So Gnaw is running this one, maybe he'll say what's going on soon then. I'd have thought both games would be similar with just different mods.

Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

Pretty sure the only difference he is planning is that this game will build the map instead of having a preset like mine.

Gnaw told Drek and I yesterday that he would be unavailable for the day, but I expect he'll pop in at some point today!

Yes, Mondays I travel 320 miles round trip to see a specialized trauma therapist. And I’m moving into a new house. And I was given a 2yo Olde English Bulldogge on Sunday (human has cancer and can’t handle the dog in current condition.)

You’ll get info later my today, which means your tomorrow probably. 8 hour time difference.

Please bear with me.

Did everyone else get a PM from Gnaw to pick 2 races?

Can we determine how the map will be setup, how seating/speaker order will work, and what VP we're playing to first?

Yes they did. Maybe.

Hmm. H&M has no moderation privileges here in this sub forum. Need those.

Went with the randomizer again for my picks for both games. My alternate pick for both games was the same race though I think I'll enjoy playing my primary picks if I get them.

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I'm not really too worried about the map, but there's a couple races I wouldn't want to pick if there's a possibility of picking completely blind and ending up with two neighbours that hard-counter them. Likewise, there's some races I wouldn't choose if we're only playing to 10 VP. If Gnaw wants to force the blind choice without any of that info that's fine, just need confirmation.

Yeah picking completely blind seems to eliminate one of your most important strategic issues choices.

I did say what position I get may affect which race I want as there are pros and cons for each segment.
