Thanks Dave. A splendid time was had by all.
-
Freaking awesome!!!!
-
The snow board looks so much better. Was awesome at first now even better.
From what I can see a great time was had by all. Masher and Jibba are still alive. Aoi Cobalt - missed playing you this year.
Nice terrain on the foldable table of doom. Everyone else - it would have been alot of fun to be there. See you all on the 16th if you can make it.
-
Looks like you all had a great time.Nice boards too.
-
Looks like you guys had fun! Now i just need to figure out who everyone is :P I have a few guesses but i don't wanna say cuz i'm sure i'm WAY off
-
Hopefully you'll be at next year's event, or we'll see you even sooner.
-
I will start to save now I think.Also start to paint some miniatures too :o.
-
If you can afford the airfare, you can stay with any number of us for free, as we go out of our way to take care of those travelling.
We'd love to have you, and can pick you up at the airport.
-
Does anyone really recover from the Death Fries...
"Hi, I'm Dave..."
(Hi, Dave)
"I'm addicted to Death Fries..."
(So are we, Dave)
"Where's the menu?"
-
Looks like a great time - I'd love to come down for a Talamaniac event one of these days.
-
I wish I could make it out there for one of these shindigs. Looks like a great time...
Keep posting photos, and perhaps, someday, I shall get enough of a bonus to afford the flight out that way.

Hey look, theres Godzilla. Hey wait a sec..... Holy crow its ME! Dear GHOD , Im ugly... :o

Hey guys, in case you don't know, this is Dylan... Aoi Cobalt's nephew. I had an awesome time playing in Talamania III. I am preparing for blood for Talamania IV. Can't wait. This might have to become a bi-yearly thing. lol Anyway, this is some of the pictures I took. I hope this is not overkill.(http://<a href="http://s648.photobucket.com/albums/uu209/craiganddylan/?action-view¤t=Talamania3003.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu209/craiganddylan/Talamania3003.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>)

Dylan, glad to have you around!! Please put your pics in photobucket or some place so they don't appear as a red x to us.
I have to apologize publicly for misleading you in the ways of Chronopia. You can only summon three times in a game with your spellcasters, no matter what army in the book they are from.
I don't think you summoned four, and I don't think it mattered regarding your smashing victories, but it may come up again in future battles. Oh yeah, the training wheels and the gloves are off now, my son. I'm bringin' the pain next year.
I'm very happy you made it, again, and all of us found you to be a pleasure to game with.
Perhaps you can get out this way, or who knows, maybe I'll be in Ohio sometime down the road visiting family and we can get some games in.
All the best,
Joshua Slater

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to meeting you next year at Talamania if not sooner -- Origins for example

My fave is the last one. Great shot of you guys with Thom. I'm glad everyone made it out. Record turnout, and an excellent time had by all.
I'm out the office. Rap with y'all later.
Thanks for posting the pics!!

First up are some pictures from the Chariot Race. This was a really fun game that Dane showed us. He has made some really cool chariots for the various armies.
The winner of the race was the Dwarven chariot controlled by Josh.

Lance, buddy, news flash - ain't none of us on the cover of CQ, SI nor Freelancer of Fortune (though that last one could be FreeLANCEr of Fortune!)
-
Great pics. I will be there next year fo sur.
We did have a Taslamaniaminime last year in the fall.
Hmmm...
Aoi - congrats on recognizing Thom faster this year. That was classic last year. In your defense, you were reading the rules at the time I believe.
-
Okay-those chariots are unspeakably AWESOME!
-
Yes, Veez, and I don't use that word. It was the coolest game to end the event with. Refsland's a genius.
-
Having a system like Thom's to base off of it is easy to look like a genius.
You guys were all top notch and I am going to make every attempt to bust down and see you guys.
You all were a total blast, it reminded me of why I love these games so much, the people...
Thanks to all especially the Mcgee clan for being such outstanding hosts.
Thom and I were talking, and at one point he made a statement that rang very true.
"If all we got out of having Chronopia and Warzone was this great group of people, it was all worth it" paraphrased, but the soul of it is there.
And he is right. Even if we don't hang every weekend, when we do, it is boss!
Be well

Hmmm. It inspires five Words:
Talamania 4 Chariot Modeling Contest!
Two Categories:
Fantasy (based on Chronopia ideally)
Sci Fi (Based on Warzone ideally)
Thoughts anyone?

