Well as they say: “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose” or “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Long story short: Venue change to Carleton Curling Club, 115 Rodney Street West, $15 day pass/$20 day pass/$20 vendor table, Cosplay Party Friday moved to Sept 5 6-9PM at Heroes' Beacon. If you're still here, this is the deets: Manager change at SJFPL and they're not really up to have a weekend event for this Sept, maybe one day events in the future. Not sure what that does to future Fog City Comicon Events. SO... this forced a venue change that ISN'T going to cost a crapton of money as IR has always been a smaller, more intimate, not-for-profit event. We had hoped for a free venue at SJFPL so free to you our players, BUT with this last minute change, we had to move to a venue with a reasonable cost and location. To remain not-for-profit means to break even so [...]

IR #23 - New Horizons Sept 7-8, 2024 @ Offline Board Game Cafe New Game Added! Cult Following - The One True Game GM: Megan Munn Cult Following is a creative storycrafting card game. Each round two or three players are selected to be cultists. All the other players are designated as recruits. Cultists choose three ideas from a hand of five cards and creatively bind them together into a ridiculous cult. Recruits draw cards with questions and choose one to ask the cultists to help them figure out which cult to join. Each cultist takes a turn to answer. The recruit then picks their favorite answer and gives that cultist their question card, which represents a new follower that has joined that cult. The first cultist to reach two followers wins the round. Space for 8 players. Adult 16+ (Saturday 7:00PM) Register at https://warhorn.net/events/impossible-realities-24-new-horizons/schedule/agenda

NEW GAME OFFERING! IR#23: New Horizons, Sept 7-8, 2024 @ Offline Board Game Cafe Magic The Gathering Booster Draft GM: Steve Henderson Booster Draft is one of the most played Magic formats at every level of competition and casual play. Together with Sealed Deck, it's the Limited format of choice for most tournaments, including Pro Tours, Pro Tour Qualifiers, and Grand Prix. It's popular among occasional players who want to avoid the pressures of maintaining a collection and a Constructed deck. On the other hand, it's equally popular among serious players who enjoy the depth and challenge of the format. Learning Booster Draft should be a priority for any aspiring Magic player. Booster Draft (or just "Draft") is like Sealed Deck, with the additional preliminary step of drafting the cards. The players—usually eight sitting in a circle—each open a booster pack, pick one card, and pass the pack to the next player, who picks one card and continues to pass it along. Eventually, all of [...]

NEW GAME OFFERING! IR#23: New Horizons, Sept 7-8, 2024 @ Offline Board Game Cafe Board Game Blitz GM: Steve Henderson As the title says, play lots and lots of Board Games and get points and try to come out victorious! Loosely follows the rules via the web link below, but modified slightly. For example, instead of 8 hours, we only do 4. 1. Game Rules. Rules for each game will be straight out of the box. No variations or house rules will be used unless otherwise noted. The tournament organizer will have final say over any rules questions or disputes posed by the players. 2. Learning Games. We do not expect players to be familiar with every game in the game list but knowing them does provide a strategic advantage. If needed, the rules for each game will be explained before starting, and any rules questions during the game will be answered. 3. Time Limits. Players are expected to take their turns in a timely [...]
