Why getting two skills after round 5? Must be a typo.
I guess for the final round (5) each can have up to 6 skills or a combination of 4 to 5 skills/traits.

Is Thrudd as Starplayer really allowed for 100k?
If both teams have him, doesn´t he play for anyone?

Its a typo ... you can get 2 skills after round 5 .... but they won't do you much good as there is no round 6 :lol:

So you'll have 4 to 6 skills for game 5.

Finally ... yes Thrud is only 100k and if two teams have him ... neither team can use him. He's been only 100k to use for the last 2 GenCon Bowls as well.

This time next week, I'll be either still drunk or very hung over and probably giving away rrs b/c of forgetting about the turn marker. :lol:

Can't wait!!!

1 fig to finish, 1 hat to buy, slog through a few days of work and I'm there.

Hope to see you next year Valen. Gencon's a blast, Tom puts on a good tourney, and Indy is really a fun place.

If you arrive a day early to check ou the dealer room ... that by itself will be worth the trip. Its why I give a 2 hour break on Friday in the afternoon and finish the tournament with 3 hours left to shop on Saturday. The tournament is top notch, but that dealer room is a fantasy buff's dream shopping mall.

Don't worry Torg, the Dealer room is so sweet. I get paid on monday, and I'm afraid I'll blow through most if it on my walk through. Wonder if the braless chainmail babes will be there this year. :lol:

Blowing all your money on bra-less chainmail babes doesn't sound bad. :wink:

Don't remember what game she was helping to push. Doesn't really matter does it? I think there were 2 last year actually.

My badge arrived last week, but with school starting today (a week earlier than ever before) I can only be there Saturday. I will have the 2205 Legacy Skaven though and will stop by the BB room early so everyone can see it. It will be great to put faces with the minis.

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!"
