September Ichinomiya Underworlds Day: 9/9
Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2023 10:23 am
A quick thread to remind folks about September's Underworlds meetup.
We meet monthly, generally on the 2nd Saturday of the month, at the Ichinomiya Sports Bunka Center, less than a 10-minute walk from Ichinomiya station, plus the venue has parking if you're a car person. We have the room from 9 to 4, and the cost is 500 yen for the day (provided I actually remember to ask people to pay). September will be Saturday the 9th, in the tatami rooms up on the 3rd floor. (To help with signposting: The bulletin board in the lobby lists us as ボードゲームの会 and the rooms are called 日本間 in Japanese.) Drop-ins are welcome, and if you're a lapsed or curious player just let me know and I can very very easily loan you a warband and deck to see how the game plays.
Play is about 70% Rivals / 30% Nemesis (we're slowly but surely edging into the latter, but we have new-to-the-game members joining and casual members dropping in and out fairly regularly). We mostly play in Japanese, but everyone is extremely chill about language barriers.
I also update the group's twitter (at ichinomiya underscore whu) with the schedule each month if that's your preferred online info-getting method.
September I'll be continuing my "play every warband in order" thing, finishing up Direchasm with the Wet Elves (probably just Rivals) and getting into the starter set with the Storm of Celestus (probably Nemesis with the new objective-focused Prophecy deck, which seems like it'll be a good fit). And I reckon I'll still bring along my Seismic Shock Vampires too, since they've been fun to play.
