I'd love to know what games Fanime will have in terms of board/card games, as well as what people will be bringing.
I'll be bringing My Dwarves Can Fly, and I'll TRY to bring Dominion.
I'd love to hear from everyone else on this.
I think I will be bringing Catan, Red Dragon Inn, and Maybe Last Night on Earth

Oh man Red Dragon Inn is always a lot of good time, and Catan is a classic! <3
I'll probably bring MUCHKIN and UNO cuz I'm constantly play those games anyways.
I'll be brining my Arkham Horror for sure, but I only have the base game, so anyone with a more hefty set should feel free to lug it out as well. I might also bring my Lord of the Rings game, or perhaps History of the World if there's any interest. Would love to see some Axis and Allies if possible, or even World in Flames.

Munchkin is always a great clssic. Although I prefer Fluxx to Uno, since Fluxx is so much more insane ^^;
Will be bringing my Magic decks with me, because there were a plethora of pickup games there.
woot, Magic, we need some EDH in this con
Besides Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Naruto, which collectible card and miniatures games are people bringing?
Ill bring my YuGiO~h wait never mind you said besides
I could bring my YuGiOh deck but I don't I'll have the time to play. Plus I haven't done any updates on my deck in 2 years.

Magic is not a bad game to get into. I play and it is a blast, it just depends if you going to be casual or competitive for the format that best suits you.

After RotA went to 1 they never were the same. They are decent now because of Gateway to the Six, but not anything past Tier 2.

I would get into Magic if only their Formats were not Set rotations. Damn I hate Set Rotation.
yeah luckily there are a few formats that dont involve set rotation. For example I Play EDH, or Eternal Dragon Highlander, which has a small banned list but every set is available for use

From my understanding though Most of the formats past the main Format are virtually unplayed by most and lacks a good amount of events, correct? I assume this Format is the same.
Like YGO which has only 3 Formats (Advanced, Traditional, Pegasus), only Advanced sees play. Pegasus has little support and is only really tacked onto Large Scale Advanced Format tournaments as side events, and Traditional lacks official events period, with very little play past a local level.

That game is definitely an amusing game to play at times. There's just something magical about killing zombies, and dumping zombies on friends XD
if there is EDH to be had ill bring my deck
I'm not too certain on how much demand there would be for such a game, but I have Heroscape's two master sets and a great deal of expansion sets as well. However, considering the way boards are setup (long process) it probably isn't fanime-capable. If there's an interest, however, it can be done.
yay, munchkin!
does anyone have Bang!? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang!)
i've only played it once but it was freaking fun! would love to play it again..
Wow. I haven't played M:tG in nearly 12 years, but now I'm tempted to bring my old 1.5 deck, just to see how well it aged. (Not that I was all that great when I DID play...but still. :D) And would anyone be interested in a sealed deck match?
I'll have UNO also, and I've always wanted to try Munchkin. Some of the other games mentioned look interesting as well.
Here's my board and card game collection sans expansions with a minimum BGG rating of 6/10: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Dracil?gallery=large&columns=title%7Cstatus%7Cversion%7Crating%7Cbggrating%7Cplays%7Ccomment%7Ccommands&minbggrating=6&excludesubtype=boardgameexpansion&own=1&ff=1&subtype=boardgame
I'm almost certainly going to bring several generally portable environment-proof games+expansions (Hive, Roll Through the Ages, Liar's Dice/Perudo with slightly modified rules).
And I'll probably bring one medium-sized game+expansions (Space Alert, Galaxy Trucker, or Pandemic most likely)
I might bring a big box game+expansions (Battlestar Galactica, Dominion, Last Night on Earth, etc.) if there's actually a lot of interest for it (unfortunately, Arkham Horror is probably out of the picture)
Quote(unfortunately, Arkham Horror is probably out of the picture)
Would you be willing to play, because I'm probably going to be bringing mine, although I only have the base set?

Sounds great on both counts. I'll be there all four days, and am basically up for running a game any time.
We should probably exchange phone numbers closer to the event or schedule a time to meet up (or both!) to make sure this happens. :)
I'll be there all 4 days as well (actually checking in on Thursday)
I have Dark Heresy Rule Book (Warhammer 40k TT RPG) that I can bring if enough people are interested.
I would recommended bringing your own d10s at least 2.

