Born of the Gods Game Day @ Monsters & Magic in Mission Viejo, CA

Tuesday Crew headed down to Mission Viejo for some drafting on Born of the Gods Game Day. We drove down in Lisa's mini van.

David Welty was there for his first Magic event in a long time.

Scott drafted like a champ & had some really good cards--Xenegos among them.

Derek went for a three color strategy--he lost close ones in round one, but I think he won his next two rounds easily.

Cameron's daughter Briana was there & playing some very close matches.

Alex played in his first even & needed more help then he got--I think he had a lot of fun, but he did not draft well & struggled to score at all throughout the day.

We had two complete pods in the draft.

Preston was also playing in his first even & he did very well. 

Cameron ended up winning my pod with a classic Green/ White Heroic strategy.

David was stoked to take home so many rares.

It was a super fun day.

Actual Play Scourge of the Sword Coast--D&D Encounters S17 S2

Scourge of the Sword Coast--D&D Encounters S17 S2

Another great week of D&D Encounters at Mercenary Market in Costa Mesa. 

Richard had this creepy skull candle thing which he was using as a dice cup--putting the awesome back in D&D

Brian's wallet is very very fat.

Here is the player list from our table

Brian as the Human Monk, Charles Churches Chicken
Thor as the Wood-elf Ranger, White Castle
Scott as the Human Wizard, Hamburger
Richard as the Drow Ranger, Unagi
Jack as the Dwarf Fighter, Bill's Famous Avocado Burger
David as the Teifling Rouge, Umami
Allen as the Halfling Fighter/Barbarian, Little Caesar.

Richard had pained his own mini & done a great job on the basing.

Scott was using this for his Wizard, which was not that great.

Thor may have built his character around his mini--something that I know something about.

Richard was on fire most of the session.

Thor and Scott are still min maxing rock stars.

Brian applauding my awesome Ninja moves.

DM Curtis is having fun & Allen is clearly in the zone.

I am using these white dice this season, which may not be the right choice for a ninja--I may need to do some shopping.

I do have this fantastic new pencil.

First encounter we fought Gricks! Good lord a classic. One of them permanently blinded Brian's Monk.

The other table also had a complete flight of players.

My ninja did not do very well on his stealth to get into the Orc Camp--luckily Little Caesar was there to clean up after me.

White Castle locked into the thick of it with the Orcs.

Allen with a much needed late session Crit.

Modern Muffins

Another fun morning with the Tuesday Crew.

Lisa made Lemon muffins.

Jack made very quick proxies for his new modern deck

I played Evan the Canadian--his black deck has tricks, but could not over come the Simic.

There were several other very close matches.

And then the boys were off to Middle School.

A great way to start a Tuesday!
