Getting the Band Back Together

[Jan Malina]

Hi everyone,

It’s been a very long time and I hope everyone has been keeping well. I wanted to see if anyone was interested in some Shadowfist. I was thinking middle/end of next month. I recently moved, so could offer up space to play there (Downing St) or we could meet at any of the old spots. Anyway, if anyone is interested, get in touch and we can coordinate an exact time and place.

[Jason Robinette]

I was just looking at my cards yesterday,  and thinking about it. 

I live in Central NJ now,  but come into the city 2-3 days a month.

My goodness, this game has the longest tail in history…

Oddly enough, I *also* had occasion to dig out a small set of playable decks the other day. I could do an afternoon or evening of nostalgic ‘Fist some time. :)

Since I now live in Charlotte, NC, I am unlikely to make it up to NYC for this, but it makes me very happy that it’s happening. Have fun, y'all!

Not to replace a potential NYC gathering, but... I have a large play space and can host 20+ players (I have tables/chairs, etc.) so we could organize some Saturday afternoon gathering at some point :)

Great to see people chime in.  Given some people would be commuting in, does a weekend make more sense?  As I said, I'd be happy to host and there should be plenty of chairs and table space.  I could make sure we have some snacks and drinks on hand as well.  I'm happy to do whatever works best for the most people.

Might be able to hop in, depending on the where and when.  I work in NYC so that is easiest for on a weeknight.

Checking in on this. I could play this weekend.

Also, what's a good place to plan this over chat? Discord?

I think the main question is if we do weekend or weekday.  Maybe we keep a tally and then pick a day?:

Weekend

Darren 

Weekday

Bruce

Either

Jan

It would be great if we can get some old regulars (CCed for an extra nudge) involved too.

I might possibly be interested, but all my cards are in deep storage. I'd need to borrow a deck (which contains no post empire of evil cards) in order to play.

Don't schedule for me, but I might show up. (Though, due to the plague times, I don't have many ongoing social commitments.)

[Jan Malina]

Ah good, I have no post Empire of Evil cards, so you can borrow one of my decks.  You have been penciled in.

No post-EoE for a reason, or just because of familiarity with the sets up until that point?

(How do we feel about people using post-EoE stuff in general?)

I'm interested, I think a weeknight might be better, but it depends on the weeknight, and I'd need to plan it at least a week in advance.

I'm in, but only on weekends (I get up at 4:30am for work so weekdays are out). I'll be seeing Jason at WGG Con so this weekend is out for me.

Seems like there are more weekend requiring folks and people could use some advance notice.  How does Sunday the 18th sound for everyone?  We could gather somewhere in Manhattan, which seems reasonably central, around 11:00 or so and play until people feel like leaving.

Are people still wanting this to happen on Sunday?  There was very limited response.  I'm still fine to host (49 Downing St #3A - NY, NY), if people are down to play.  Let me know and hope everything has an excellent weekend.

I'm not making it, but there really should be an agreement covid testing and masking.

Good point, Julian. For my part, I don't plan attend without a mandatory mask policy. I do have extra tests I can bring, though.

I'm fine doing whatever people are comfortable with.  I actually just had Covid a month ago and of course am vaccinated (not including the most updated shot).

[Julian Lighton]

Were I setting policy, and I'm not, I'd say:

Test day of. Even if you're testing negative, if you've got cold-like symptoms, don't come.

If meeting in somebody's house, masks aren't needed inside. (This is what I do.) If anyone requests masks, everyone masks.

If meeting in a public space, masks all the time. Eating inside strongly discouraged.

It's too bad fist is such a terrible outdoors game.

[Joshua Kronengold]

I'd say hold off a bit if you want more people Having a mask/test (nypl gives out two free tests per person per visit) policy and a bit more lead time would give people more of a chance to get their ducks in a row.

I got a positive general response from a friend I was thinking of inviting, but since I forgot how soon it was it's too close to invite them now, likely, and I think this weekend is too busy for me.

[Jason Robinette]

I'm all for an abundance of caution, all things considered.  Masks could also make Jedi Mind Tricks harder/easier, I suppose. ;)

So it seems this isn’t happening due to lack of interest.  I’m done trying to put something together, but if anyone else wants to take a crack at it, you can likely count me in assuming I’m in town when it happens.

So, I've gotten an email from Earl Miles; apparently, while the -rights-
holders have vanished into the swamp and basically done nothing, the
existing fan communities have come out with one set and are set to come
out with another.

Is anyone interested in getting new physical cards (of either or both
sets)? I have -no- idea of the quality (or lack of same) of such cards,
but I admit the idea is intriguing, particularly if there was interest
in getting together a few times to play with such new toys.

I believe one can find one of the new sets, A Better Tomorrow (from
2023) online; I'm not sure about the newer set, Rainforest Rumble.

[Jan Malina]

I'm probably asking for disappointment, but would anyone be up for a Shadowfist get together towards the end of this month?  I'm open to day/time as well as location.  I'm happy to offer up my space, which has tables and chairs for eight, but am fine with anything.  Is anyone interested and if so, what times/days would work best for the most folks?

If it matters, I don't have any cards after the game went to a fixed rarity format (including the fan cards), but don't care if you do play with those cards.  I'm also fine doing draft, but I only have one box of Six Guns, so other people would need to bring product to make that work.

Hope everyone has been well.

I'm in NJ but interested depending on weekend.

I'm not averse, depending on timing. Nothing too expensive (I'm between
jobs; anyone know someone hiring a programmer, ideally someone who cares
more about harder to learn skills than languages, since I've done perl
for most of my career but can become productive in other languages
really fast and am currently learning scala), but I still have most of
my collection, including a fair number of draftable boxes (although not
Chris's foundation collection, which would be really helpful for being
able to do draft).

[Evan]

I would be open to getting together at some point at the end of this month.
The 3 dates that I definitely cannot do are N May 21, 22, & 23 because of the Shavuot holiday.
I also need evenings.
I will be looking forward to this if we can put it together.

Nothing too expensive (I'm between jobs; anyone know someone hiring a programmer, ideally someone who cares more about harder to learn skills than languages, since I've done perl for most of my career but can become productive in other languages really fast and am currently learning scala), but I still have most of my collection, including a fair number of draftable boxes (although not Chris's foundation collection, which would be really helpful for being able to do draft).
