Yeah, something unsanctioned on Friday would be welcome after the stress of
a "serious" tournament. Succubus Club (that's the deck-tradey one, right)
seems particularly appropos, given the number of fun/new/wacky decks that
should be available at the NAC.

Otherwise, all those other suggestions sound mighty fine, mighty fine.

What about Sunday night? Any possibility there?

Count me in to help as necessary... will you have a laptop for the Archon?

Duffin's supposed to be there, and he has a long history of being
manipulated into running events... we can most likely get something
together.

Hell yes! Most likely both Fletcher and I will play in most/all of
these.

Sealed deck with what? Whatever's available, TBD? Also, what's "Toy
Chest Test" format?

Yeah, whatever we have on hand. I'm waiting to hear back from the
Lasombra to see what sets he will have available since we will be
getting the cards for the two limited events through him.

The complete rules for toy chest test are available here:
http://thelasombra.com/variants/toychest.txt

The basic idea is that you have a beginning, middle, and end game deck
built from 20-30 cards. and you can switch between them as a master
phase action during game play.

I've gotten enough of a response that I've put these on the calendar,
as long as at least 8 players show up for them they we will play these
as sanctioned (except for Friday's fun one) events.

Remember that 3rd Edition will not be tournament legal until Wednesday
the 4th for constructed play - so for Monday's constructed event you
cannot use any cards (even reprints) with the third edition symbol.

And I'm still taking suggestions for the sets we pull from for tuesday
and thursday's draft/sealed events (all assuming product will be
available)...
