Magic, The tournament
Chris  LaBarge

As the tournament wound down, so, apparently, did the interest.  Only six people registered decks for the final round of play.

All who registered their decks came away with prizes.

This was Norm's first attempt at an in store tournament, and much was learned from it.  First and foremost was to find out when CMU's spring break is and make sure it doesn't land inside the tournament time frame.  The second thing learned was to discover a better way to organize game play itself.  Too many players simply didn't get together to play.

A sealed deck, one day tournament is in the planning stages.  Actual occurrence will depend on the amount of interest shown.

Diplomacy
Chris LaBarge

A game of Diplomacy had been scheduled for Saturday, April 3.  When the requisite number of people failed to show up on time to begin the game, despite expressed interest given during the two weeks prior, it seemed like the day might be a wash.

Then Al Shock valiantly put forth "Kill Doctor Lucky" for the enjoyment of those who were there.  Once Doctor Lucky had been dispatched, our intrepid players went on to Craigdarroch to eliminate the Doctor's evil twin, also known as Doctor Lucky.

When that task had been accomplished all those present decided to relax by climbing up the side of a tall building.  Unfortunately, Devil Bunny was there and began jumping upon the climbers.  Even with the carnage of bodies being smashed upon the concrete sidewalk, more and more people attempted the feat throughout the remainder of the day.

An enjoyable afternoon was had by all.

There are still some openings available, and space is limited. I may move the start date to May or June if there is enough interest.

BESM
I am hoping to run a Big Eyes, Small Mouth adventure this summer.
The setting will be similar to Dragon Ball in that there will be space travel, aliens, a lot of high tech gadgets but little to no high tech weapons, at least no distance weapons.  I need at least four people committed to four gaming sessions to make this possible.
