I don't think we're gonna hit 1000 before GenCon's done. But it'll be interesting to see how long it takes...
In the biggest upset ever, Chrono-Ranger, Freedom Six Tempest, Dark Watch Expatriette and Eternal Haka took the Chairman down, and I mean downtown, in the Final Wasteland, no Unforgiving Wasteland needed! That impossible challenge taught me something, it seems!
Try as they might, Argent Adept, Dark Visionary, Youngest Legacy and Bunker could not repel Miss Information's assault on Insula Primalis.
Mr. Fixer, Redeemer Fanatic and Visionary fell to Kaargra Warfang and her Gladiators at Megalopolis, no points necessary.
Grand Warlord Voss crumbled like a house of cards before the mighty onslaught of Legacy, Haka, Tempest and the Wraith. Hilariously, Omnitron-IV's Defense Grid would have taken him out, if not for a just-played Mega Computer.
Ra: Horus of Two Horizons and Dark Watch Nightmist were able to keep the Scholar alive through the game from hell: versus Skinwalker Gloomweaver at Pike Industral Plant, for at least a solid hour.
To add insult to injury, after banishing Gloomweaver from this plane of existence, Ra and the Scholar of the Infinite dragged Unity to the Realm of Discord to kick his butt again and leave him there for keeps.
Freedom Six Unity, Expatriette, America's Greatest Legacy, Rook City Wraith and Super Scientific Tachyon took on seven of the Ennead in the Ruins of Atlantis. Tachyon finished things by bouncing a Sonic Vortex off herself to hit Geb twice. :D
G.I. Bunker, Freedom Six Wraith, Omnitron-X and Tachyon learned it is not a good idea to face the Dreamer in Silver Gulch because she kills everything. :(
Captain Cosmic, Dark Watch Mister Fixer, Fanatic and Super Scientific Tachyon taught Deadline that (destroying) time (Cataclysm) doesn't pay. :V

The Scholar and Guise were in Megalopolis, getting a hotdog and/or contemplating their places in the universe when Baron Blade attacked. Legacy and Tempest called off their fishing trip (catch and release -- Tempest was there to reassure the fish) to assist, and knocked the mad doctor back on his heels.
The Scholar and Tempest then went to Insula Primalis, intent on a nice camping trip, when Akash'Bhuta rose up. Out of nowhere popped the Chrono Ranger, and the three of them took her down with relative ease (turns out Chrono Ranger really loves Obsidian Fields. All three of them.)
DW Expat, Omnitron-X, Chrono Ranger, Super Scientific Tachyon, and Guise found Kaargra Warfang and her Colosseum in the Final Wasteland. They proceeded to beat the Gladiators in front of New Jersey Devils and Horrid Skunk Apes