Well, I need to see what time the panels and events I want to attend are happening first before I know what times I'd be available. :) Something like Arkham Horror we'll probably want to block off at least 3 hours for it. Probably 4 to be safe. :P

Well, as I said, I only have the basic set, so more like in the 2 hour range, but we probably should wait till the schedule comes out.
I'm basing the 3-4 hours on the box's printed 180 minutes + an extra hour for setup/rules explaining/cleanup. :P
Bang is a fun game. Definitely want 5 or 7 for that one. :)
QuoteI'm basing the 3-4 hours on the box's printed 180 minutes + an extra hour for setup/rules explaining/cleanup.
Yeah, if we had more than 2-3 and novices it would probably take about that long.
Last time I played an Arkham Horror game with the Kingsport expansion with 8 people we couldn't finish the game in 3 1/2 hours. Everyone had played the basic set and just had to learn the rules for the expansion.
I have most the expansions except for Innsmouth Horror and the The Lurker at the Threshold. I would be happy to bring one or two of them. Available to bring would be:
The Dunwich Horror
Curse of the Dark Pharaoh
The King in Yellow
Kingsport Horror
Black Goat of the Woods
They can easily be added to your set and taken back out as they have special symbols to differentiate them so you can sort them back out. Though I might bring my own base set just in case.
As long as the game doesn't interfere with the concerts I should most likely have the time and would love to play.

8 investigators? I've never been able to get more than 3 people into a game--most of the time, I end up going solo. That would take forever.

If you could, I'd really like to try out the Dunwitch Horror, although I've heard some good thing about Kingsport as well (I've always wanted to play the Dreamwalker, although I'm not sure he's actually any good). IIRC, King in Yellow, Curse of The Dark Pharaoh, and Black Goat of the Woods, are only extra cards and rules, right?
QuoteAs long as the game doesn't interfere with the concerts I should most likely have the time and would love to play.

I'll try to bring my EDH deck (EDH = Elder Dragon Highlander, just by the by. Elder Dragon because originally your commander had to be one of the elder dragons from the Legends set, and Highlander because 'there can be only one' [of each card])
I'll also try to bring my pre-con cube for pickup Pile, and possibly a little bit of draft. Not so sure about this, because some of the cards in my cube are on loan from other people, who might be bummed if an anonymous con-goer pocketed their Cruel Ultimatum on the sly.
On formats, for those who were wondering: There are four generally-accepted tournament-legal formats, two of which are 'rotating' and two of which are 'eternal'. All formats have a decent saturation of play, and unfortunately for casual collectors, the eternal formats (i.e. ones where the cards don't get cycled out as they get older) are extremely competitive, and decks range from $200 to upwards of $5,000. Fortunately, the cycling formats have a pretty long shelf-life (2-7 years).
A breakdown of the official DCI-sanctioned formats:
Standard - By far the most popular format, and the shorter of the cycling formats, standard generally includes the most recent 'core' set (a set containing reprints of many classic staples of the game. currently Magic 2010, more commonly referred to as M10), and the two most recent blocks (themed groups of 3 sets, currently Alara block [Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn] and the just-finished Zendikar block [Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi]).
Standard tournaments get tons of play, and competitive play rewards players who spend a lot of time following the rapidly-evolving tournament meta-tech (what decks are hot, what decks are not, what your deck beats and what it scoops to, and so forth)
Extended - The other cycling format is Extended, which is arguably the cheapest format to play at a competitive level, and includes all the core sets and blocks released in the last 7 years (I don't remember exactly where this line stands, somewhere in the vicinity of Mirrodin block IIRC)
Vintage - The format of the *true* magic geek, Vintage allows nearly every card ever printed in Magic (The exceptions are cards that mention ante, which was a printed rule in the very very early editions of the game, and is no longer allowed during tournament play, and a tiny handful of cards removed for political reasons--cards requiring physical skill that can be difficult for handicapped players, cards that make games drag on for hours, etc.). Vintage does maintain a 'restricted list' of cards considered too powerful for players to be allowed to use a full set of 4 in a deck. Only one of a given restricted card (including reprints of the same card) are allowed in a single deck.
The trouble with Vintage, especially for new players, is that many cards printed in the early days of Magic were significantly above the power level of cards printed since then. These cards are rare, expensive, and often difficult to use properly. A few sell for over a thousand dollars each. Aside from the financial barrier, the level of advanced mathematical and statistical analysis required to really understand what makes a good deck, and how to play one in Vintage, make this format pretty much reserved for true veterans of the game.
Legacy - 'Vintage lite', Legacy is the more accessible of the eternal formats. The primary difference is that all the cards on the Vintage restricted list are instead banned, which radically changes the meta strategy for this format. Since all the truly expensive cards from the early core sets are on the restricted list, that also makes Legacy significantly cheaper. It's still not cheap, but it's closer to the realm of reasonable, and the level of mastery required is more accommodating too.
There are some other non-official formats that still see lots of popular play, EDH is the one that jumps to mind. EDH is tons of fun, you can build a competitive deck for pennies on the dollar of a legacy deck, it doesn't cycle out, and it's generally more suited to newer players and casual group games. They've got a website (http://"www.dragonhighlander.net") where you can check out the rules, and they have their own banned list.

