Keep in mind that if you're not picking a particularly notorious tribe (goblins, elves, zombies, angels, soldiers, merfolk, faeries, and a few others), the chance that a deck you were planning on playing might get blocked out by someone else beating you to playing that tribe by one game is...

Rules thread. My deck isn't quite finished yet (I just need to modify the manabase), but I'll work on that after I post this and I might have a deck ready to go by the time you read this text. I guess because the game hasn't actually started yet, this is sort of a roll call. People that have...

That's actually one of my goals. I mean, if most of the rest of you guys are building decks several games in advance and don't want to be delayed from being able to use your deck for Game 16 because someone else used the same tribe for Game 15, then I guess we'd need to address that. In my case...

Kelgar sighs and descends the chute. Arcttus watches, then asks... "Should I leave the lantern with you?"

A few times, before this was revived and now more recently, we've had the idea brought up of retiring tribes after they're played, but rotating them back in over time. So you wouldn't be able to play the same deck every game, but if you want to revisit a tribe you played several games ago, or if...

Of course, if you're going to be fetching Transcendence, you might be able to fetch other enchantments too. There's always Forsaken Wastes.

The Real Folk Blues - Seatbelts (1998).

This isn't EDH. There won't be any commanders. Just regular free-for-all multiplayer rules, but with the deckbuilding restrictions outlined in the thread Spiderman linked to.

Throg descends the rope ladder, disappearing into the darkness. The humans hesitate to follow his cue. Anton either finds the courage to follow Throg or is still drunk enough not to be afraid. As he disappears from view, the other two merchants look at Dorgath, Carrow, and Kelgar, still unsure.

Don't forget the part where someone inevitably says, "Oops, I forgot to build a deck for this. I'll be ready in a few more days probably." Or something to that effect. I seem to remember that one time we even ended up waiting almost a year for someone, but the details escape my recollection at...

Throg's helm doesn't let him see much farther than the others would be able to see if they were to hold the lantern directly over the chute. The chute darkness and the rope ladder continue beyond the length of his vision.

I wouldn't know. I don't have much access to people from all over the country to test that. I only said that regional variation might explain how easily the Clippy reference in this joke is deduced. You seem to be jumping from that to the conclusion that most of the "target audience" would have...

Not sure how best to explain it if you've never been in the area. The largest metropolitan area on the west coast outside of California is along the Puget Sound. Seattle's the biggest city out here, but directly east on the other shore of a lake is an area that I've heard jokingly referred to as...

Portal's fine (this includes the Three Kingdoms set, which might be of interest), Unglued isn't. I was going to just paste in the set legality note for Vintage and Legacy that would exclude Unglued, but I didn't actually see one on the official banned list pages, even though those sets are of...

Hm, I thought you meant teenagers. I'm in my 20's myself and I remember seeing Clippy in 1997, the year that it first came out. Now, I do basically live in Microsoftland*, and did then. But so did a lot of WotC employees. I'd think more of the lack of recognition would be down to people not...

The party has the following light sources... Lantern (carried by Arcttus, permanent, active), candle (in Throg's pack, inactive, lasts 2D6 turns), Helm of Farseeing (worn by Throg, permanent, only affects wearer, does not emit light).

I don't know about that. Clippy was pretty infamous. People that never used Microsoft Office generally still heard about it, and even if you mean that the "target crowd" would be young, they wouldn't be that young. Maybe young enough not to assume that someone would make an April Fools Day...

I just realized that I was assuming that the table was out-of-date because the list of previously played games was. In actuality, I can't interpret the table at all. Can't make sense of it. If you find it comprehensible, then I'll leave the table up to you. I'll modify the post some more to...

Updated the tribal administration thread with most of a replacement for that thread's front page (first post, whatever). Head on over and see if there are any changes you'd like to see on that. As for getting a new game going finally, I'll begin building a deck soon. New quarter of school...

Note: I got rid of the previous note because it didn't even make sense anymore, now that this thread is its own thing with a sticky and such. As of October 8th, 2013, I've made some minor updates to this first post. The only important part is that goblins, elves, and zombies are banned. Tribal...