Freedom Six Tachyon, Ra and Freedom Six Tempest were not enough to stop the Citizens of the Sun from plundering the Tomb of Anubis.
America's Greatest Legacy, Scholar, Mister Fixer and Chrono-Ranger just kicked the everloving crap out of Wagner Master at Wager Mars Base. I mean, all he had were wagelings and the one condition you can straight-up ignore if nothing's face-down, and every time he'd pull out something that made us hit ourselves? Meteor Swarm. I've never had a more straightforward game against that little blue nincompoop!
Argent Adept, Tempest and Sky-Scraper were actually able to slog through Spite in Rook City, thanks to a timely sacrifice (and 28-point Retribution) from Redeemer Fanatic.
Visionary, Guise, Dark Watch Nightmist and Elemental Wrath Absolute Zero did not have nearly as good a time against Spite: Agent of Gloom at the Block, however. (Go figure; flip around the environment dial, and he's easier in the hardest one out there!) I did find a cool new bug, at least!
Though Dark Visionary, Dark Watch Expatriette and Ra (Horus of Not One but Two Horizons) fell, America's Youngest Legacy was able to hold on to the last minute and save Dok'thorath from a rat invasion. (How the heck did he get there, anyway?)
Legacy, Omnitron-X and Tachyon routed Kismet at the Enclave of the Endlings.
It was a rocky fight, but Freedom Six Wraith, Bunker and the Scholar of the Infinite took down Infinitor in the Final Wasteland. (Good combos for the savvy Sentinel: Smoke Bombs + Flesh to Iron; Adhesive Grenade + Ancient Library and/or Con's Bunker)
Try as they might, Eternal Haka, Nightmist and Freedom Six Unity couldn't save Heroic Infinitor from himself. Of course, they also couldn't save him from Insula Primalis... (I've always wanted to beat him on his flip side!)
La Capitan sailed into Megalopolis, and Omnitron-U, Absolute Zero, Expatriette, Engine of War Bunker and the Wraith sailed all over her face. (I'm so not used to playing her on standard...)
G.I. Bunker, Haka, Unity and Rook City Wraith could not withstand Apostate's lies. I blame Omnitron-IV.
Omnitron-X, Sky-Scraper and Dark Watch Expatriette worked like a dream to take down Ambuscade at the Pike Industrial Plant.
Captain Cosmic, Argent Adept, G.I. Bunker, Mister Fixer and Unity fell to the living rockslides of Akash'Bhuta in the Realm of Discord. :(
It was close, but even Omnitron-U's trickery couldn't stop his Cosmic counterpart from running roughshod over the Eternal Haka, Nightmist and Tempest in the Ruins of Atlantis.
Traveling back in time seemed to do the trick, though, as Dark Watch Mister Fixer, Freedom Six Tachyon, Expatriette and Absolute Zero made short work of prime Omnitron in Silver Gulch.
Madman Blade tried to blow up time (cataclysm)! He was bad at it. Dark Watch Nightmist, Elemental Wrath Absolute Zero, Rook City Wraith and the Scholar taught him you can't really do that anyway.
And lastly, Legacy, Freedom Six Unity, Dark Visionary and Haka made milksmeat of Baron Blade as he was up to his old tricks in the Tomb of Anubis. Thus endeth my little challenge! (You know, I totally forgot about Santa Guise...) But of course, I have plenty of time to play more games, so it's back to advanced...
Captain Cosmic, Argent Adept, Visionary, Absolute Zero and the Scholar of the Infinite succumbed to Plague Rat's infection in Insula Primalis. (No, but imagine the Scholar, partially a rat, made entirely of metal, being chased by dinosaurs while swinging around a sword made of light that has two more light swords attached to it and that was the game.)
Unity, Scholar of the Infinite, Omnitron-X, Expatriette and Young Legacy lost 20-9 against Kaargra on Omnitron-IV.
Though most of them were down by the end, Tempest, Eternal Haka, Captain Cosmic, Fanatic and Omnitron-U scraped to a victory against Deadline in the Block.
Revenge against Cosmotron was not to be had. Guise, Omnitron-U, Engine of War Bunker and Sky-Scraper fell at the Tomb of Anubis.
Sky-Scraper, Absolute Zero, DW Nightmist, Scholar, and Beardy Ra found themselves on vacation in Dok'Thorath Capital. This proved bad luck for Kismet who went down.

