Hello all!

So we've locked our date for the second Toronto meet up. We'll be doing it on Saturday, February 26th. That gives any interested out of towners time to plan. It will go from noon until we're all pretty much sick of each other. ;) 

PM me for details.

As before we'll be hosting a free-play, so just come, bring a deck or two and play. No stakes, no tournament (yet!). If interest is high enough, we are thinking of creating an actual tournament situation in the spring. But one step at a time.

Also, like before, players will have the option of using our House Rules. PM me if you'd like me to send the file. For purposes of a fun time, it's not a requirement. Last time we had a mix of players using official rules and house rules. Just so long as each pair of players agrees before hand. (Also, the house rules aren't drastically different, it's still the same game, just cleaned up and less ambiguous.)

Hoping to see some new faces!

Cheers!

I'm totally jealous of you guys! I would love to go but it'd be a 5,000+ mile roundtrip (8,000+ km).
*sigh*
At least post pictures!
Sometime this week me and my buddies should be posting the videos we shot of us playing OP last Saturday.

Posted! I was so busy that I forgot to post them on the forums.

This next meet should be even better than the last one if we get all the people that have shown an interest.

The first event was awesome for what it was:

9 players,
10pm closing time,
food poisoning,
and getting luck sacked by that guy with the max 6 deck (you know who you are!)

I am hoping to bring in 2 or 3 brand new players. I'm training some new recruits! :D

I may be able too as well.

I have a friend who says he'll play if I build him a deck.  Plus my brother might play again if we're not too white and nerdy for him.

Once again, I'll keep you informed. If this meetup goes well we'll do a tournament type situation in April. Of course, there will also be a free play area for people who don't want to do an actual tournament (I figure there'll be a couple).

Congratulations on the nuptials. I miss our online battles... :(  I haven't see BIOS around either.

For those that can't make it, is it possible you guys can spare the time to describe how it went, especially what were the teams and cards people used. Some of the pictures of the first meet up were interesting because I got a peek of what cards you all were using.

I think more photos will definitely happen. As well, we may keep track of what decks are used and what beats what.

Where are you located?

If you're able to come to Toronto, don't worry about skill level, just come and have fun. The February 26th get-together is just an open free play. Meet people, have a few laughs and see different playing styles.
