I agree with Jared on this. Our event was a blast and our guys now want to start doing something each month with getting together in the week just to get together and play.
I agree with some of what has been said here but we really need to move this in front of Decipher before we can go any further with the PC side of it. This has to be done.
I have not figured out what all we need to do for the group but that is step 1.
Before we can present step 1 to Decipher we have to set up what we plan on doing.
This is what I propose.
1st: Setting up a what we considered to be the standard playing environment. I suggest using just 1-10 with Reflections being playable with the X-List that was in place when 10 was released.
This period of time in the game is when the most people played and after polling many players this was #1. You can as a play group do bigger events but for Worlds it would be this setup.
2nd: We must be considered a Non Profit. This lets Decipher write off any help they give us as a tax write off. It lets companies that donate time and money as something they can write off. We need this to help our organization.
3rd: Have a website that people will visit to know what is going on with the game. We have to build this from the ground up. We need somewhere where people can go to get information about the game and what is happening and this is where it is at. We will also have an ad for Fight Klub/Decipher on the front page to help them out as well.
4th. We will have a vote on where worlds events will be played. We will charge money for State events where people can win byes into Day 2 of Worlds, we will hold regional and national events to also get these byes. We will start out small with this but hopefully have it grow as player groups and more events are being run.
5th. I know everyone wants to talk about Virtual sets. I just don't see this being something we need right away. When new players come back they will not know these cards and I'm almost 100% sure that most will not want to use them right away. I suggest that we do not put out anything for at least 6 months even up to a year. We set up a group of playtesters that will look at doing a V set for each block that will be an Extended Edition for each movie. These will be cards that help expand the environment but are not necessary to play and something that can help enhance events. If these are successful, we will move into a V set for each of the current expansions 1-8 and 10.
6th. Set up different areas on the website. Design, Marketing and so forth as has been suggested recently by a poster that laid out what each of them would do.
7th. One person in charge with a lot of people that can help and also veto bad ideas and help direct the way that the game is going.
8th: I think we need a basic starter we can give out to people to get them to start playing, so two starters actually.
9th: A Cube where players have a cube that they can play with, if you haven't played cube in Magic or SW before, it is a blast and something that anyone can play in, lots of fun and a
goo way to get people back into the game.
That are my basics to help the game get going and a start of what I think we need to move it to Decipher and present a plan that will work.
