    What better way to spend your date than to... Nah, just kidding, I can think of lots of better ways. Have fun!
  2. Herowannabe
    Yes please! I don’t know how many people we will get but I’d rather have extra copies of the game there that go unused than have people sitting around because there aren’t enough copies of the game for everyone. EDIT: so @M0ntz3rin I take it this means you’re planning on attending?

    I wasn’t sure if the tags I copied and pasted would work or not with all the ookla name changes.

    Okay, I just got word back from Game Night Games. We’re good to go for Saturday, 12/16 at 6pm! It’s finally officially official now! I’ll work on spreading the word and getting a facebooks ok event or something set up for it. EDIT: event details: Saturday, December 16th, 6:00-10:00PM, at Game Night Games in Sugarhouse. 2148 S 900 E Salt Lake City UT 84106-2379 United States ‭ If you’re planning on coming, please let me know so that we can reserve adequate space at the store! As I said in a previous post, Este Pizzaria is right next door to GNG, and will give a 15% discount if you mention you’re at Game Night Games, and they will “deliver” it to you at the game store for free. For anyone interested we can pool resources the night of and order a couple pizzas to share around. And of course, I still have the stack of promo cards I mentioned earlier, generously donated by Kara Stewart from Team Sanderson, and I’ve been dying to finally give them away. @Themasterhunter @little wilson @firstRainbowRose @Rubix @Ecthelion III @Emerald101 @Elenion @ChaosModifier @RippleGlyph @M0ntz3rin @Shumei @Blaineabus@Crafty Games (I get the joke/fun/homage behind the whole “Ookla” thing, but have to say it’s really storming annoying when you’re trying to find specific people on the shard. ) @Ookla the Itinerant @Ookla the Puzzling @Ookla the Incandescent @Ookla the Philosopher

    We’ll still be going by 8pm I’m sure. When we did the non-release party back in August we played 2 games, and iirc we went to around 10:00 when the store closes. FWIW Game Night Games has mentioned that they have a game demo night coming up on Saturday, January 6th. If I have any promos left over I’ll probably do a demo of the game on that night, too, though I don’t expect that to be as big an event as the official release party (plus I can’t guarantee I’ll have any promos left over for that).

    Who is giving you finals on a Saturday evening!? That’s cruel! The Saturday before does not work for me. I personally could do Friday evening but it seemed like general consensus was that Saturdays work the best for most everyone, plus I don’t know if Friday works for the game store...

    Quick update: Game Night Games told me the other day that the game is on its way from their distributor- they didn't get any advance warning just a notification that it's being shipped. It should arrive sometime next week. I've asked them if Saturday 12/16 in the evening works for a release party- still waiting to hear back from them if it does or not, but for now I'd say go ahead and pencil it into your calendar...

    Thanks! And if you undo your upvote it will let you re-upvote it.

    “Fixer upper” was thought up by @Oudeis, if anyone does it it ought to be him, or at least with with his blessing. BUT, here’s a little diddy I’ve been working on for a while. When I first stumbled across this thread my initial thought was “someone really needs to do a parody to the song ‘Gaston’ from Beauty and the Beast.’” Well, now I present to you: ”Lightsong” enjoy

    The coppermind entry for RAFO pretty much sums it up. Including this line at the end of the entry:

    I gave in and bought a copy of Boss Monster: The Next Level yesterday, and got a learning game in last night. Fun little game, and it has tons of Easter eggs / homages, not just the fantasy authors.
  12. Herowannabe
    Waiting it is then. I still haven’t heard anything from Epic other than that first email anyway. I’m probably going to have to call them or go into the store and talk to them. Anyway, since we’re waiting, does anyone have any preferences as to which day we have the party? The days that work for me are Dec 8th, 9th, 15th, or the 16th.
  13. Herowannabe
    LOL this one! And this one! Dang it, I had things I wanted to get done tonight. Oh well, here goes. "Do you wanna kill some evil?" *I can't claim credit for the original idea on this one: that goes to @tecslicer and @Claincy who came up with it in this thread (which has some other great song ideas in it, like Bridge Four signing "He's a bit of a Fixer Upper" to Shallan and Kaladin).

