jmp_mydog Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 You can bring whatever terrain you want! But I'm hoping to play on something new and unique - that I'll be bringing. Assuming I can get it ready to go! Sounds promising, I'll bring the desert train table for someone else to use first to respond gets dibs.

paradox Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ugh. I was really, really hoping to. The one night I could have was after the party and by 11:30pm, I assumed you were locked to your room with your girl and I was a bit too frazzled to focus anyway. Besides, much of my crews were used for the pay-demos and I'd have had to scrounge. I could have used Sonnia or Viktorias or some of my unpainted crews, I guess. Tuesday, Josh has me on a dance card, but I have a ton of goodies to distribute and show off so everyone can gather around me! I think we were eating about 11:30. We were in the mini hall or finding food friday and saturday nights. I think we got in about 1-1:30 each night. I grabbed one game with Mark (dozerdozen). Threw my Perdita box down for the 1st time and totally smoked his Nicodem list (the terrain was pretty harsh for him, lots of firing lanes between buildings). It started off with Nino going trigger happy bananas on his convict gunslinger (can you just keep triggering trigger happy each shot? I had two solid masks in my hand + I flopped a few more on successive shots). Dropped him with 1 action (plus gobs of trigger happiness), shot up a dead hooker with the 2nd. The only damage I took was when Papa Loco dropped the "Take ya wit me!" to drop 2 punk zombies and threaten Nicodem. After that Santiago, Franciso and Perdita wiped Nicodem from the board. The Ortegas are pretty sick. Also, I need some pointers on how Companion: Family works. Perdita doesn't have it, so she has to be last in the chain?

Perdita doesn't have it, so she has to be last in the chain? 1. Yeah, because it initiates a new Strike (target the same model with a ranged strike). Other abilities, even melee, are worded the same way, like on the Viktorias where they become the whirling blender of death. 2. You got it, actually. Since she does not have the family attribute you just tack her on last or it stops (as she cannot grant it further). It's not just a goofy omission - here's the balance: because she is last and you have to be within a specific distance to chain the Ortega's, if you try to alpha strike a broad line and forget her, the shout from a brother or cousin could come from too far away - she has to be more or less in the middle of her Ortega fam. With the family companioning, you simply say "this one and this one and this one and Perdita. They all kill you dead. Your turn." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmp_mydog Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Just a reminder this league starts next week. I'll be at Pandemonium on Aug 30, and RIW on Aug 31, so you can sign up either one of those days. Also I'll be available for a "ringer" game on either of those two days in between demos.

Phoenix Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Josh, I'm not sure if I have something in pontiac tomorrow at 6 or not. I should know by 3ish. If I do I'll come up soon as it's finished (7:30ish arrival is my guess). Just so you know. Thinking I'll roll arcanists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortmann Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Loving it so far, had a lot of fun tonight with the unique strategies (even if I didn't get mine off). Kinda sad there's no other Rezzies, but oh well, should be interesting to see how the rest of the league goes. Definitely looking forward to next weeks strats to see what fun you have cooked up for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmp_mydog Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thanks to everyone that came out, it an effort to give everyone enough time to schedule their games, Week One Results are not due until September 12 (also when week 2 are due). For those of you one the fence about joining up we have about 20 players signed up to play. Remember this is a choose your opponent league, so you don't have to play your games on league nights.

nerdelemental Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Jason called me out for a game so I can show him why Lilith is actually fun. Since he doesn't show up until ~7:30 I can get a game in against any other regular if we get rolling right at 6:00. Glenn....you've been sitting out a bunch. I'll take you down...er...I mean, I'll take you on if you want. Or if you just want to win you can play Josh. Whatever. I just need to get playing him by 8:00 'cause I'm back to school this week and will need to leave as close to 10:00 as possible because the alarm kicks my butt. So dinner and gaming quick if anyone wants me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
