Just in Time
This past playtest made some great progress, so spend the last couple days working on updating the bits for my prototype. Getting ready to send them all off to my local Staples to have them print it for me. Here's the new board:
Mostly the same, though did add a player aid, a simple penalty system for when you fail a task. Also put circles all over the place so I have plenty of room for testing various ways to countdown to the end game.
Next up: Updated the timeline cards and added some job cards:
The job cards are designed to add a 2nd color of disc to collect toward points, but that remain hidden info until the game ends. Also optimized the location tiles and task chits:
The location tiles now have circles equal to the action point cost to use the effect. Upgrading the building places a disc over the circle, reducing the cost of the effect. As for the tasks, I've removed the "1 past to 2 future" bits as now you must be on the same day as the task to complete it or use a special effect that lets you be within 1 day.
Next playtest session is Wednesday evening, hopefully it goes well 
MACE West
MACE West is March 30th - April 1st in Hickory this year, which is pretty close to me, so I'll be attending. Already got the hotel booked.
Got up with the con organizer and will be demoing both Just in Time and Nightfall on Saturday, then will be running a Nightfall tournament Saturday night. They have the full schedule on their OGRe page.
Wedding Photography
My sis-in-law got married this past Saturday (woot) to a pretty cool family (who wants to learn The Settlers of Catan, double woot). She let me use her very nice camera (Nikon SLR) of which type I've had the pleasure to use before, so was excited to get to play with one again. I only took around 500 shots...
Hopefully they turn out good, would hate to have her look through them all for just a dozen good shots 
Light Gaming
Haven't gotten to play a whole lot the last few days, though I did get to play a few games of Coloretto, a game of Hive with my recently acquired ladybug and finally got to try out Eaten By Zombies!. Still enjoying Coloretto as a nice filler and Hive is pretty much the only abstract I still play, though I'd definitely pick back up Go if I ever ended up wanting to pursue a lifestyle game. Eaten by Zombies was pretty simple to pick up and play, though I'm fairly certain that we all did a terrible job as we saw 8 damage turns multiple times, game might have lasted 5-6 rounds...
