My blighted legions stand ready.

Am I allowed to enter the painting contest?

[Katzu]

Yup, I don't see why not. Not only that, but I think this format should prove to be an awesome challenge for mini-gamers. I'll get the scenarios and rules posted in a minute.

Only bad thing is this might push out the fantasy league, since it's a big deal. Maybe i'll push the fantasy league back for that day so we'll have tables for everyone.

Considering we won't be playing at all on the 26th though, that would be a two-week haitus. I'll have to think about how to handle this one.

[Katzu]

Maybe we do another "retreat" and run stuff at my apartment on the 26th? We'd only have the one big table, but we shouldn't have too much hassle with it (we used it all 3 weeks of Summer Rampage.)