    This just in: I just barely got an email back from Epic Puzzles and Games in West Valley and they said they are happy to host us. I’m not sure if they have any copies of the game in stock- still waiting to hear back from them, but they said they were Kickstarter backers so they probably do. Here’s the thing: they said that they are free to host us on Saturday 11/18, but at this point that’s only a few days away. That doesn’t give people much time to spread the work or arrange schedules. Next weekend is Thanksgiving, and the weekend after that I am unavailable, so our next window of opportunity is Friday 12/8 or Saturday 12/9 (assuming it works for Epic, too). But what would you guys prefer? Do it this weekend or wait a few weeks?This week is a little crazy for me but I can be available this Saturday if that’s what everyone wants to do. @Themasterhunter @little wilson @firstRainbowRose @Rubix @Ecthelion III @Emerald101 @Elenion @ChaosModifier @RippleGlyph @M0ntz3rin @Shumei @Blaineabus@Crafty Games

    Nice! Did he say anything about the card when he signed it? I’m curious what his thoughts are about it.
  16. Herowannabe
    Is it just me, or is he holding a glowing Syl-spear? And that outfit could easily be a Bridge 4 uniform from Words of Radiance. I’ve seen Boss Monster on the shelf of my local game store before but never played it. My interest level just jumped from “mildly curious” to “oh my gosh I need this game right now.” EDIT: alright, someone tell me, which Boss Monster game(s) and/or expansion pack(s) do I need to play with Branadin Wordblessed and the others?
  17. Herowannabe
    So can someone remind me, what’s Skyward? Links would be helpful. Thanks! (I would look it up myself but I’m on mobile and it’s late at night)
  18. Herowannabe
    Yep, Skype is a free video-chat service. You can get it on your computer or mobile device. One of the other players has never played before, so that’s not a huge issue. Do you have a copy of the Mistborn Adventure Game core rulebook? What about the Alloy of Law Supplement and/or the Masks of the Past supplement? anyway, if you’re interested then click on that link up there and we can work out the details (you’ll have to create a steelministry account, too).
  19. Herowannabe
    I wish I could elaborate, but that’s literally all the information I have right now. Like I said, Crafty offered to ship the game directly to the retail store so we could plan a release party, but Game Night Games opted not to go that route because hey had already ordered copies of the game from their regular distributor, and none of the other game stores I contacted ever responded to me.
  20. Herowannabe
    That was my understanding as well. It was really generous of Kara to send us some. By the way, for anyone following this thread, I never heard back from any of the Game stores I contacted, which is unfortunate, so we’re back to waiting for Game Night Games to get their shipment from their distributor.
  21. Herowannabe
    We’ve been talking about a release party in Utah, somewhere around Salt Lake City - Provo. No no clue where it will be available in NYC- I suggest talking to your Favorite Local Gaming Store(s) and see if they are willing to order it in. Or, you can order it straight from Crafty Games. Most of the Kickstarter exclusive stuff is available from them, too. As for the Promo cards, your best chance is to attend a Con that Brandon Sanderson and/or Crafty Games is attending.
  22. Herowannabe
    See page 3 of this thread, in this post.
  23. Herowannabe
    Well apparently he said elsewhere that it was not on any of the State of the Sandersons, so I’m guessing it’s something completely new that we haven’t heard of before.
  24. Herowannabe
    Read through the rest of the thread. Brandon has already specifically said that it’s not the Dark One. (Is the Dark One intended to be YA anyway?)
  25. Herowannabe
    What just happened to this thread??? Oh well, might as well run with it... You know Moash and Rock and Teft and Lopen, Dunny and Drehy and Sigzil and Shen, But do you recall... The most famous Bridgeman of all? Kaladin the angsty Bridgeboy Had a very shiny Spren (Like a Windspren) And if you ever saw her You would even say she glows (like a sphere-lamp!) All of Sadeas's soldiers Used to laugh and call him names (like Lordling!) They never let poor Kaladin Join in any army games (like plateau assaults!) Then one bloody Highstorm Eve, Dalinar came to say, (Unite them!) Kaladin woah you glow so bright! Won't you help my army fight? Then all the Bridgemen loved him And they volunteered for more (Bridge Four!) Kaladin the angsty Bridgeboy You'll go down in ancient lore! (as a Radiant!)