Yeah it definitely takes time. Also it is a tougher game to win because it takes less portals to summon the bad guy and monsters appear two at a time because there are more that 4 players.

I can bring Dunwich, it is one of the board expansion sets, and I haven't broken that set in yet. And yes King, Curse, and Black Goat are just card and creature expansions. They also add in unique rules as well.
QuoteWow, this is really taking off. The more the merrier!
Just let me know when. I am glad to teach new players.
Is there interest in Race for the Galaxy? I have the base game + all the expansions, including the one just released a week ago.
Also, I may bring Bang the Bullet (2nd edition). It's the base game + all the expansions.

See and us YuGiOh players complain that most competitive decks run $300 or so. Though the only reason are game does not get so high is are banlists kill decks commonly and we usually get a decent amount of reprints of some expensive and old cards. The most expensive cards in are game are tournament prize cards, though most of those past old Crush Card (now reprinted and banned) and Cyber Stein (now reprinted and banned) ever effected the Metagame much. Dark End Dragon is a nice option to have though...
That's why I got out of ccgs. Too expensive. Tried some online only ccgs for a while too and you could get some good deals by gaming the system but eventually they'd also become too expensive. Which is why I buy board games now. For $300 I could get 5-15 games instead. The LCG format (non-random packs) ccgs by fantasy flight games is probably the closest I'll get back into it, but even that can get expensive.
Well it's not so different then buying an Xbox and a video game to go with it.
~$360 for the combo. Same thing with card games. By all the cards for a deck for $360
The same thing applys when you get a new deck. $60 dollars for a new game. You carry over your staple cards from your old deck to your new one cutting the price down significantly.
It's not really a new game though. It's like buying the next iteration of Madden, set after set.
The average new list price of the board games (by which I include non-CCG card games) in my collection is $25 (and I usually get them for 20% or more off either at my local gaming stores or online). For an Xbox + 1 game, I could get 14 different board games instead at the list price, or 17 games at the discount prices.
The other problem that video games and CCGs both share is that the cost scales with the number of different players. $360 for you. $360 for me. $360 for whoever else wants to play. With board games, a one-time cost will let you play with up to X players, and those players can be different each time.
Don't get me wrong, I loved CCGs back in the day. But after high school, I lost my primary opponent and couldn't really justify spending the money anymore. So I get my deckbuilding/drafting fixes through other means now.

So, now we have a schedule, anyone have any ideas for an Arkham Horror time, right now, I'm busy Saturday night from about 6-9, and Sunday night for a while too, but mostly free. I was thinking tentative maybe early Saturday afternoon? Any thoughts on this?
I am more free for Arkham Horror in the late evenings (after 9 pm) mostly, as I plan on the concerts on Friday and Sunday. Saturday I am free earlier. Though unfortunately now that I have seen the schedule, Saturday afternoon will not be available for me. Early Sunday afternoon is looking free.
So my vote is for late night horror.

That sounds like a plan to me. Looking at the schedule, I don't have anything I'm even remotely interested in Saturday or Sunday night, so late night gaming sounds like a plan. My vote is for Saturday night, with maybe a second session if it goes really well, although probably not.
I'll probably be busy in the early afternoons for a bit each day, so nights work for me. Better thematically too. I'd prefer Sunday night as I'd like to take photos for the Masquerade but I could always just leave early since by that time it'll probably be voting/awards anyway.
Location-wise, I'm assuming we'll just be meeting in the game room around the board game area?

