If you’re using the Old-World-Builder you can set your list to Game View and all the various rules and keywords become hot links.   
 

it easily shaved an hour off of our first game.

Infinity War > Endgame

Just saying 🙂

Sad its over...doubt they can make something so epic again.  Meaning ten years of movies in one amazing universe.

I have not sat in a theater where the audience cheered that much in a long time.

Avengers: Endgame

Damn near perfect culmination of the last 10 years of the MCU.

No idea. I've been out of the loop on the DZC front for a while but I really LOVE the game. The 2.0 rules shouldn't change too much and I'm fairly solid on the current set. I've got 2 painted armies if you want a demo game 🙂

 

@Nick! @Lyraeus @shmitty how about DZC this upcoming Tuesday at gamenight?

Maybe?  I have some vague plans next Tuesday, but will head over if that falls through.

Hey there!

when is a better time? Tuesday? Sunday? 

What armies do you play?

Tuesday’s are generally going to be better than Sunday’s.   

I have a very large PHR force and a smaller Scourge army.   Also a DeepCut Studios mat and a bunch of 4Ground Terrain.  

I have a couple of armies and really enjoy the game.  Game night can be a challenge, but let me know and I can try to make it.  

Had a sick day recently and re-watched a couple of shows:

• Avengers: Infinity War - My biggest take away is that I still can't believe that this movie got made.  Seriously, the logistics of having all of those characters in one place is still pretty staggering.
• The Last Jedi - Still really liked it.  Liked the character arcs and felt like it may be the best acted Star Wars movie.  (Mark Hamill does an amazing job)

The casting is all around perfect.

Carmelita and Esme are perfectly hate-able.  The actresses did a King Joffrey level job there.

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Season 3

• Verbose Fanciful Dialogue
• Visually Fantastic Drama
• Vastly Funny Drollery
• Very Farcical Direction

Loved the whole series.  Worth watching for Patrick Warburton’s dead-pan delivery, but the casting is top notch the whole way through.  Highly recommended.  

5/5 - Sugar Bowls

I've only gotten in a couple of games of 2.0 myself, but I feel like the update was really solid all around.  They managed to make the game better for competitive and causal play at the same time.

Sunday - Red Castle (SE Portland)

Monday - Dice Age Games (Vancouver) - although we are playing more Legion than Armada right now

Tuesday - Rainy Day Games (Beaverton)

Fridays - Portland Game Store - I think this might be every other week

There is a fairly active Facebook group "Armada Admirals of Portland" that you can probably setup some games through.  I just bought a new house, so I haven't been playing much lately.

I drug @andozanearound GenCon and kicked the tires on a bunch of different gaming tables.  This was not the shiniest table we saw, but the price is great for the quality that you get.

The KDM booth is crazy.  But I grabbed an Echoes of Death for each of you @VonVilkee and @Prophecy

I may request a box of Blood Bowl Bright crusaders, a Blood Bowl Josef Bugman and anything new that’s out. What’s your preferred communication method?

This thread for requests, as I can keep them all in the same place.  Then PMs to handle payment, etc.

I’m looking for the new releases from Red Republic Games - Arena Rex. 

The Helleniki ... it’s a new faction but no gencon specific product announcement as of yet.  Just teasers at this point. I’m expecting a faction starter box (3-4 minis) and some dice. 

-please?  

-d

Not familiar with them, but I’ll take a look.

Have you seen any announcement of gen con only kingdom death? I would be interested in anything new in the pinup line and anything with game content. 

I'll PM you a specific list if you can help out. I'm in Bellingham but could do an ofcc pickup to save shipping if you want, totally will PayPal previously tho. 

Nothing specific yet.  I’m assuming there will be something fun though.  

Hey guys, I will be attending GenCon again this year and am generally happy to grab exclusives, promos, or early releases and haul them back.  (I am not always happy to stand in the more ridiculous lines)

Let me know what you want and I try to can pick it up. I have a press badge that gets me in early so I can usually get items before they run out, but I make no guarantees.  

Once I grab the item I’ll send you a photo of the item and receipt and ask that you PayPal me the cost.  Indianapolis does have a sales tax that most vendors charge at the con.  I also ask that you throw in a little extra.  I usually have to check an extra bag on the way home and it’s nice to have some help offsetting that cost.  

Make your requests below, if you can include a link to a photo that helps me get the right item.  

I already plan to hit the FFG, Infinity, and Kingdom Death booths.  

What ya need?

OK, so went to see Solo last night.  To be honest, from the announcement of this movie being made I was negative on it.  I thought this was just a dumb idea for a movie.  I want new stories, not the old characters...

That being said...Solo was a damned fine Star Wars movie.  So much better than the Last Jedi...leaps and bounds.  It is a great adventure story set in the Star Wars universe.  Loved it.

7.5 / 10 if not a tad higher...

A few sequences reminded me of a certain SW:RPG campaign that you GM'ed.

I believe the writers implied that Valkyrie led the other half out in escape pods or something.   

Solo - Really fun.   Not amazing or groundbreaking, but as fun as any unnecessary prequel could be.  By the end you buy in to the new guy being Han and Donald Glover absolutely nails Lando.

A campaign going after the Green Knight armor does sound like fun, but I don't have all the requisite expansions.  We are finishing up our current vanilla campaign then we will probably get one going focusing on all of the new expansion quarries that we do have.

I can probably get by with one upgrade kit.

I will definitely be grabbing the new core and upgrade kits at GenCon though.
