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.

How is a superhero d20 like? I've never played a superhero one.

And what sorts of games has your friend been designing?

We use two d10s for all of our actions so a crit success and crit fail are 2 or 20. It gives a little more fairness to players who get crappy rolls like me. And then there's only 3 stats; body mind and soul. Body is for physical things obviously, soul is for most power based things like heat vision, shapeshifting, magic etc, and then mind is for pretty much everything else. It's pretty fun, but our gm has prtty much bailed on us.

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.
if it's fine with everyone, you can sub for me. spring break is p much over so i won't have much time to play. that and i forgot i'm pretty bad at chess

That's a shame :( but if you really don't want to continue on or don't think you'll have the time then that's fine.

I've played it a couple of times. I've been playing town of salem a lot lately though instead. Mafia always comes first for me.

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.

Don't know that you've noticed, but I updated the tournament to reflect on honey dropping out and now we are starting round 2 :) Don't feel rushed to get it done or anything, though it would be nice if we could do it sometime this week.

I managed to defeat gimmepie, probably due to the fact that he was playing at 2 AM. gg!
Or maybe because you're better at chess, who knows :P

Are your time zones/schedules that conflicting? Perhaps you could try a weekend?

We're hashing out potential weekend stuff, but I've not had a chance to be home and check the family calendar to see if I'm expected to be somewhere or if I'll need to be asleep during the small weekend time-frame that we think might work.
