Re: Utah Monthlies 2019

This all makes a lot of sense! I’m sold on the partial scoring method for this format! Mainly out of fear of the Dewks Dead Eye snipes!

Good points all around, guys. Thanks for the discussion! We'll go with the precedent set last time and go with partial points for heroes. I'm glad it was brought up, because I hadn't given it a second thought. (I'm just the kind of player who loves the tension that comes from full points.)

And yeah, games going to time is just never a good thing no matter how you slice it, and I've been on both sides of it. The only good way to address it is to just not do it in the first place.

Ullar Enhanced for gravely wounded heroes, Sharpshooter for healthy bois

(Heheh I don't remember the Dragon, but sharpshooting Iron Man was sooo satisfying. For me. Not for @Scaperedude .)

That does make sense overall. Thanks for the explanation. And playing against 40 Blade Gruts sounds exhausting.

Location Announcement Time!

Turns out Game Haven Sandy will have space reserved for us on the 29th since we're regulars, so no need to prepare for a different location! It's super awesome of them to be so giving to our group!

Re: Utah Monthlies 2019

Question about partial points on heroes, are you guys dividing their points by number of wounds? The idea of this monthly doesnt sound highly competitive but seems like it would be fun. Im used to being ganged up on by my brothers in 3 player matches so Im no stranger to the format. Ill have to see about making it down for this one.

Check out my ebay where you can find my custom dice trays and dicetowers:

Yup, it will be by number of wounds. I'm excited for the format too as I've done a lot of 3-player games recently and I've really come to like the added dynamics that free-for-alls provide, in contrast to normal 1v1s.

I distinctly remember walking over to the Philadelphian, ordering a philly cheesesteak sandwich, bringing it back with me, all before you finished one of your turns.
