If you're interested in playing in Bellingham, we typically meet up on Tuesday nights. If you can make it up for one of those, I'd keep an eye out for the weekly thread to pop up in the Game Night subforum. I'd potentially be up for a game this coming Tuesday or the week after.

I'm going to be down giving X-Wing Jim Armada Jim a demo of his new favorite game. I will also have some checks for OG Jim and Brad for the Kublacon Reckoning.

If you bring Armada stuff, I'm down. I'll probably be showing up around 6:30 or 7:00 if someone is game for pushing some spaceships around.

Are all of the Armada folks going to that show?

I'll be down with Armada stuff as per the usual these days

I'll be down with Armada and if that doesn't pan out I could be talked into helping with some playtesting.

We broke the corkscrew, but @stark1261 saved the day.

I'll be down playing Armada with Kevin.

I'm going to have Armada stuff ready for a game if any of you Armada folks will be down.

@Wiccus are you still down for Armada?

I'm imagining I can start with one kit and build lists within that just fine until I get the itch to run 8 TIEs or whatever.

This might just be the thing to get me back into the game... https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/5/1/x-wing-second-edition/

I'm holding my breath for this to lead to a reboot with the X-Men and Fantastic Four merged into the greater MCU for a massive Secret Wars movie in the 2020s.

I thought it was pretty great overall, but wasn't feeling that all the way through. There were definitely some points where it felt a little disjointed and I felt like they humanized Thanos more than I would like for the character. I do appreciate that they made him less one-dimensional, but I think it took a bit away from the Mad Titan to have him get a little touchy feely at parts. That said, seeing him win in the end was the perfect character moment for one of my favorite villains so I can't complain too much. I'd say it's fairly obvious that losing like this was Doctor Strange's plan as the only 1/14 million plan that could succeed, but it'll be interesting to see that all play out next year or whenever we finally get a followup to all of this. Also I was totally holding my breath for there to just be no after the credits scene at all as the ultimate f- you to the audience after murdering everyone, but it was nice too see Fury so it's cool.

The Warhamsters will always be here rooting for you. I'm glad to hear of the positive prognosis and look forward to rolling dice around tables with you for many decades to come.

I have an Armada game with Christian at 8, but would have time beforehand if anyone else wanted to do some Armada.

Games will be happening tomorrow. I'm guessing most people will still be wrapped up with TNT, but if anyone is interested in Armada or 9th Age I'd be down. Also still interested in learning Legion if someone wants to run a demo game.

I'm on the lookout for games of Armada or 9th Age, but I'd also be interested in a Legion demo if Joey isn't too busy with the TNT.

Gotcha. Looks like this is the kit: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/3/12/recruit-your-legions/

What sort of format will you be doing for the league? It looks like the core set can put together around 500 points. Maybe something like: Week 1: Learn to Play Scenarios Week 2: 500 point lists Week 3: 600 Week 4: 700 Week 5: 800 Is that longer than you're thinking of doing it? I'm tentatively interested...

How'd this go?

@JMGraham, shall we try for some 9th Age again?

More sad news, it looks like I won't be able to make the trip down either. Maybe we can figure out a meetup a little further North within the next few months?

In that case I'd hold off on Daemons as they're the next book getting an update. That said, the new Warriors book is out now! http://www.the-ninth-age.com/news/index.php?news/715-the-dark-gods-reveal-their-new-toy-updated-version-of-the-warriors-of-the-dark-g/&s=383377ab989ff14b76e137ce8263b9ed8cd15ae5

@JMGraham are we on for a 9th Age rain check from last week?
