Journey Into Nyx Prerelease at Dice House

The day began with a very agressive Skylanders vs. Halo battle on the kitchen table.

Halo won.

Then we headed to the Dice House. Brian drove Jack, Alex, Alexander, and 

I drove Preston, Matt, Derek, Cassidy, and Liam.

We paid and got started.

Dice House is the best shop in Orange County and there was a lot of time spent shopping.

12:00 Saturday Pre Release was not that crowded.

Jack was celebrating his birthday--he had not prepared for the prerealease but he was ready to have fun.

Alex Sanz was at his second event ever.

And drew the God Pack--all the Gods in Theros. He did not even know what it was.

The boys did a great job building out there decks. Fast and efficient--I really think that they knew what they were doing.

The games were great.

Everyone had a fantastic time.

After we came home for Pizza and Cake. Then went to the pool for a few hours. It was a great Saturday.

Sanderson’s Three Laws of Magics

1. An author’s ability to solve conflict with magic is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to how well the reader understands said magic.
2. Limitations > Powers (i.e. “Superman is not his powers. Superman is his weaknesses.”)
3. Expand what you already have before you add something new.

Another Pleasant Valley Tuesday

A very mellow morning of magic today.

Jack and Preston played Pokemon which was awesome. 

Matt and I had a viscous Red/Green Monsters vs Simic battle. He took me out quick the first game, I got him on a grinder the second game. The third game he was way ahead but the Bident of Thassa

& Prophet of Kruphix 

brought me back.

Derek beat Liam.

Cassidy lost to Dylan

Andrew & Alexander were late.

It was a fun morning, but not as eventful as many.

Actual Play Scourge of the Sword Coast--D&D Encounters S17 S9

Scourge of the Sword Coast--D&D Encounters S17 S9

Things got off to a rough start this week when we got the following news:

Hello everyone, it saddens me to bring you this news, but unfortunately Mercenary Market is closing. We made a good run of it and made a wonderful community but were unable to keep the doors open. To that end, everything in the store will be at 30% off until the doors close. We will probably be open for another 2-3 more weeks, so come in and say hi one last time!

And before the body was even cold--people were giving us tips on other shops to go to!

DM Brian has still not read the module, so we spent most of this week exploring the fallen Dwarven kingdom overrun with Duergar.

Scott was on fire--he picked up the Pathfinder book for 30% off and bought some magic packs. His Monk Wizard is a force to be reckoned with at level four.

Richard was on fire this week with discussions of Crevasse's vs Crevice and some great nerd references--he even spent a lot of time taunting DM Brian on his bound of D6's

Jack had a lot of space and spent a lot of time gaming.



The other table once again had a great crew.

I am very much enjoying my dice.

and the space at Mercenary Market is amazing.

Our tables mini's look great & it is fantastic that Brian found his play mat.

I think Jack is the only person who got a crit  this week...

what may be our last crit at MM. A great OC Shop that will be missed.
