What’s Happening?

Today: Chess (featuring a free rootbeer to the best player) @ 2pm; X-Wing Miniatures Furball Tournament @ 7PM.

Friday: Magic Packmaster League ($5) @ 3-6pm; Friday Night Magic Draft ($15) @ 7pm.

Time to suit up X-wing fans! We’re hosting our first Furball today at 7 o’ clock on the dot! This tournament will be open to everyone and we won’t be charging an entry fee–the winning team will split up a pack of promos. Try to show up early if you are able. Also, in order to have better prize support in the future we will probably be charging a small fee for these types of engagements. But while we are learning, the bill is most definitely on us!

So, the important question then is…what is a Furball?

All participating players will break into two or more teams, with each player receiving 30 points to build a 1 ship squad in agreement with standard squad building rules. No Large base ships and there is a single exception to the one ship rule for Tie Fighters with Academy Pilots. Teams will be balanced based on league scores, play is timed and carried out in typical tournament dogfight fashion.

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
