Hi everyone,

Does anyone in Regina or area play Vampire Rivals currently? 

If yes, would you be interested in participating in a weekly or bi-weekly play group or league?

Vampire Rivals is an Expandable Card Game by Renegade Game Studio.  This means everyone can buy a base set and/or expansions and has access to the same cards.  The game only has four (or five) expansions so far so it is still in a relative infancy compared to Game of Thrones, Arkham Horror, LOTR, etc.

The game reminds me a lot of the old Jyhad / Vampire the Eternal Struggle CCG (collectible card game) by Richard Garfield.  The designer, Matt Hyra and Dan Blanchett seem to have some good ideas from what I have seen so far.  Their has been a few tweaks to shorten the play time, however, which is a good thing.

If this appeals to you let's start a discussion or you can private message me.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi everyone,

The first issue of HeroHammer has been launched.  If you have any nostalgia towards the 4th / 5th WFB era in the early to mid 90's this will take you back.

The fanzine is free to download.  I have had the pleasure to introduce a Campaign Rule-set for the magazine.  This campaign is similar to the one I ran in Regina around 2008 - 9.  If you participated in that things may be familiar. 

I will also be contributing a bunch more articles as I have time including a goofy / random board game which hopefully will be a free download in the next issue.

I haven't played much W40k over the years.  My first boxed set was 2nd edition.  I only played a handful of games during that era.  I somewhat preferred the grandeur of Epic instead.

When the Battle of Macragge came out I played a little and recently I also played a few games of 8th edition.

My 11 year old son has taken a liking to Death Guard and we decided we will play through the Missions in the Command Manual.

Unfortunately, it took 29 hrs to upload this 15 min clip to youtube. 

But here is our battle report for Mission 1: First Contact.

Thanks for watching!

Hi everyone,

My youngest son, Kieran (10 yrs), and I have been playing a lot of 2 player games with the extra time we have during this Covid stuff.

We decided it would be fun to put the session reports on youtube.  We play a wide variety of games from mini's to abstracts to dedicated 2 players.

Feel free to check it out and let us know how we could improve.   This has been a fun project so far as we both really enjoy games of all genres.  It has also been quite fun learning video editing software slowly as we go (later episodes are edited and early ones are mostly raw footage).

[2520 Regina Flatland Cripple Cup – A battle of attrition mini-tournament]

2520 Regina Flatland Cripple Cup – A battle of attrition mini-tournament

It is that time of the year to get excited for Blood Bowl. 

Come one come all.  The dregs of Regina are invited to another Flatland Pre-Season event – the 2520 Cripple Cup. 

Make a team.  Make it tough.  Or don't.  Winning is important.  Survival is as well.  No cash is awarded after your games.  Meh - this isn't the big leagues.  No dumb Journeymen.  No dumb Apothecaries or even dumber Necromancers.  Injuries are permanent.  Single elimination begins after the first game...

Entry Cost and Deadline
•   $5.00 / each coach can enter one team
•   End of day / Sunday, January 12

Team Building
•   $1 150 000 team.
•   Each team needs 11 players minimum.
•   No Apothecary or Necromancer.
•   No Star Players.
•   No Igor.
•   Any team may hire up to 1 permanent Bloodweiser Babe for 100K.
•   Any team may hire a single wizard for 200k.
•   Any team may hire any number of cheerleaders or coaches for 10k each.
•   Halfling Master Chef is 200k for Halfling teams.  It cannot be hired by other teams.
•   Goblin teams may purchase up to 1 permanent Bribe for 100K.
•   All other normal team building rules apply.
•   All teams will be built on our website as normal. www.reginaflatland.bloodbowlleague.com

End Game Sequence Adjustments
All games must have a winner.  Ties are not allowed.  All matches will use RFBBL house rules for OT play.

•   No money is generated after any game.

•   One MVP is awarded at random to each team. 
•   SPP's are awarded as normal. 
•   Skills may be purchased using the online system.
•   You may not hire any Journeymen to replace missing players prior to any match.

If you qualify for an inducement during your next game you may buy a single Special Play Card drawn at random from a deck in which you would qualify for. 
No other inducements are allowed.

Tournament Games
Each team is guaranteed a minimum of 2 games.

After the first game all winners go into the winner bracket.  After the first game all losers go into the loser bracket.

Each game after the first game is single elimination.  You lose the match and you are out.  Matches for all games will be drawn at random.

Finals
The winner of the winner bracket will play the winner of the loser bracket in the final.  The team in the winning bracket gets to choose who will kick or receive.  They will also get to choose to kick or receive if the game goes into overtime. 

The winner of the final match will get paid entry to the 2520 RFBBL Regular Season.  The entry helps us cover our annual website costs.  This is usually an equivalent of $20.00 CDN.

Any questions – please reach out.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

Does anyone carry static grass in Regina?  I tried redline but they only special order it.

I recently made a static grass applicator using a negative ion generator and would like to try 2, 4, 6 and 10mm blends for some projects this weekend.

Hi everyone,

I came across this article via my fb feed... It was one of the most powerful stories I have read in recent months.

As a kid I played hockey at some of the highest levels possible.  There is a huge amount of pressure for kids to perform well.  And some parents take this expectation to an entirely different level.

Worth a read.  I guarantee it will make you think differently in how you interact with your children.