I would say this -
"In the Army we kill more people, get more tattoos and drink more beer before 9:00 than most people do all day"
Where do I sign, where do I sign?
2000 bonus point if you remember who said that.

I'll just start the new thread.
-
I have Warzone based carwars style rules if you are up to it....
I will have to make a cool trophy for both...
Muuhahahhaha. Silly rabbit, trix are for hookers...
Uh, hold it, ahhh never mind...
Be Well

I remember that game. Looked like fun. I know the mecha-combat game you did for a Warfaire would be a hoot to see again.

Correct!!

From all the pictures it sure looked like a good time, The next time I'm back in that area of the country I'm going to have to meet up with they guys and try to take shot at Dave's infamous Vulcan Army of Death.
-
I'm jealous! The closest thing I've got to that at my house is Conn Con III coming up in the summer. I have a lot more boardgames than minis games, but I seem to fit in a fair amount of measuring and rolling in the day.
Seriously, that looked like a grand time. I wish I lived closer to the NE, but I like the Midwest too much!

Those are great additions, thanks.

The Dr. Evil quote was the funniest!!
-
Didn't see it until you said something.
That is funny.
If Thom is Dr. Evil, who is number two?
and...
"Who does number two work for?" "Who does number two work for?"
-
They even printed "Number Two" on my Talamania namebadge. The shame. The shame!! ;D
-
"All I want is freakin' sharks with freakin' lasers." "Is that so hard?"
-
"All I want is freakin' sharks with freakin' lasers." "Is that so hard?"
I feel the need to point out that, as a Capitol player, Thom has given me "freakin' sharks with freakin' HMG's". :o
I'm still waiting for "freakin' sharks with freakin' lasers" though. ;D
-
Maybe a laser range finder for that nice forward observer you can have on the "sharks"
-
lol
Narcs with laser finder... heh
-
Looks like there was a great group there as always, sorry I missed it. Where did the Castle piece come from? It's a fantasic piece.
-
The castle was something Josh picked up a while ago and lovingly stored in his bedroom where only he could enjoy it.

The castle was something Josh picked up a while ago and lovingly stored in his bedroom where only he could enjoy it.
That sounds bad. Lovingly, bedroom, enjoyed and picked up with a piece of terrain (although beautifully done) all in the same sentence.
-
Sounds like the Amazon summary of a book titled, "The Joy of Terrain".
-
LOL too funny.
-
So what is the secret location of Talamania???
-
No secret, the last three were held at Dave McGees home.
-
lol yeah but what
state/city never mind just saw it on the other thread.
-
I saw this coming a long way off....sigh.
Welcome to the boards dave kufner.
-
Thanks for the welcome. I just need to slog through the UWZ pdf to see what I missed ;)
-
By request from aoi cobalt here are some pictures from the very end of T3 when Thom showed us how to improve your luck.
But before that let me set the scene ... It was the very last game of T3. I was facing of against the Big Kahuna, the almighty Prime our one and only Thom. I was using my trusty Crystal Lotus and Thom brought his Devout to the table. The scene of the battle was the amazing Jungle Board pictured in the UWZ book.
It was a long and hard fight the details of it are lost in time. But the Elves proved victorius in the end. To be honest they kicked some Devout ass. ;) The dice gods were however not kind to Thom which greatly contributed to his downfall.
Here we see some close-ups of the elves as they clear the board of the filthy devout.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/751/cimg3616.jpg)
To appease the spirits Thom decided to make a sacrifice or maybe he just decided to make an example out of this treacherous d20. Grabbing a brick he to quote Jules Winnfield "struck down upon it with great vengeance and furious anger".

The poor victim/traitor
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2821/diekiller.jpg)
-
Gotta love it when you sacrifice a D20 to the gods of war!
-
I hope all the other D20 could see what happened to the traitor. So they will remember next time.
Does it help? If yes I have to do it next time, too. The dice is sometimes the worst enemy ;)
-
In my experience with the subject of smashing D20's, no it does not "help" the next dice rolls. It does "help" with the general feeling of satisfaction that the thing causing the bad dice rolls, i.e. the dice of course, has felt the wrath of vengence deserved of its lack of performance.
The smashing usually is followed by a "pep talk" to all the other dice in attendance that unless performance improves the beatings will continue.
In my humble opinion, smashing dice is a better alternative to throwing them. It gets the point accross of so much better to the other dice watching.
Of course if you talk to your dice you may have other issues in your life than smashing them.
-
And I was going to sacrifice a goat for the solstice. This seems more appropriate!
