM has abandoned us and so one of the other players started talking about what we should do next. And it seems like we'll be scrapping the superhero game and instead looking at playing something else. He dropped his pdf collection into the chat and the other players immediately jumped at the song of ice and fire game. But there's a bunch of other stuff in there too that looks promising if anyone wants to steal it for their own game or if we want to do something in the future. :)
So I'm just going to drop this link for you all to look over. I also have the pdf for the supers game that we just scrapped somewhere on my computer if that interests anyone. Don't click this link if you don't feel like reading, because there's a lot to read with most of these games. I've only read the Game of Thrones one and skimmed over Final Fantasy myself and I've had this for a couple of days now haha. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/o456wmkz6phtl/Books |
So yeahhhhh, gonna join :3
What game you guys are currently playing? |
Quote:
|
Oh, who are the matchups left? I'm not really great when it comes to chess, but I would want to see who's left haha
|
Quote:
We could start working out what we're going to do next though :) |
I'd be down for pretty much anything, CAH, mafia, eating some pizza, etc.
|
omg i do want another game of cah :] I kinda missed out on the first one tho :[
|
I am desperate for some CAH, especially if I can actually be around for it!
I love an excuse to be terrible somewhere other than the Skype chats. |
OH IF WE DO CAH, can we guys make a custom deck, with custom black and white cards, based on PC?
|
Quote:
|
[Jumping straight on the bandwagon here lol]
I would definitely be down for a CAH game, with a few specialised cards. Not sure how you'd do that. I'll look into that tomorrow if you want :) |
Quote:

I'm going to make a skype group for us, so if anyone's interested just send me a pm with your skype name. Or if you've already got me on skype just message me over there and say you want in. :) |

is down for cah
|
Xyzzy is fine, but there's actually a thing called Cardcast, and you can make custom black cards and white cards, and it's compatible with Xyzzy. You just need to do a command I believe :P
|
Ooooooh. OOOOOOOOOH. YES. This will be most fun to play with.
|
YESSSSSS :] #cardsagainstpokecommunityconfirmed

Klippy destroyed me :( |

Tbh, can't wait for this, the final match haha x3 Would love to see this conclude well :]
|
Quote:
|
Yes yes, there are still 3 more rounds to go. Unless everyone's tired and wants to move on. But I mean, I'd like to complete stuff and not just leave it hangin.
|
Quote:
|
I wish I'd seen this and got in on it. I love Chess lol
Anyway, is there a way to spectate the games? (If they're not super late for me, I'd like to watch a couple) |
