Mage Knight III is still in pre-game, and needs someone to replace me. So far the only choice that's been made is your hero.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

One spot is still open for Agricola IV. We're playing with all three base decks (EIK), drafting our starting occupations and minor improvements, and playing tournament mode (certain cards selected by the BaJ community banned due to balance issues).

We need more games!
QVist was involved in pretty much everything as either a player or a mod.
I've offered to sub in for him in the couple games that seem like they might want to continue.

Now, I'm going to offer to mod something.
I think having more things to do here, actually helps me be more active.  It's a bit of a balancing act, because if I do too many things then they start to fall off, while if I do too few things they all start to suffer as well because I'm not as excited about coming around to see what's going on.

So, I'm going to go ahead and offer to mod whatever game people would like to play, that I can run.  I'll try to build up a list in the mean time.

I'm pretty curious about Agricola, is there a good resource for learning the game online/someone willing to help me learn? Or is the rulebook simple enough? I'm sure that at some point I'll be willing to sit down and wage through the rulebook, but probably not for an online game...

I'm open to run Acquire if people want. It works very well as a PBF, but I don't know if there is enough interest.

I would run or play Acquire.  Love that game.  But I don't have any sort of set-up/form to play Acquire with...I'd probably just setup my actual gameboard and take picutres of it...though that would probably get tedious fast.

Excel spreadsheet would work so perfectly for the board though. Deal out tiles, allow anyone to edit the spreadsheet, they play a tile onto the board, color code it to whatever hotel it joins with (if needed), buy stock, have the mod give them a new tile, rinse and repeat.

Both the mod and the players would have very little bookkeeping.

This instructional video is getting quite a lot of positive comments, so you might wanna try it: #at=1539
Agricola is actually pretty straightforward: You place a worker an do what the spot it's on says.

If anyone is interested, we could do a beginner's Agricola game, I know Twistedarcher also expressed an interest in learning how to play.

That's 3, and I'm sure we can get michaeljb to help teach (he's better than me.  Actually, like Dominion, I've found I suck with more than 2 people).

Yeah I'd be totally down for a beginner game of Agricola. But I swear this is the last forum game I join for awhile! Too many cool games!

I've played exactly 1 game of agricola ever. It was fun. I'd probably be interested in playing it again.

You can play dominion with more than two people!?!?

Man, what a strange and bizarre game THAT would be.

You totally could have got me, but looks like I'm late to the party. :)

I'd be in for Acquire if that runs.

I'm up for running Eclipse if folks want to play it.
I'd be interested in running/playing an intro 18xx game (Note: I've never played myself), presumably 18AL.

Or maybe something like Imperial? Die Macher?
Note: I've never played those games either, but I'd like to play/run them to see how they go.

I'd be willing to run/play another Mage Knight game if there's interest again.

I'd be interested in running some other game that people want to play also.  We could do Small World, or we could do a light dice game, like Roll Through the Ages, or something in that vein.

So, any interest in any of those things?

Roll Through the Ages intrigues me. I'd be up for that.

Mostly, I'm up for a game that isn't reliant on using images. I'm pretty much good with text and Google Docs, which may be part of the reason why I couldn't get into Mage Knight so well but really enjoyed Tzolk'in, Terra Mystica, and Through the Ages. Even the D&D game I'm in is kind of pushing it.

What if I ran 18AL with something like this for the map? (Note: I'd still need to put in a good bit more work, but I was proof-of-concepting it)

Hi folks.

I'm trying to ease my way back into this - see the "where we talk when it's night" thread for any "where ya been" queries - and am pretty confident with dipping my toe back in the waters with:

Interested to join any 7 Wonders game

Thanks!
