Yeah. Great. I'm sure everybody there was having a great time.

I was playing E2 Superman for crying out loud. The only other thing I probably could have played that would have stood a chance (and been legal for that event) would have been a Starro.

Like I said, though - He showed up that one time and those of us who own him have never pulled him out again (in a tournament). I have played mine at home.

No:

It gives you The RUNZAS!!!!!!!!!!

Do any of you guys know, is the Lord of the Rings set going to be Modern Age tournament legal?

No its not. (Until otherwise stated by WK)

Okay, I've figured out why they call it that.

After you eat one, everyone Runza-way from you!

Seriously; why don't they call it Fart-Pockets!!??

Based on the Street Fighter precedent it will be if it sells well. And my guess is that it will sell well.

Farts R' free Grill. thats brilliant.

Street Fighter did not become legal because of sales.

It became legal because I, and my Gripe-O-Minions, beefed about it in enough threads.

TRUE STORY

If you want LotR to be legal, you will need to officially petition since we don't care that much about it at this point.

Oooo. I like the sound of that one too.

Nicely done.

I don't care, honestly. I can take or leave the modern age. On any of it.

My thoughts if its legal awesome if not, sure ill live.

My venue owner wants to know, so he can make an informed purchase. He doesn't allow house rules for any of his organized events. So by that we could only use the LotR pieces 2 weeks out of the month. It is a bit of a catch 22 situation, since if they were allowed to be played more, he would surely sell more, which would drive their popularity and increase the chance that they would be allowed in Modern Age. But they have to sell well first, but he doesn't want to buy in at large quantities since people might not be able to play them as often as they'd like. See the conundrum here?

But thanks, I wanted to be sure to have my facts straight in order to give him the low down.

Bolded are ones I'd never heard of.

Checking, I see that Rally's has three locations in Philadelphia, though they appear to go by Checkers in this region. Never been in one under either name.

The nearest Fazoli's is over 200 miles away, no locations in Pennsylvania, so that explains that being an unknown to me.

Grandy's is even more remote, with the nearest being in Indiana or Kentucky.

Dude, if you told him about me and my Gripe-O-Minions and he actually bought the story, that'd be SO sweet.

That does it. I want a banner for my group on HCRealms.

Yeah, I know they claim to not be doing it anymore, but we'll just gripe until we get one.

Playing against the 9-year old again? That kid was pretty darn good at GenCon. I forgot the nickname you guys have for the kid, but it was well deserved.