The Ennead were up to trouble at Pike Industrial, but, sensing trouble, the Argent Adept, the Scholar and Haka were on hand, joined by Chrono Ranger, who had Golem Unity tagging along, presumably as a vacation from her bad future. It was a close one, with Unity nearly succumbing to her own powers, but in the end Set's incapacitated flailing was the Ennead's undoing, as he kicked off a Vernal Sonata that let the rest of the team clobber Nephtis while Chrono Ranger collected the bounty on The Whole Gang to bring in Shu.
The Chrono Ranger, Dark Visionary and Omnitron-X found themselves time displaced. They thought perhaps they ended up in the prehistoric era, until Akash'Bhuta arose and they realized they were in Insula Primalis. The chaos bringer nearly brought them down, and Chrono Ranger found himself out-hunted, but a timely volcanic eruption brought Akash down before she could finish off the heroes.
(This also marks perhaps the first time I've ever intentionally destroyed an Obsidian Field. Usually I keep them out there because the buff's worth the extra hurt, but she had a couple rounds where I just couldn't get rid of her limbs fast enough and the +1 would've eventually done me in.)
The Ennead were up to no good, trying to break out of The Block -- even causing a riot in their attempt to escape. Sky Scraper, Nightmist, Absolute Zero and Unity were called in, and while it was a close one -- AZ nearly taking himself out along with Shu -- the heroes were victorious.
I dusted off Villains today and played a few solo rounds. It was fun!
The team of Parse, Ra, and KNYFE faced off saved the Earth from final judgement in the Celestial Tribunal by beating down Sergeant Steel, Greazer, and Plague Rat.
Baron Blade, Citizens Hammer and Anvil, and Proletariat wreaked their vengeance upon Legacy, Tachyon, and Tempest in Megalopolis
Biomancer, La Capitain, and Miss Information were no match for the combined might of Legacy, The Wraith, and Ra, and were promptly ejected from Freedom Tower
Hey, GenCon's over, we're back home! You all lost.
But I can help maybe. I played, in total, at GenCon:
Wednesday Night I ran a block of the games, where I helped run three tables, these being the results: Ra, Legacy, Captain Cosmic and Tempest vs. Kaargra Warfang at the Celestial Tribunal, barely won. The Hunted Naturalist, Parse, The Adamant Sentinels, SS Tachyon vs Deadline at Insula Primalis, handily won. Bunker, Wraith, Absolute Zero, Unity vs. Miss Information at the Block: lost badly. Kvothe Argent Adept, BoT Chrono, Omnitron-U and Eternal Haka vs. La Capitan in the Time Cataclysm, barely victorious. DW Ex-Patriette, DW Mr. Fixer, DW Nightmist, DW Setback vs. Plague Rat in Rook City: environment and Mr. Fixer made sure they lost and badly. Apostate in the Court of Blood vs. Dark Visionary, PW Fanatic, The Scholar and Guise, lost badly, in which I learned that vampires + relics are terrifying in how they spiral out of control without sufficient environment destruction. Fanatic, though also dead, was MVP. Progeny at Wagners Mars Base vs. KNYFE, Young Legacy, Sky-Scraper. Surprisingly handy victory, lots of damage and boosting made for a brisk game. Total: 7
Mobile release: Weekly One-Shot (last week), and three other Randoms. I forget the specifics. They were just to keep myself busy while the internet sucked at GenCon. Total: 4
Phantaskippy, some rando con-goer and I demo'd (it was a full game though) SotM with the following set up in about five minutes: BB at Insula Primalis vs. Haka, Fanatic and Ra: Total: 1.
I demo'd SotM a surprising seven times in a four hour block of a work shift, with the same set up: Total: 7
I played in an OblivAeon demo, wherein we lost to the Demo Three Hours Clock, with the following crew: Argent Adept (Omnitron X), Legacy (Tachyon), Ex-Patriette (Mr. Fixer), Haka (Unity). You get a backup hero, btw. We played in The Block and Ruins of Atlantis (with Enclave, Insula Primalis and Pike Industrial Complex up on deck). Total: 1?
I also ran the game one night for a friend, wherein I decided to see if I could try Apostate in the Court of Blood and _actually win_. This time we had The Sentinels, Ex-Patriette, Captain Cosmic as the team. We won, thanks only to the Apostate Apocalypseing the environment twice, with our highest - of six heroes - being at 3 HP. Half the Sentinels were dead. It was horrifying. Total: 1.

Freedom Six Wraith, Horus Ra and Sky-Scraper travelled back to Silver Gulch to kick Ambuscade's derriere!
Ra, the Scholar and Santa Guise faced the Ennead in the Ruins of Atlantis. It was a fantastic match, they took out six of the Ennead (Ra took out two on a single card-flip round), and Guise made everyone look good. Unfortunately, with the amount of card loss, the heroes couldn't hold out in the end, and eventually fell.
Legacy, Chrono-Ranger, Tempest, and Visionary battled Gloomweaver in the Realm of Discord, in an attempt to unlock Visionary's dark powers. This team was so good at locking down the demonic god that they had to try twice!
Oh no! The people of Dok'Thorath were too busy fighting and didn't read the T&Cs they were clicking on when they installed their new weapons software, Omnitron lives again! Fortunately the crack legal team of F.6. Dalton, Long, D.W. Walker and Brooks were on the scene to clean up the mess. The Citizens were so grateful that they offered the heroes shelter in their HQ when their Freedom Fighters were out rioting, something that is so rare it needs commenting on!

