So then why did you run off to the Bar with a Canadian last year instead of fighting him? Seems fishy...

It's been really awesome watching all the discussion about people play testing lists and working on things for Rose City Wrath. Though the event is a tournament, ultimately it's just another part of my goal help grow and strengthen our local community, and so far it looks like that mission is going well.

Indecision about what project to start next with incoming rule set has sort of paralyzed my normal hobby progress, however with this event coming it has spurred me into production of terrain. I've just finished making a little over half a dozen marshes, and I'm getting ready to start building a few more forests using some new ideas.

I'm hoping that people end up holding the terrain for RCW is a great standard going forward.

For those of you not attending Wrath, if OFCC has another table design competition, you will probably see a few of our tables there.

I look forward to the continued hobby blogging up until the event, so I can live vicariously through other people's hard work!

If you knew anything about raider heritage particularly the John Madden years you would know there is no warning. There's just broken legs.

I have most of the lists, but there are a few stragglers. I would get those lists in to minimize points lost!

 

... also, question for jeremy, is the tavern a 'dwarven tavern' from BRB or is it just a 3 story building?

Do we just send them to the teamamerica email address?

Lists are due tomorrow! -1 tournament point every day late! Get them in now!

Here come the wound rolls of 1's!

(+1 sports for being a Raiders fan)

I'll fight some stunties!

I'll be there briefly. No army, just eye candy.

I've been listening to a few Warhammer podcasts lately, specifically Dimensional Cascade and Garagehammer, and hosts on both of those shows have been mentioning how "anti-comp" they are. I'm just wondering why? Comp seems like the greatest thing to me... I won't go into why! Not trying to start a debate, just curious.

Looks like your last few words got lost somewhere in all the essays that came after. Probobly myself included.

Don't forget! Lists are due on the 1st!

Mike has already been challenged out, but if Ben is keen, it could happen!

Just a friendly reminder that the lists are due for Rose City Wrath on May 1. Each Day late will cost you a point, so be on time!

And if you haven't gotten your ticket you better click here and get it now!

Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks!

I wanna hear how it all goes. I'll have to live vicariously through you guys this week.

Mike accepted, so it's on!

Peanut, I will try and strange a game for you with Sinewgrab sometime. I think you will find his orks a good challenge, and a great example of why you don't have to take internet lists

Though I do think that Kremmet's list looks to be the tougher list, I'm not sure how it applies to your play style. At first blush it looks similar to the list you had against me at OFCC.

I can tell you in my experience as an Ogre Kingdoms that I find it far easier to get points out Dwarf lists that have a lot of characters, over lists with your characters and bigger tough units that I have to grind

I look at it like this (Excluding end times, which I consider a supplement)

If players are using the rules to their advantage in how they build their armies, how does adding more rules prevent this from continuing? If you look at results across the country there are as many "net lists" on the bottom tables as there is at the top. You said you listen to Garage hammer. If you listen to it for a while, then you've heard Chris say that he relies on his build to do the heavy lifting and in tournaments. You will also hear him say he almost never comes in at the podium. He's usually in the middle third and a lot of that comes from painting points. I'm my opinion it's about the player, and not their list.

I think players should be able to take what they want, and TO's should run tournaments they would like to play in. In My event the only comp is. Small tweak to lore of undeath, however 25% of scoring is sports. If you want to take a list that is super tough but not fun to play against, that's up to you but you're doing while sacrificing a significant part of your overall score. So if when it all costs is your goal that list may not be the right answer.

The purpose of the game is to have fun, and in my opinion that goal is better served by being permissive instead of restrictive.

ultimately it's about having fun and building up the community. Most of the guys around here are great guys and should provide fun games for themselves and their opponents in my experience. Just because an event is comped doesn't mean I am not going to play. I am there to have fun, and drink beer, and have a good time with my friends.
