Lately I have had the urge to play not Magic: The Gathering but other, less popular trading card games of the nineteen nineties.

there is a christian one of these, its weird

magic card generator

I@n I used to work for Iron Crown Enterprises! It was my first job as a teenager in the summer of 1983, running the shrink wrap machine. Later I did design work and other stuff. As a result I have a ton of their stuff including the Middle-Earth cards but gaming geeks are few and far between in my town. Lots of dice rolling in that Tolkien game, kind of the opposite of Magic.

you know what WOTC product I keep thinking about is fucking ROBO RALLY
that shit was tight, it had simultaneous turns like Diplomacy but without the 12-hour strategy stick up its ass

omg SLEEVE!!

I love the middle earth card game. i don't have any maps or region cards anymore, and i kind of forgot how to play. i barely have anything from the later expansions. i found a box of starters at electronics boutique for like $15 when i was in high school. and then a box of "dark minions" boosters even cheaper. that was mostly the extent of my experience with that game. but i recently rebuilt two decks and plan to search at my moms house for more stuff and maps and rulebook.

also, i stayed late at work for half an hour yesterday and played magic.

John Justen was a playtester for this game.

ian if I am ever in NYC I will bring a couple of decks! I will be in the Hudson Valley area for a coupla days over Thanksgiving week but not in the city, alas. also let me know if you need xerox copies of rules or maps or shit. I don't think I ever played with the region cards, that was an optional thing but I still have a lot of them because they came with the expansion sets.

When I first got those cards ('96 I think) I would set up opposing sets and play a game by myself to study the interactions. My girlfriend at the time came home one day...

her: "You know how I can tell you're really into this?

me: "Uh.. no."

her: "Because you don't have any music on"

i played magic: the gathering for like five hours yesterday :/

it was not for like five hours it was really only like three cuz we didn't get back from brunch until at least 2.

i totally upgraded the blue/black deck and the green deck last night.

jesus...this takes me back. I played Magic fucking constantly from age 14 or so till I was around 18. In the end I sold loads of my cards and recouped a certain amount of the money I'd spent over the years.

I remember we used to have huge "melees" that would go on till 4 or 5 in the morning.

how embarassing. it was a good game though!

how embarassing

oh please.

sorry, I don't mean to distance myself...I should be proud

oh man... if I could get my hands on some of the Illuminati: New World Order CCG I would be all over that shit

seems pretty cheap on ebay

i will get this and enlist peej to duel

elmo, i will be around this weekend.

sweeeeet, call me up!

think saturday night or late thursday night, maybe. i think friday is taken up with family stuff in Bristol. i will have ms. labs with me.

I am going to ITHACA this weekend

i want to play cthulhu mythos while in rhode island!

thursday i think i will be carving a pumpykins and drinking a beerz.

we'll probably get in late on thursday anyway.
do you wanna talk to peej and see if he's busy saturday night? i will also try to get in touch wif that boy.

and yes, we can all play

irish orgy

to be sure

my dad made 25 grand on Magic cards (he bought 100 Black Lotus expansion sets). serious!

Somewhere in my apartment is a set of old 80s Heavy Metal Superstar trading cards that I found in a box at my Dad's house.. spectacular.

Netrunner was amazing

we (me & mike c) just got our two boxes of MYTHOS: LEGENDS OF THE NECRONOMICON boosters in the mail. ebay is a goldmine for dead CCGs.

mythos is pretty fun!

maybe in 2010 i will get into pokemon

I LIKE MYTHOS.
i need to rework the two New England-based decks, though. There are some extraneous cards, since i took out the Seeking Everlasting Life II adventure.

i kind of want to play DOOMTOWN, but i haven't found a good entry point yet.

^^undead cowboy game where u play poker to resolve combat

have u found the "entry point"?

that would be a decent one, but it will be expensive by the time it ends.

ian will you be in town for thanksgiving y/n?

leaving tonight if the rain isn't bad.

(bringing magic cards, mythos cards.)

(also bringing my kitty cat)

yayayaa

ian, bro:

mythos was fun, would play again.

with all the cheap cards i will now have, i will make you two decks and send them to you via post in exchange for something of equal value (i.e. nearly worthless.)

i promised lindz to make her a CTHULHU deck tonight.
when cthulhu is in play, no investigator may gain sanity!

ohhhhh shiiiiit

i am buying some magic cards from this guy and he also has a bunch of wheel of time tcg cards that i really want to buy but i a) have no one to play with and b) think the cards themselves are ugly as fuck

new netrunner is the greatest game ever

mordy have you played fantasy flight's lotr lcg?

not yet- i'd like to

there's a new netrunner?!?

wheel of time CCG was a nightmare to play iirc.

i think most of my middle earth & mythos cards are in the basement of my ex-employer and i'll probably never see them again.. but i do have my magic decks.

i used to play this

*speaks through time*

max did you ever play this? this is one of only 2 ILX references to legend of the five rings. a friend of mine is about to start up a L5R campaign and invited me to join. i'm trying to figure out whether it will be fun enough to outweigh the hassle/detachment of playing with them remotely.
