Hello!

Does anybody own or has anybody played the Apex Theropod Deck Builder game? Looking for a review or a chance to give it a try at an upcoming chewsday challenge before I take the plunge. Looks like it could be a good game

Game Discussion / GMT P500 - Dominant Species: Marine
October 26, 2018, 11:04:33 AM


I am not sure if people like Dominant Species as much as I do, but this is very exciting:

Dominant Species: Marine

Sixty-Something Millions of Years Ago — A great ice age has ended. With massive warming altering the globe, another titanic struggle for supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species.

Dominant Species: Marine is a game that abstractly recreates a small portion of ancient history: the ending of an onerous ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth.

Each player will assume the role of one of four major aquatic-based animal classes—dinosaur, fish, cephalopod or crustacean. Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won't last: It is indeed "survival of the fittest."

Through wily action pawn placement, you will attempt to thrive in as many different habitats as possible in order to claim powerful card effects. You will also want to propagate your individual species in order to earn victory points for your animal. You will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others.

All of this eventually leads to the end game – the final ascent of a vast tropical ocean and its shorelines – where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have their animal crowned the Dominant Species.

But somebody better become dominant quickly, because there's a large asteroid heading this way....

Cockroaches of Burgundy's RPG Learn from the Gamemasters

Outside of games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, there has been a renaissance of role playing games (RPGs) in the past few years. Newer systems are becoming more and more available from mainstream and indie publishers across the board, in a variety of genres and styles, giving newcomers and veterans alike fresh opportunities to imagine.

The Cockroaches of Burgundy are hosting a 12-week "Learn from the Gamemasters" course as a Play With Your Food Team Fundraiser. There are 6 RPG systems being covered as part of the fundraiser with a total of 12 game nights (2 sessions per system, each 2-4 Hours):

Session #1: Game Mechanics, World-Building, and Character Creation.
Session #2: System Review and Open Play to Learn the System as a GM and a Player.

The cost to register for each system is $20. There are 6 open spots for each system and an individual can sign up for the system(s) they like or register for the whole 12 weeks at a discount of $15 per system. Each individual will walk away with a folder filled with applicable quick reference guides, setting sheets, character sheets, and an outline of the play session. All materials needed to play the RPG will be brought by the Gamemaster teaching.

Full details and sign-up here!

Fostering the experience and willingness to volunteer at a higher level in the SaskGames Organization, active Leadership and Members who have volunteered for a year or more are eligible for election to the Executive.

Election to the Executive will start with a Nomination Process at the Annual SaskGames Volunteer Meeting held in February. After discussing the shift of existing Executive Members to new positions or the retirement of Executive Members, the Executive will identify any Member-at-Large positions open for nomination. The Executive must always fill it's nominal positions—President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary—but depending on demand, there can be 1-3 Members-at-Large.

A volunteer member can nominate themselves or be nominated by another Executive/Leadership/Volunteer Member, then their nomination must be seconded by another Executive/Leadership/Volunteer Member. If the number of nominations are met by an equal number of open Member-at-Large positions, the nominees move into those positions without a Vote. If the nominees total greater than the number of open Member-at-Large positions, the nominations must move to a vote.

Newly appointed Members-at-Large move into a 1 year term.

At each year's Annual SaskGames Volunteer Meeting, the Executive will discuss role shifts within the Executive and any retirements. Firstly, should the role of President be vacant or the role is challenged, an Executive Member with the role of Secretary, Treasurer, or Vice-President may move into this role based on an internal Executive agreement or vote if contested. Secondly, starting with the most senior Member-at-Large, if there is a vacancy in either the Secretary, Treasurer, or Vice-President roles or a role is challenged, they may move into those roles based on an internal Executive agreement or vote if contested. Should the senior-most Member at Large not desire a move into a nominal Executive role, that option will fall to each other Member-at-Large in order of hierarchy until all nominal roles are filled. Finally, any Executive Member-at-Large who has not taken a nominal Executive role and has been on the Executive as a Member-at-Large for 3 years must step down from the Executive to make way for new nominations if there are nominations from the volunteer base that contest their position on the Executive. Any Executive Member-at-Large who has not taken a nominal Executive role and has served on the Executive for under 3 years may continue to hold the role of a Member-at-Large if there is no contest.

Any Executive Member at any time can choose to retire from their role and it is the responsibility of the Executive to fill that role from the existing Executive or to open nominations to Leadership/HVolunteer Members.

As part of internal Executive discussions, contested nominations of existing Executive Members to another position within the Executive will be handled via Executive discussion or vote. A nominal Executive Member may hold their Executive positions for 2 years before a reaffirmation of intent to continue serving or vote is required to maintain their position.

In extreme circumstances, a voting majority may vote out another Executive Member due to inappropriate behaviour or offensive behaviour.

After election to the Executive, the new member will attend one (1) Executive Meeting as an introduction to Executive procedures and the Executive area of the SaskGames site before being given access to the Executive area.
