MTG Salvation

Hey all, I haven’t been the most active on here lately, but I still wanted to share an event I’m hosting next Saturday 8/24 in Worcester, MA. It’s a memorial Magic tournament for a friend who passed a few years ago. I think a few of you are in the area, so it’s be awesome if you could make it. Even if you can’t, feel free to share it around. Thanks! Details here:

Anybody gonna be at PAX East next week? I’m probably going to bring my cube, and would be fun to get a group together to draft.

Responded!

Hey guys, just bumping that event that I mentioned last page one more time, now that we've got a flyer made up for it. Again, anything at all that you could contribute would be greatly appreciated, but I am not expecting anything.

So this happened on Saturday, and it couldn't have gone better. We raised over $750 for charity and everyone had a great time. I even had the Top 8 draft my cube to decide the winner! Just wanted to share with you all.

Hey everyone. I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Pauper/Peasant cube community over the last few years, and I wanted to let you all know of a charity event that I'm running next month, on August 27th at WPI in Worcester, MA.

A close friend of mine and fellow Magic enthusiast passed away last year, and next month we're running a memorial Magic event to celebrate his life. I doubt any of you knew him personally, but if you happen to find yourself in the area and want to attend, or just want to contribute in some way, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm certainly not expecting anything. Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Always good to get some new faces around here!

Merry Christmas you awesome Pauper/Peasant cubers!

First thing is that it's just an absolute boatload of people. Once you get past that though, the nice thing about PAX is that there's something for gamers of every type. If you care about video games, you can see all the big new AAA titles that are coming out soon, or see a bunch of new indie games that people are working on. If you care more about board games, there's an entire huge room devoted entirely to that, with vendors selling stuff and game designers showing off their new games and a ton of space to sit down with your friends and try new stuff that you've found. And if Magic's your big thing, there's a TO running drafts and other events all day every day of the convention. This is all without mentioning the panels that are running throughout the course of each day, where presenters talk about various gaming-related topics. I've gone to East the last two years, once just for one day and once all three days, and I've had a blast both times.

Just out of curiosity, any of you fine folks going to be at PAX East this year?

Looks like he shortened IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) to IMH. I have no idea what TTA is, personally.

The one thing I like better about it so far is the hover-over card images for tagged cards (e.g. Balance ). Other than that, I'm disappointed in the lack of ability to hide sigs and avatars, and the reduced number of posts per page. I know they're working on the former item, but the posts per page thing is apparently up to the admin of each particular subforum, which I get from a technical standpoint, but is still a little off-putting for me.

What sports do you all follow? I'm a Bruins, Arsenal, Red Sox....Pats fan, about that order in importance.

I'm a Fulham, Pats, Revolution, Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics fan, roughly in that order. It's not been a good year so far for Fulham.

@Leelue - That might have been the most dominant performance in a meaningful football game I've ever seen. Congrats to the Seahawks and their fans.

As for my board game request, we are talking 9 year olds on average and 1v1 . The time restraint is a hard one.

Love Letter still fits the criteria. It's slightly less fun with 2 players, but it's super easy to teach and plays very quickly. It also requires next to no set up, so you can pull it out, play a couple quick rounds, and go back to whatever else you were doing.
