I don't think it was the Skeletons so much as it was those 4 big piles of toilet paper they had with them.  |

Well it was a brutal tourney and I had fun! I played Cyberhare in the last two games and they were complete opposites (I lost to him in game 4 but everyone else tied/didn't win by enough which allowed my earlier 3 wins to hold up and get me into finals.)
My first game I couldn't do anything right...but 2nd game I destroyed the Amazons. They are my nemesis and the Scarlet Mist will forever be the Desert Kings SWORN ENEMIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Hey!
Great times in Beantown! I really had a blast and I am looking forward to my next tourney!
I'm glad that my only loss came to the hand of the Champion, but who knows what could have happened if that damn Hobgoblin didn't fumbled his pass for a would-be 1-0 lead... Oh well!
Thanks to Rob for this great opportunity to meet new friends. I really enjoyed my weekend! So did Chris, our newest NAF member in Montreal!

LOL!!! Well i'm still trying to make it there, but I don't know if Khemri would be good in a star player environment. --Zara, Luthor and Hthark would be expected contestants.

D'oh. Kent reminded me to remind you at about the three hour point into our drive home... figured it was a little too late by then!
I can mail stuff to people just as easy. LMK. |

Rob-
Great job!!! Thanks for organizing a great event and getting me hooked on this tourney thing. Hopefully with this experience under my belt, I won't be such a push-over next time!!!! 
-Rob
Lesson #1...Do not field a tournament team with only strength 3 or less guys. Speed kills, but Mummies/Minotaurs/Rat Ogres/Bull Centaurs, etc. ... They kill faster!!!  |

All right, my pics are up.
First here s a thumbnails page. Click thumbails to see larger web friendly versions.

This link has the original high res images. If you click Toggle Display and view them all at once load times will be slow even on broadband.

I apologize if I didn t get you or your team. I tended to get mostly pics of my game and those around me. And for the record Old Man Monkey has the only group shots.
Enjoy. |

While I m posting and monopolizing this forum. I ll bring up another nominally related issue.
Kent and I spoke to a number of you about a Harrisburg Tournament. While we still plan on doing that (Jan-Feb time frame). In the intirim I have been asked to run the BloodBowl tournament at the Baltimore Grand Tournament Nov 19-21. I am probably going to accept.
First, who would be interested/possibly able to attend?
Second, Brian (or any NAF official) could you email me concerning what I would need to do to have the tourney NAF sanctioned.
My email is {my user id} at {my user id} dot com
Thanks in advance. |

OK, group shot before long sleep...:
And Bampf, I think a tourney in the PA snow would be great - go for it! |

So Kent was still thinking about me 3 hours later huh?... I thought he was a little too grabby in that paired photo shoot.
Great pics BTW (you too OMM). I'm working on mine, I'll have links up soon. |

Great pics Jeremy, thanks for posting them! Sorry to hear about Kent's unwanted nocturnal advances. 
Thanks to Jim for posting the group shot as well 
Rob, glad to hear you are hooked! That's what happened to me back when I went to the Death Bowl in Montreal as my first tournament so I'll take that as high praise |

Great tourney Rob. A good start to a new annual Boston event.
I'm entering the new NAF members now so the results can be entered soon. |
