Posted on 29 February 2008 by Christopher E. Otwell


P.J. Melies flies in from Phoenix, AR to join myself and my friends to the PTQ in Denver. In this is a collage of audio bytes from our Playtest Sessions in preparation of this event, as well some pre-event travel discussions. P. J. Melies and Paul Bradford join me in the Car Ride discussions. Everyone else from the Team: Smarter than Broccolli joins in at times.

  2. Christopher E. Otwell Says:

    Thanks for the comments.

    However, I listened to both the website’s player as well as the iTunes downloaded version, and as far as I can tell…. there is no speed issues with this .mp3 file.

    So, I’m curious as too why you seem to think so?

    Chris

    The player on the site plays it way to fast and I can’t make it out, but i tried the download link and it played ok in quicktime

  4. Christopher E. Otwell Says:

    That’s weird… It works fine for me that way.

    In any case, I downloaded a newer beta version of Audacity, so that hopefully I won’t be having the saving as wrong hertz problem any longer, which happens to cause what you seem to be hearing. Hopefully that annoyance goes away.

    Sealed Deck
    • 2+ players
    • Each player needs 1 Tournament pack and 3 booster packs
    • Players simply open their tournament packs and the cards from three additional booster packs and build a deck from the cards they opened. Guidelines require a minimum deck size of 40 cards and allow players to add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their card pools as they like.

    Booster Draft
    • 4-8 players
    • Each player needs 3 booster packs
    • At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again.
      Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.
    Tribal Wars
    • One-third of every deck must be of a single creature type (e.g. "Merfolk" or "Beast")
    • Each deck must contain at least 60 cards, and players may build decks using Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
    • You can use creatures of other creature types, but they do not count towards the "1/3 of single creature type" rule.

    Singleton
    • aka "Highlander"
    • No two cards in a player's deck can share a name unless they're basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests). Players can use Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
