'Twas good times. We had six people. We started with two games, each against Cosmic Omnitron. Both lost. I have yet to beat Cosmic Omnitron.
We then played a six player (though not the F6) against Iron Legacy. We were _sure_ we were going to lose: Two heroes incapacitated and everyone else in low single digits after two rounds. Than we turned on the massive healing abilities of Argent Adept and The Tempest and worked our back, bit by bit. Epic victory!
Final game was four heroes, including all three playtest heroes against Voss. Tons of fun.

Great work taking out Iron Legacy, he can sometimes be a pain if certain card combinations come out. But that can be said about any villian, eventhe original Baron Blade can occasionally pull in a victory if his cards play right.

Apparently I'm making a habit of showing up as the sixth wheel.
Thinking about the Iron Legacy game, I don't remember paying attention to nemeses.
Looking forward to the January Indy meet ups. I just checked and SotM is on the schedule at Comic Carnival for Sun the 13th, as expected. Arsenal is even sooner, on Tue the 8th.

We had a good turnout tonight at Arsenal -- seven people.
John claimed he'd never lost a game. So we suggested playing Ennead. On advanced. In Rook City. Against only three heroes: Fanatic, Bunker, and NightMist.
John has now lost a game. Badly.
We moved on to Mad Bomber Blade and got beat pretty badly there, too. MBB had a horrific start -- three targets and multiple Hasten Dooms.
We really wanted a win after that so took on regular Baron Blade in Megalopolis. Much nicer.

We had another great meetup today -- five people at Comic Carnival. Because of comings and goings we did two four-hero games.
In the first we gave Spite the smackdown. I, uh, really felt like winning so I suggested Spite and then chose to play The Wraith. I'd read about how well The Wraith did against him. She did not dissappoint. Stun Bolt! Smoke Bombs!
In the second we had some people trying out new, complex heroes for the first time (NightMist and Argent Adept), so I steered us towards playing GloomWeaver so it wouldn't be too hard of a game. With Absolute Zero in the mix (lots of slow build heroes!) I decided to go for Ra so we'd have some immediate damage ability. It was a bit touch and go in the beginnig, but we eventually cleared the board and coasted to victory.
Next date is, as always, the second Sunday of the month at 1pm -- Feb 10th. I, however, will not be able to attend, as I'll be out of town ... on an awesome nerd cruise! http://jococruisecrazy.com/

There were six people at the Sentinels event at Game Preserve Fashion Mall Commons, so I've decided to ask that store to set up a regular time. I've asked for the first Sun of the month at 1pm. Does that sound good? In a way, it's redundant with the Comic Carnival meetup, but they won't be on the same weekends and if enough people are coming out to both, I see no reason not to.

An impressive turnout at Arsenal tonight -- 13 people, with four games going simultaneously!
Towards the end of the evening I was in a hurry but another person was interested in playing against a villain on advanced. We decided to try Baron Blade on advanced. I must have done that at some point, but not in a LONG time. Wow does Blade go through cards quickly on advanced versus five people. We won! It was certainly a quick game. So quick we had enough time to try Mad Bomber Blade on advanced. We wont that one, too, but it seemed a bit touch and go for a bit.
First game of the night? Two hours defeating Gloomweaver. Second and third games took less than an hour total.

Just four people at GP Fashion Mall Commons yesterday, but a good time nonetheless, and one attendee was new to the game. It was interesting teaching the game to someone who had downloaded and read the rules PDF already. He knew Absolute Zero's backstory better than me!

Game Preserve Fashion Mall Commons at 1pm today. Anyone planning to be there? I'm going to try to ride my bike. ~13 miles one way. Should be interesting.
The good news is I survied the bike ride there and back. Took an hour and ten minutes one way.
The bad news is that no one else showed up to play.
Is there anyone else who cares enough about this particular meetup to take over responsibility for organizing it? If not, I'm going to let it lapse.
