I don't mind organizing something.

How many people would be seriously interested in a session in central london?

If it's a small amount, i can think of somewhere very easily, if a lot of people show interest, we'll have to think of a suitable venue...

Definitely me, up to 4 depending on availability.
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. And then it's just fun.

Yes yes yes

I so need my Mage Wars fix now that it has died down locally (typical, I was last in that group to learn it)
I'm even considering learning that online interface

ARE THERE ANY OTHER UK PLATYERS WHO FANCY MEETING UP TO PLAY IN LONDON NEXT MONTH OR SO?

I have created an open group on FB to help to find more people who play Mage Wars in the UK.  Please join and encourage others. There is soooo few people that play this game!!!

I would be willing to come over to London for a couple of games. It's a bit of a journey so it would be good to arrange games with specific players in advance. I can do any weekend in November apart from 23-24.

I would definitely be keen for a Central London day session in the next few months.  I live in Milton Keynes if anyone is around that area for games!

Hello to

jk_selwyn (London)
Rafa1980 (Bristol)
Grubbamatic (London)
Deckbuilder (Brighton)

Anyone else active on the Forum from the UK want to meet up for face to face?
Fentum? (somewhere in Essex?) Or have we lost you to OCTGN?

I can't do 16th weekend and Rafa can't do 23rd

So how about we DEFINITELY BOOK Saturday 30th November?

Finding a pub with an upstairs is tricky
I suggest somewhere in the City which is dead at weekends?

I think there is a London Games Club that meets in the City on weekends
I could research or a local could investigate?

My Magic Club used to meet upstairs in the Florence Nightingale near Waterloo...

We need some logistics options like...

(a) attendance - who is interested
(b) date - availability
(c) venue - where is best for all

Let's get this ball rolling?

If we say the 30th, we have over a month to investigate

And we should all have the new set by then in the UK so should be itching to try out our new builds.

So 30th provisional?

Sorry for not replying sooner. I am free on the 30th.
If you are thinking of the board game group London on Board, two player games aren't encouraged due to the fact they take up a lot of space, the pub is quite small.
However I have gone to a smaller board game group at the Mad Hatter in Waterloo that is always empty, I was hoping this would be available / suitable for everyone.
I'm glad this is getting some interest, hopefully I'll be. catching you all soon :-)

Seems like an age since we played Magewars but loved it when it came out. Will be dipping back into it this month. Me (Chepstow/Bristol) and martyn (Taunton) would prefer to play closer to home but are not against travelling maybe 50 miles or so.
We both enjoy the game for its fun. Dont over think it and definitly dont want to play it uber competitively.

If it is any good to anyone then get in touch. owen8475@gmail.com

I'm afraid you hit the nail on the head there. Best of luck though. Well done for sorting it out.

@jk_selwyn
@grubbamatic
@mumbojumbo

So are the 4 of us committed to meeting at The Mad Hatter, Waterloo Market (I know it, played games there) on the 30th?

So we have a date and a venue. What about format? How long do people want to commit? If we have time, we could do a 3 round round robin? Something like "play 3 different mages, swap cards between books allowed"?

Nothing too competitive as Reef3 said. I am open to other suggestions but it would be nice to test out and face different builds. 90 minute games, that would be 5 hours of Mage Wars including handovers and moving cards between books. And switching books also gets round scouting.

Anyone else interested? If there are odd numbers, I can drop out and play other games there so please feel free to drop by, even for 1 round.