But I can help maybe. I played, in total, at GenCon:
Wednesday Night I ran a block of the games, where I helped run three tables, these being the results: Ra, Legacy, Captain Cosmic and Tempest vs. Kaargra Warfang at the Celestial Tribunal, barely won. The Hunted Naturalist, Parse, The Adamant Sentinels, SS Tachyon vs Deadline at Insula Primalis, handily won. Bunker, Wraith, Absolute Zero, Unity vs. Miss Information at the Block: lost badly. Kvothe Argent Adept, BoT Chrono, Omnitron-U and Eternal Haka vs. La Capitan in the Time Cataclysm, barely victorious. DW Ex-Patriette, DW Mr. Fixer, DW Nightmist, DW Setback vs. Plague Rat in Rook City: environment and Mr. Fixer made sure they lost and badly. Apostate in the Court of Blood vs. Dark Visionary, PW Fanatic, The Scholar and Guise, lost badly, in which I learned that vampires + relics are terrifying in how they spiral out of control without sufficient environment destruction. Fanatic, though also dead, was MVP. Progeny at Wagners Mars Base vs. KNYFE, Young Legacy, Sky-Scraper. Surprisingly handy victory, lots of damage and boosting made for a brisk game. Total: 7
Mobile release: Weekly One-Shot (last week), and three other Randoms. I forget the specifics. They were just to keep myself busy while the internet sucked at GenCon. Total: 4
Phantaskippy, some rando con-goer and I demo'd (it was a full game though) SotM with the following set up in about five minutes: BB at Insula Primalis vs. Haka, Fanatic and Ra: Total: 1.
I demo'd SotM a surprising seven times in a four hour block of a work shift, with the same set up: Total: 7
I played in an OblivAeon demo, wherein we lost to the Demo Three Hours Clock, with the following crew: Argent Adept (Omnitron X), Legacy (Tachyon), Ex-Patriette (Mr. Fixer), Haka (Unity). You get a backup hero, btw. We played in The Block and Ruins of Atlantis (with Enclave, Insula Primalis and Pike Industrial Complex up on deck). Total: 1?
I also ran the game one night for a friend, wherein I decided to see if I could try Apostate in the Court of Blood and _actually win_. This time we had The Sentinels, Ex-Patriette, Captain Cosmic as the team. We won, thanks only to the Apostate Apocalypseing the environment twice, with our highest - of six heroes - being at 3 HP. Half the Sentinels were dead. It was horrifying. Total: 1.
Grand Total: 21.

Not sure how you lose when you are playing SotM.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

It's when all your heroes are incapped. I think I might have found a rule you were playing wrong Pydro...

Young Legacy, Omnitron-U, Nightmist, and Guise defeated the gladiators Kaargra threw at them at Wagner Mars Base. Even with weapon caches the Gladiators found wasn't enough.

Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and laminate their women! - Guise, Prime Wardens #31
Freedom Six Wraith, Horus Ra and Sky-Scraper travelled back to Silver Gulch to kick Ambuscade's derriere!
Ra, the Scholar and Santa Guise faced the Ennead in the Ruins of Atlantis. It was a fantastic match, they took out six of the Ennead (Ra took out two on a single card-flip round), and Guise made everyone look good. Unfortunately, with the amount of card loss, the heroes couldn't hold out in the end, and eventually fell.

Legacy, Chrono-Ranger, Tempest, and Visionary battled Gloomweaver in the Realm of Discord, in an attempt to unlock Visionary's dark powers. This team was so good at locking down the demonic god that they had to try twice!

Oh no! The people of Dok'Thorath were too busy fighting and didn't read the T&Cs they were clicking on when they installed their new weapons software, Omnitron lives again! Fortunately the crack legal team of F.6. Dalton, Long, D.W. Walker and Brooks were on the scene to clean up the mess. The Citizens were so grateful that they offered the heroes shelter in their HQ when their Freedom Fighters were out rioting, something that is so rare it needs commenting on!
