Original message:

Anyone would be willing to play Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends.

Board can be managed by Google document.
I'm not sure how to manage card draws .. probably not-playing moderator would be necessary.

Best is 2 player high form game. So if we get 3 players, then we can play 3 games and each player would moderate the game he is not playing. Or 4 people, 2 games, 2 moderators. Anyone interested?

If there is a second game /in. Otherwise /tag

[yed]

If there is a second game /in. Otherwise /tag

We will play at least 2 games so that moderators can play too.
Example for 4 players in:
Game 1: A vs B, moderator C
Game 2: C vs D, moderator A

I have added link to Moderator sheet to the first post .

I have asked someone to upload photo of all tasks and flares. So we will wait 2 more days for him to do it.
If not, it won't be a problem, I have found 19/24 task online and flares are not that commonly played so we have enough for the first games.

We can start as many games as we want, registration deadline: December 03, 2013, 05:59:00 pm

/in.
I'd prefer playing a normal High Form game (without beginner's rules).

I prefer playing without beginner's rules too. But we can pair people who would prefer that.

[Watno]

I'd be willing to mod a game as well btw.

Ideas how to play:

Take a look at board example with pieces. Do you think log in the board sheet bottom is good idea? Plus is shared revision history. Or we can create forum topic for each game and have turn log there. In both variants more descriptive log is possible - using coordinates B5, E8.

At the end of the turn: send PM to opponent, send PM to moderator if you need to draw cards.
With forum topic for each game, this can be there.

Idea of how to moderate: Setup: Fill tasks to board sheet. Send random cards to players by PMs and delete them from moderator sheet. When you are asked by PM for a card(s) from particular deck(s) you send random card(s) back over PM and delete them from moderator sheet. When task is claimed (PM from claimer) fill new task to board sheet.

This is my first forum game so feel free to suggest better ways how to play.

[Watno]

I think I figured out a way to do this without a moderator, except for the initialising of the game:
At the beginning, the moderator shuffles all the decks and posts them in seperate numbered spoilers filled up with _ and in the Courier font, which has constant character length, like this:

Legends Deck:
1-Titan____________
2-Dragon___________
3-some other legend
...

Always keep track of which card is the top card of each deck. At the beginning that would be 1. Whenever you draw cards from a deck, start at that number and look at the corresponding spoilers, then announce which card is now on top (i.e. increase the number by the amount of cards you drew)
When bottom-decking a card, spoiler it in your post with the number after the current bottom card.
If all current top cards are announced in each post or tracked in the spreadsheet log, this should be not too confusing.

I like that.

Anyone has opinion on where should we place the log and how descriptive it should be? Do you all see the whole board and have some space below it for log?

My preference is that the log contains all information to reproduce the game, so that in principle one could restart the game from any point using only the information provided in the log. As no one will probably do this for our games here, I think, it is sufficient to state, which card was played, which figures entered the game, and the positions where the figures are placed.

[yed]

Games:
yed - Qvist
PitrPicko - ghostofmars
Watno - yed
PitrPicko - Qvist
ghostofmars - Watno

If you also want to play two games, post it here. For example we can also start games:
Qvist - PitrPicko
ghostofmars - Watno

So now choose your school (Imperial, Highland or Sylvan) for your game.

I have written a web form which will generate starting hands and decks in form as Watno suggested - no moderator needed. Unfortunately we don't have all the flares and tasks, but I think we have enough for a game. I will collect what I found online and put it into the web form and image.

[Watno]

Why did you set up games for Awaclus but not for me?

How do you plan to get the spoilers out of the web app without accidentally reading them?
I'd be up for a second game btw.

[yed]

Sorry, corrected.

I will ask someone else to do it for my games.

Ok, what schools do you choose?

[Watno]

I think one of the tasks you're missing is most probably "Color Legends"

[Watno]

I'll pick Highland in my game against you, yed.

[yed]

Yes, but I don't have a card text and image for it.

Web form for generating games. (GitHub)

PitrPicko, Qvist or hostofmars: please create a game for us:  Watno (Highlands)- yed (Sylvan)

Better form of this maybe tomorrow.

[yed]

After the games will be created copy clean board and set permissions to write for everybody with link.
I can do that for you if someone don't have Google Account or don't want to do it.

I think it is better to put the log in forum. It will be better for turn notifications. I have removed log lines from board sheet.

When you will be drawing cards write it in red, so that it won't be unnoticed by your oponent:
drawing flare-1.

[Qvist]

Not sure if I've done it correctly, but I created your game for you.

I will take Sylvan for my match.

[PitrPicko]

I'd like to take highlanders