Yeah, we'll meet in the game room for sure. Thinking about it, I'm much more partial to Saturday night, but if thats a hassle for you Sunday should be fine.
Either late night would be fine with me. I also lean toward Saturday night but if that doesn't work out for Dracil then Sunday night is fine.
So far I count three of us, anyone else interested?
Saturday should be fine. It's not a certainty I'll even go to the masquerade anyway, and as I said, I can leave early.

If I have nothing else to do, you can probably find me playing the Solo version of RFTG+TGS at the gaming room while waiting for more players
Unfortunately, we didn't see you CaptainYossarian. We waited until 9:30 and then joined another group for our game on Saturday.
It was nice meeting you Patrick, and it was good to see you at Momoi's concert as well. :)

Oh my, what a comedy of errors, that other group
was me! I guess I didn't connect that at the time, because one of the guys in my group seemed to imply he was one of you, so I was waiting for the other of you guys--so we did play after all! Sorry about the confusion, I didn't mean to "stand you up", as it were. Hopefully we can play again next year (and by the I'll probably have some expansions)--it was a lot of fun, and we actually won too. Next time we'll have to work up from Yig.

Ahhh... I had thought that might have been you actually. Well I am glad we got our game in and had the extra 2 players. Next year we will take down a tougher boss.
It was cool meeting you both.
Dracil - I had a blast following (stalking?) Momoi all around the con at her mini quests. One of my friends won the dessert with Momoi... on his birthday no less.
So, I guess its a little early to be thinking about this, but are either of you interested in reprising for round 2 next year? I've picked up Dunwitch and will probably have Innsmouth by the con, so there should be a bit more spice. Anyone else, is of course, welcome to join, although 3 should be fine, as its really the optimal number of investigators in terms of time investment.
Certainly. More Arkham Horror is good.
Does anyone know if people bring their Magic the gathering decks? I have several and i'd love to play a few games and would even be willing to let people borrow a deck for a quick match.
Most definitely.
Hey CaptainYossarian, and all others interested in Cthulhu, I now have Mansions of Madness, and will likely bring that.
I'll be bringing a Magic deck and some dice. I hope someone's running a drop-in game, I'm really not that particular. 3.5 DnD, 4e DnD, WoD, Exalted, Deadlands, whatever.

That sounds really fun. I haven't played it before, but I've heard its quite good. Count me in.
It occurs to me that I can bring Chrononauts (http://www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs/Chrononauts/). It's a lot of fun.

Sounds really cool. And i'll be down for playing some games of MTG too.
I Can Play Yu-Gi-Oh with anyone to a competitive level.
And to note:
WE NEED TO RUN MAID RPG AGAIN.
Not sure if I'm going, but if I am, I'ma bring my Navia Drapt set. Enough for two people, but the pieces are limited.
:3 I'll be bringing my "Kaiba Case" and likely challenging people at random if I have any free time~
Lol i used to play Yugioh and i still have a case with Kaiba on it XD

Damn I also just bought that game! We will have to give it a try.
Have you played it yet?
I think I've played 1, 2 and 4.
According to the conv center's schedule, there are YGO and MTG regional tournaments going on there about 2 weeks before Fanime.
Just a heads up for you CCG players. I still have my MtG deck but I don't play anymore (it was back when 8th edition was the newest series)
I read about this but i'm no where near as good as some of the players entering big-time tourneys such as this. And if you don't want your deck anymore, i'll take it off your hands ;)
I'm gonna keep my deck(s), cuz I never know when I might get that MTG bug again in the future [It's a red/green 'direct damage' deck]. My old Pokemon TCG deck too [Water/Electric based deck]
Bringing mah YGO deck... in a POKEMON BOX!
Will be bringing Guillotine and L5R CCG.

If it is the Zapdos one I will blow.

That one is lame.
EDIT: No Offense of course.
My main deck box has Dandylion on it
http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dandylion
People love it.
Are you going to play at all this weekend?
Most definitely.
I may even enter the tourney if it catches my fancy.
I'll be bringing my Pokemon modified deck, for at least one of the tournaments, if not both. As well, I'll have my casual play magic decks (Goblins and Elves)
Other than that I plan on bringing:
Whack-a-Catgirl (single deck card game from asmadi games)
We Didn't Playtest this at all (with "We didn't playtest this either", "Chaos Cards", "Blue Cards" and "Dice are Fun" expansions)
Settlers of Catan
I may bring Resident Evil DBG as well (without the expansion)
