What would you like to see in Tabletop 2007?

ININ · December 23, 2006, 01:34:03 PM

Open gaming is a good idea. No need to fill every hour with a tournament. The open gaming encourages people to bring their own games and play at Fanime and the opportunity to meet new people :]

Quote from: Ayanami Rei First ChildHmmmm....Dunno. I don't really have much in the way of gameage that's not on the list ^^;

That's why you go to team up with someone else to play their game! I am hoping to have the hours in the evening from starting around 6 or 7pm and running until about 9pm or 10pm.

I'm pretty sure there will be a draft like last year. I'm always open for T2 constructed =] What decks do you run?

I'm not much into constructed, but I love drafting. Right now I'm building on my last draft deck that was a red/white aggro-ish deck. It's pretty cool. I also like running white/blue control decks, but I'm not very good at those lol

Oh that's cool. I'm a constructed and limited junkie. I draft repacks with my friends to save money.

For constructed, I switch around decks but mostly run black/white control and for casual play I have a Coalition Victory deck that actually wins :3

I have a WotC rep coming to hold a tournament. However, I'm not sure if it's going to be a draft or not. Chances are, it's going to be Type 2. :]

Ayanami Rei First Child · December 27, 2006, 09:56:14 PM

Yeah I could help play other people's stuff, ESPECIALLY if it's Fluxx, I recently taught my cousin how to play that game ^_^ I'm going to send it off with him when he goes away to his army stuff >=) Then Fluxx will help spread around the world, and become mainstream like Uno!! :twisted:

I was wondering something.... I always see these TT tournaments and stuff listed for different cons. What I never see is a time where peeps who are interested in learning how to play a game can come and learn.

Or how about someone to actually discuss what a CCG game is about &/or even it's history. At 2 in the morning with the Console and Computer gaming shut down, I would love to have someone to game with or even learn how to play a game. By then all the gamers seem to have all retreated into their rooms and are having their own gaming thing going on.

I have always wanted to learn and I am a hands on type learner, but if I don't get the opportunity to do it by someone who knows what they are doing I will never learn or get the chance.

So, how about some "Learning to Play" time and experiences in there? Just a thought.

bsaphire do i know u from somewhere?^_^

I actually want to pitch the idea of a T2 (Standard) constructed tournament. Any way we can give monetary prizes?

Something like:

4-5 rounds of swiss, cut to Top 8, Top 8 guaranteed prizes

Well, it is a pity that in the previous years of Tabletop we didn't have that luxury of putting up specific times for specific game demos. Fortunately for this year, we have that luxury. Aside from the usual suspects (YuGiOh, Naruto, MtG, Pokemon), I'm working hard to get Mah Jongg and Go brought to Tabletop. I have just enough people to help out for each demo. I'll see about putting in a couple hours of "How to play a TCG". Maybe I'll make it into a panel or something. Thanks for the suggestion.

mDuo13 · February 22, 2007, 05:04:47 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing some popular, non-anime-style board games like Puerto Rico or Betrayal at House on the Hill finding their way into the game room.

All I really ask, though, is a larger, cozier, more central room. Tabletop at Fanime 2005 was perfect. 2006's room was about as bad as it gets. It was so sparse, even the really cramped-with-egaming 2004 room seemed like a step up.

Hmm. An odd suggestion, but does anyone want to consider a Lycee table?
If you don't know what that is, well, here:

Also, is Poker for FOOD allowed? My friends and I usually bet on food. Like, winner of the Poker game gets his or her food bought at Denny's or something.

Anyone care play a classic RPG? I can bring Teenagers from Outer Space again. It looked too crowded to even try last year, but it got a pretty good reaction in 2004 and 2005. Most of my games last about 3-4 hours and it takes less than 5 minutes for new players to learn. The only potential problem would be noise. Sometimes my games a bit loud, but everyone knows that giant robot rocket punches are powered by the pilots spirit :twisted: . So we probably wouldn't be well liked next to a poker game.

I would be happy to run a game on Friday while I'm still fresh, but if there is enough demand, I could run a second game later on.

Another option that I could do is run a Mekton game. If there is a big enough table (6'x6' ish) and some kind soul that could provide a buch of G Gundam action figures I would love to set up a Battle Royale.

I like the idea of a tabletop gaming panel. I would be happy to work with someone (or two) to talk about mixing anime, manga and their favorite games. My specialty is RPGs and some board games. I'd need help when it comes to TCGs and some of the RPGs that I never got around to playing.

Ska_Kitti · February 24, 2007, 12:50:36 PM

Tabletop 05 waws TOO big for what the previous Head wanted to do. The room was so empty during the entire convention and only a few tables were used by some staff, myself included. I don't really count last year as productive or anything because it was given to me in a mess. I'll talk to Ebner about the panel and get to you guys about it. :]

Last year, we played Texas Hold'Em for prizes. I think we're going to do the same for '07. Am I correct Ska_Kitti? And I'm going to have a sign up sheet for those interested in playing poker outside the con. . . those who want to participate in a poker group ^_^

Ska_Kitti · March 03, 2007, 10:15:41 AM

I've come to that little piece of harsh reality that my usual Poker dealer will probably be having a WoW raid at his place during Fanime. I may deal myself withya ININ. It depends on how big a turnout we get. Don't worry on the sign up sheet. I'll have one waiting there at the beginning of each day.

:] I'm gonna try and buy sleeves for my anime cards and use them. It makes things interesting.
