Epic Ian - International Tabletop Day report

International Tabletop Day

      I played many games at ITD (International Tabletop day), but I had 3 favorites. Battle Wizards, Evil Baby Orphanage, and Munchkin Apocalypse. there are these things in Munchkin Apocalypse called Seals, which occur when a monster says to in the description, and it kind of sounds menacing when someone tells you to open a seal. Also it's funny because my neighbor played in that game with me. 

     Battle Wizards was really fun. The person that taught me the game said that there is a rule that you have to speak in the voice you think the wizard would speak in. so my wizard was named Fey TinkleBottom, and I had to speak in a high pitched voice to satisfy them.

     Now Evil Baby Orphanage was really...weird. Because they had babies of Richard Nixon, John Wilkes Booth, Jack the Ripper, Caesar, Caligula, and many others.

                                                      Tabletop Day

   Tabletop Gameday was the best Pair-a-dice games event that I have been to so far.I played so many hilarious games, primarily Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre, Evil Baby Orphanage, and Munchkin Apocalypse. 

    I also played Castle Panic and Cthulhu Fluxx, but I don't feel like commenting on them, because they weren't as cool.

Battle Wizards was epic. you had to construct, as one of the players said, "Incantations of inconceivable arcane power and very conceivable hilarity". I created one that was, King Oberon's Polished Testikill. Heh Heh, Testikill. 

   Evil Baby was epically Guffaw inducing, and you nannied the baby version of evil(ish) people from history, like Hitler, Genghis Khan, and Richard Nixon.  

   Munchkin Apocalypse was just like normal munchkin, but you're trying to save the world and your own skin,and stab your buddy. With a nuke. We even got to play it with our next door neighbor. All in all, the day, was,EPIIIIIIC!!!!

Tabletop Day Successes

So Tabletop Day for me was a pretty damn good success.

I got 3 people who had never played Judge Dredd, to play, and 2 of them were unfamiliar with Traveller; the other had played old Traveller back in the 80s!! This time the trip to Haven went very quick and was quite fun, being the third time I've run the scenario definitely helped. Next week's scenario will be an almost JDMG pre-run (if i get the minis in time.) I may actually run it as a Role-playing game using the miniature rules.

For the DCCRPG I was using my own scenario as you should know from following the blog. The Light From Below was pretty well received by the two players who jumped in to play. Unfortunately didn't have the full 4 hours to play, but, in the 2 hours we got to play, I was able to determine that the layout was about right, except that the cave crickets, even toned down to a small cave cricket, are just too powerful to use against level 0s. I will return to what I was going to use before, with blind cave crabs. I think that for actually writing out the scenario the night before, it turned out pretty rock'n, all the ideas that had been swirling around in my head, really came together. I know that those two were really excited at the end to be able to contribute to something that was going to be living on after the game they played.

So Alex and Adam, thanks for playing, your legacy will survive. X marks the spot of Devin's Demise. And Boris' chalk illustration will remain beyond that one adventure. The excitement for you guys having characters that will remain and affect the continuing adventure made my day.

Perhaps Judge Dredd, Paranoia or Traveller.

(I want to run one of the Mongoose games cuz its the last chance to get a game in before the 'Infantry' goes all mini)
