So Tabletop Day is upon us again. No real plans here, I guess.
I've on,y been to one event so far and that was the 2014 event. I happened to be in the country and went to a store in Columbia to check it out. I ended up playing games for 15 hours straight that day. I was very tired and very hungry afterwards, but I was able to experience a lot of great games for the first time: King of Tokyo, Lords of Waterdeep, Alien Frontiers (instantly fell in love with that one), Takenoko, Quarriors, and more. It was just an all-around great day. Well, my wife was mighty upset when I returned home because I said I was only going to be gone for a while (I didn't know what to expect, I didn't even intend to game there; I planned on stopping in the store and then going to meet the local SCARAB gaming group for the first time at a library and if they seemed like good people, maybe continue gaming afterwards at someone house, so I said I would, be home by probably 9PM), but I got home at 4AM, so that being a great day still counts.
Anyway, last year I missed it but since I am back for good now, I have the opportunity to go again. This year a lot changed though. For one, they didn't have a way to advertise non-preferred store events on the TTD site until a couple days ago, so a lot of groups didnt advertise at all or won't even hold events. The promos are, for the most part, completely unappealing to me and are promos for games that I have almost zero interest in. The store I went to before is a preferred store and will have a huge event, but they are also doing a bunch of a MtG stuff and the only advertised thing that I would be interested in is King of Tokyo and KoNY tourneys for promos. The local store that I played Smash Up in last week isn't advertising any event and is doing MtG stuff. I thought about just loading up a bunch of games and going there but if the only people that are there are in the store to play Magic, it might be pretty lonely sitting somewhere out of the way with a stack of games in the floor next to me. Barnes and Noble are supposed to be hosting demos and events with promos, but as I said, the promos this year are not attractive to me.
So I don't know. They do have open gaming at that store in Columbia and I am sure that there will be a bunch of other people at that one looking to play all kinds of thing, but I just don't have any enthusiasm for tomorrow. I'll probably just stay home and look forward to learning Formula D on Tuesday. Here's hoping there are some great sales online, so I can buy more games instead of playing them. Although now that j think about it, I guess I could break out Legendary: Marvel tomorrow and try to learn it.
