Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

[KnowTheToe]

Sign me up for the afternoon game of Talisman. I have never even heard of it, but that is what game day is about.

For the morning I am thinking about running Midnight, but will wait until we have a better idea of attendance before I make up my mind.

More talisman info

Talisman in it's current edition supports up to 11 players at one time, the rules are much the same as the prior editions. Some things have been changed, as far as card content and location content.
Also where you used to have to force the other players out of the game when you got the crown of command, now you just win the game upon attaining it. The game can take quite a long time to play, so for this gameday players are limited to one character a piece. Loose your character and your out of the game, that way we might finish the game by the time Curt is ready to go home.
Thats about all I can think of as far as stuff you may need to know before playing, but if you have any questions you can email me at ejja_1@yahoo.com.
See you November 15th.

Is this a game you can learn, or should you already know how to play? Are we playing against the other players, does that mean as anewby I would be out in 15 min?

It is unlikely that you would die that quickly, you would have to draw some pretty bad cards to have that happen. It is against the other players to the extent that you are competing against one another for the crown of command, and you can attack other players directly by landing on thier square. If someone attacks you and is successfull in either psychic or physical battle, then they can take a follower,item,sack of gold or life. The quickest I have ever seen a player exit the game is 30 minutes, and that was due more to the fact that he entered the game later after the other players had a chance to build up thier stats. The later you enter the game the more stuff people have and the higher thier attributes are, as well as the fact that someone may be ready to make the ascent for the crown wich ends the game itself. One thing is for certain, no matter when you exit the game you always have fun getting to that point.

Got you signed up for Talisman - should be a blast.

Aren't you afraid that people aren't signing up because there aren't games like Midnight on the schedule?

Point of interest: Eric "Shadeus" Jensen, Lead Editor for CMG, is the proud father of a baby boy. More details as I receive them...

He's trying to trump me is he? We'll see about that.

Alright, I'll just have to roll off then; lower roll on a d20 gets the morning slot. So...

Looks like Duchess's Tea Party is in the morning, and Dark·Matter d20 is in the afternoon. Sorry, buzz!
