Hey All!

After the excitement of MN regionals it's time to start gearing up for the next midwest trounament! After Lucas's joust win will he be able to stave off 3rd place finisher Jerod (clu) to claim the top spot? Or will another card slinger throw their hat into the rings? If you missed the midwest drama up north check out our event held in downtown Iowa City, walking distance from the U of I campus and eateries!

Game designer Nate French has volunteered to lend his talents to running this events. Come meet the legend himself, and as always, stay for the social after activities!

Since I missed LCG Days I can't wait to get in on the Regional action!!

I am 90% on for this one assumign the Joust is Saturday, but have to be back in Omaha by 10.30pm to pick up the family @ the airport. But usually the Melee is the early one, so maybe I am SOL?

Friday- Hand of the King 6pm (more like casual play)

Saturday- Joust 1pm

Sunday- Melee 1pm

Sounds good! Very excited to be able to make the Joust. Any good places to stay if I decide to make it Friday instead?

the Sheraton is walking distance from the new store location. I think most folks will be housing at the Heartland Inn in Coralville which was walking distance from the old store location, but it shares the same parking lot as Old Chicago. There is one spot open on my couches Friday night!

Sheik and I are talking about the Saturday joust as well.

Nicey!

From the Iowa meta it looks like we have 10 fer sures, 3 maybes, and 1 no way. So, we'll be in double digits counting Iowa alone. I'm pretty sure 4-5 from Stanton land. 2 maybes counting Shie(k)-Tom meta. 2-3 from MN. Met some folks from Dekalb area that could easily make it. I think MO crew is out. So, that currently puts us at...

17 fer sure
9 maybes

these numbers are only from the folks that have post so far!

Maybe I missed it, but perhaps we'll see a car from Madison if Jesse and the LoB can make it down. And perhaps they could drag "the real Lord of Stags" along with them, if only for the reminiscing... and to increase the mustache quotient. >

I really wish I could come! Unfortunately, I have my kids and thus can't. This sounds like it will be a great event and you Iowa boys are always a ton of fun. Even though I can't go, I will be encouraging any of our travel-friendly Missouri meta to make the trip.

Are there any suggestions you'd like to make regarding blackmail prospects to use against Paul or Daryl for leverage?

wow, if there *were* a car departing from madison, i don't know that i would be able to avoid tagging along instead of hunting for an apartment... i'll shoot them an email

The options are nearly endless

Come to the AGOT Iowa Regionals and compete against Matthew Ley, the #6 overall finisher for the Invasion World Championship!

#1, Tim Lyons, Dwarf solo
#2, Paul Bittner, Dwarf with High Elf
#3, Garett Brett, Dwarf with High Elf and Empire
#4, Brian Garber, Dwarf solo

If we're lucky, #1 overall finisher Tim Lyons will also try out his converted Invasion skills!

~I am confused, shouldn't you put the top 4 at aGoT Worlds rather than top 8 in WH in this thread?

When are you playing Invasion? Do you have a Regional for that as well? I haven't played in forever...

I should have made top 4 dammit, lost by one damage on the last turn to Brian I would have gotten smoked though in top 4, no chance against Tim or the rest.

Well said Stanton. Well said. Rings, we are having our Invasion regional this Saturday. I don't think we'll get that many folks to show up but I can guarantee more then teh LCG Days (6).

Too bad on the WH Regaional. A good game, just not as good of a property (IMHO).

I am typing blind so sorry about the typoes.

hmmm this happens everytime I try and post from my droid. I'll have to stop doing that until I figure out what's causing it. Anyway, katie and I are in for sure. Kyle and dani are maybes. and the legendary cmann is 50/50!

Taht would ratchet our totals up by one! Tell C-Man to get his Greyjoy booty over here!

Just got a message that LOB and Jesse will be attending!! And, will someone please fix this thread?

if you guys are trying to post, just right click the big white space select "inspect element." Then it will open up another window with a line selected. Right click that and select delete node. That should make the post window normal again. You might have to do it twice. And you'll have to do it each time you post, but it only takes a few seconds. Also not sure if it works on every browser. I'm using chrome.

You can count two more for this one. Myself and Shennanigns (ok I just spelled that wrong but since I can't see what I'm typing sue me ) The only decision is if we are going to day trip it or spend the night saturday. I have to be at my wife's first 5K in the morning but that will be over by 9:30 and it's about a three hour drive for me from DeKalb. Woot!

BTW I'm leaning on the "crazy" lanni deck. Just a couple more tweaks. (It helps to read the errata BEFORE making your deck......

Great to hear!! Remember everyone. The chapter pack will be legal! Get your hands on it today!

Side note- ialways root for crazy.

The head count is now up to 25 for sures! With another 5 "thinking" about it. Everyone have a great weekend before the gpokemon showdown! er, agot, we'll be playing agot....
