Results are in, and it looks like we will be doing a weekly MTG night starting next Monday. I'm thinking 7:00 PM CST, but we can adjust exact times if needed. Commander got a little bit of pushback in the original thread, so I'm thinking we might start with Pauper then switch to draft in a couple weeks (Commander can come a bit later). Organization will be primarily done through Discord, but I'll still post updates here as needed. We will be using xMage which you can find here. 1v1s for now, but we can always do a 3-way if we get an odd number of people.

I'm going to run a tokens deck, and I look forward to seeing what y'all bring!

Anyone else love TTRPG history?

In case you have not seen tabletop card game simulator Millennium Blades has another printing up on kickstarter. I have played this game and let me tell you. If you are into card games and want to play something that is off the wall fun with your friends check this out. You basically play 3 tournaments with market and deck building phases before each of them. The only issue is your first learning session is gonna be like 4-5 hours.

Like if I wanted to search a deck containing green cards from Ice Age for example, any site that lets me do that?

^^ the deck I've been using. It seems like white puts down really strong creatures fast and you can put +'s on them.

^^ the two decks I used, I played green and the ai was red. Still getting the hang of this game but with over like 50k cards in the library and endless combos it's so deep. The AI is quite smart on Forge too. I've never played MTG in my life so this is all new to me.

For war gamers who want a DND-like take on the genra!

What board games should I play?

What board games have you played and would recommend others?

What are the best board games out there for you?

Just me? Eh?

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.

HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:

Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in

Technically it was done a while ago, but now there's a comm for it! The hull gun on the front is magnetized and can be swapped out for a laser, and the sides are magnetized as well so I can put sponsons on if I ever get around to having some 3d printed. The turret-hull connection is just a giant circular hole so it pops off real easy and I have taken to blu-tacking it in place for transport/games.

The actual name for the model is "Mars Alpha Leman Russ Incinerator", and I run it as an Executioner in 40k.

Behold, the warm glowing warming glow of the turret gun (which I'm still not really happy with even after like 10 revisions):

The last thing space fascists see before being run over:

Catan, previously known as The Settlers of Catan or simply Settlers, is a multiplayer board game designed by Klaus Teuber.

Players take on the roles of settlers, each attempting to build and develop holdings while trading and acquiring resources. Players gain victory points as their settlements grow and the first to reach a set number of victory points, typically 10, wins.

The players in the game represent settlers establishing settlements on the fictional island of Catan. Players build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island.

The game board, which represents the island, is composed of hexagonal tiles (hexes) of different land types, which are laid out randomly at the beginning of each game.

In 2016, editions of the game were released with a conventional fixed layout board in this configuration, the hexes of which cannot be rearranged.

Players build by spending re
