What would you like to see in Tabletop 2007?

[Ska_Kitti]

Easy question! :] Pump out the ideas and I'll see what I can do for hosting the selected games. The base games will be there (YGO, UFS, Naruto, FMA, MtG), but if there's anything else, drop a line!

[Spiritsnare]

I think we should start with a bigger, more 'visible' room, first...^^;

Joking aside, can we get a deck or two of [regular] Uno in there? That game's insanely addictive, but it's oft forgotten...

Add Simpsons UNO to the UNO list.  *Hee, hee*

[Ska_Kitti]

I can get my hands on Star Trek UNO... *hit by rotten fruit* X_x;;;

[Umi.Ryuuzaki]

Want a sticky ^^?

[ININ]

Ska_Kitti, consider a multiple UNO event.  People bring different versions of UNO and play for prizes related to the UNO game :]  Simpsons UNO winner wins a Homer Simpson figurine.

[Ska_Kitti]

An UNO tournament? LMAO. I'm lobbying for a bigger room next year, so it may be possible. I'll toss around the idea ot the others. Umi, if you could, please make this a sticky.

I'll do what I can to bring UNO... PROVIDED that it revolves somewhere around anime. Ideas are appreciated. ^_^

[lying is an art form]

Bigger rooms, fans, windows, air purifiers/fresheners, and more tournaments =D

Specifically Magic tournaments =X

What about some whacky Magic vs. YuGiOh kinda thing? o_o

[Blue Impulse]

Warhammer 40k ;D

stickied 'cause its for assisting with future planning of tabletop

The room from 2005 was perfect for Tabletop. 2006's room was terrible. Big, cushy seats, lots of round tables plus long tables, etc. are a necessity.

I'm a huge fan of Apples to Apples, Flux, and lots of nifty games I've never heard of.

I also still want to try a late-night D&D adventure at Fanime sometime.

[Ska_Kitti]

Well, the room for 2006 wasn't well drawn out, due to confusion and/or miscommunication between HR and the previous Tabletop Heads. The small room, lack of long and round tables, and restricted hours were all due to the "changeover" when I became Head. I am debating putting the Tabketop Room with the rest of Gaming (Arcade and E-Gaming), but that depends on who will be my staff.

Our concrete game so far is UNO aside from the usual TCGs (YGO, UFS, FMA and etc.). I'm not sure if Flux is a popular enough game for a big group to get around, but I'll check it out. Apples to Apples is great enough on its own. I may buy a stack of blank cards and input Japanese Cultural terms on there so it fits in better with the convention.

I'm not certain what hours we will have the room open for 2007. If our staff this coming year is uber-reliable, then we may be able to keep it open until 2 or 3am. If we are able to hold the late hours, then we will be able to hold late nite D&D.

[ININ]

Arcade and e-Gaming are really loud with the music and the people playing the games and people watching.  Tabletop gaming is going to be hard to play with the noise -__-

[Ska_Kitti]

That's one of the many concerns I've had since the idea was mentioned. Thanks for posting your concern. ^_^ I know that's on my "List on Concerns".

[Sucrose]

Hahaha, Apples to Apples will be around in some form or other next year, even if it's not in Tabletop.

And amen to the UNO tourney! Especially if somebody brings UNO Attack...

[Ska_Kitti]

Well, I'll probably just allow regular UNO. I don't know how UNO Attack works. ^_^ Lemme see what I can do about it. I'd LIKE to run an UNO and/or Apples to Apples tournament.

[ININ]

I think UNO attacks is another type of UNO with a device that shoots UNO cards =__=

Well, seeing that Tabletop '06 was a horrific spleen-wrenching affair, I'd rather hope we could return to the days of Table '05 with the big tables and much bigger time limit for the room. The game variety was also dissapointing , having only pedestrian TCG's and such. Though, blame for that can be placed as much on the players as it can on the people running the room. At '07, I would hope that the game variety would be a lot higher, cause I can put up with a crappy room, but having nothing to play is inexcusable. What happened to the fun and obscure board games? To Chez Geek and the like? No figure battles?

Nay!

I say we bring our Chez Geeks and our VS Systems! Our Doom the Board Games, our HeroClix, our Warhammer 40k's! Our Twisters and-!

Okay, not Twister, but I think my point was brought across. Or you all think I'm nuts. Here's to hoping for both.

[Ska_Kitti]

I would take all of the blame of the small room and et cetera for the inconveniences, however at the time I inherited the position, all of the damage had been done. If you have any more repetitive complaints, PM Wirebrain who was the former Head. Since I only had about a month and a half at the most to manage what slim pickings I had from the Heads and from Ebner (Head of Live Programming), it was a nightmare to put so many people into a small room while managing a small staff and rearranging my specialists. We had to close the room down early because the majority of my staff dropped out without telling me, then lied to me, so enough of that blasphamy.

Every room gets one. I'm glad and horrified that Fanime '06 had to be that year, but since I was invited to manage the next year, I am taking suggestions other than ones already mentioned. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Akira, I'm invited another specialist to the room who holds weekly HeroClix tournaments at the Great Mall in Milpitas, as well as other games. He was in the room this last year. Like posts above yours that you should have read, Warhammer 40k is a maybe.

Glad to see Team Flex will be running the room next year. Lemme know if tabletop gets a good sized room next year. Eu d'Otaku is *not* my scent!  :o

* UNO: If I can find it, I'll give my copy to tabletop. It's a cheap game, anyway.

* UNO Attack: VERY good idea. Should be a hit with tabletop.

* Apples to Apples, Chez Geek, Doom: As a demo volunteer for Out of the Box Games, Steve Jackson Games, and FFG, I can supply a copy of these and their other games. SJG also has an anime card game called King's Blood, originally created in Japan.

* Fluxx: Also inexpensive. Another very good game for tabletop.
