14-Nov-2009 (Saturday, 1:30 pm) at The Vault of Midnight

We will be playing 300 points unrestricted (no BFCs)

We will be playing "Shock the Turtle". The barriers will come from all four corners on square maps, and from the starting areas of rectangular maps.

Hey Mike I will more than likely not make it to gaming on Saturday. I know for sure that Kyle will be unable to make it as well. I finally got paid by the insurance company for my car and am hopefully going to have a new car by tomorrow I know the OSU game starts at 12 so I will b able to make that Saturday. Sorry to let you know so late but hopefully you will get this message in time.

Thanks for the update, I will still be there as the venue may be having an out-of-town guest (not to mention that other new players may arrive!)

I will bring the materials for the "house of cards" scenario too, in case turnout is light.

For the future:

Both Fun 4 All (Thursday, 19 Nov) and Vault of Midnight (Saturday, 21 Nov) plan on running "release week" 2-booster sealed events. I'll keep this thread informed with the status of booster arrivals/prize support for the Vault. The Sullivans (owners of the Vault) will be offering booster discounts on the game days, and if the prize pack doesn't appear I think we'll be having boosters as prizes. I buy my bricks from them, so I should know on Wednesday night what the status of in-store product is.

There is a third local store that told me they'd like to run events. I had told them months ago make sure to try to order the prize kits. I will try to visit them today and see what their plans are.


Upcoming Comic Creator schedule: Guy Davis will be at the Vault on November 28th from 6-8. Guy Davis has lately been doing lots of work for Dark Horse, and in the past he did terrific work on DC's Sandman Mystery Theatre and the astounding Indy comic Baker Street.

I don't plan on traveling that weekend, so in his honor I think I may reinstitute (for one week) the (in)famous "free Sandman" build rules: You may add U Sandman to your team for no cost except that the free figure automatically breaks any theme (I'll extend it as well to Dark Horse figures that cost equal to or less than 59 points, and bring extras for newer players to draft from). More details to follow!

As a fan of the BPRD I will be making the trip to see Guy.

So what is the 3rd store you are looking into hosting events at? I know Rider's Hobby on Carpenter road runs some gaming nights (not sure about heroclix though, i never bought a booster from them), just curious oh and i got a new car finally 2003 toyota corolla, little car to save on gas. see you thursday night!

Stadium Comics in Ypsilanti (about 0.5 miles from Fun 4 All) has told me that they are going to try to run events on Sundays at 1 pm. I don't have any idea what the plans are, but I assume this upcoming week would be a sealed event. They were worried they were going to get shorted on their order (through Alliance) however...so you may want to call the store to see what's what.

I have some time between school and wok tomorrow, and Stadium is only slightly out of the way so ill stop by and see whats up, and maybe buy a booster or 2.

If you do hit Stadium, try to find out what the plans for the event are. The store has a couple of patrons that will buy heavily on release day...which means that the store might not have boosters on Sunday, or that they decide they don't want to buy anymore boosters and will instead schedule something else.

I'm going to try to get the lowdown on Vault of Midnight tomorrow.

You know tidge you should check your befriend list.

Also what is going on this Thursday?

Thursday at Fun 4 All is (AFAIK) a 2-booster sealed event. I don't know what the point total will be, I expect 300.

Good news for Saturday players at the Vault.

The store was "allocated", but should have enough boosters for a 2-booster sealed event on Saturday 21 November.

The store was also sent TWO prize packs, so we should have enough maps for everyone, and prize support to last for a while! I didn't look through the prize support so I'm not sure if it's missing anything, or what we will use for the first week's prizes.

So I stopped by Stadium today, and they did get a bit shorted on their order, but a few customers who pre-ordered cases chose to hold off on picking them up until the rest of the order gets in, so they do have boosters for sale and they did get their prize support. As for the even on Sunday, the flier i was given said noon but he said the guy was talking about starting around one. but it will be 300 - points, NOT sealed, they will do more sealed events once they start getting their product on a regular basis.
