Actually after some consideration your idea is somewhat ok Moonizz. I'm not a huge fan of skipping That Guy but it is a long wait. I like having filling out the inventory as a part of the definition aswell to get around having to open arbitrary chests.

I'll post a complete map when I get home.

Why doesn't all dungeons include the "that guy" dungeon? And are you suggesting that there should be no category where you fill inventory and get costumes? A lot of games have 100% definitions based pn collection rate and skip parts of the game that dont coubt towards it. Ittle 1 is an example of that with skipping the halloween dungeon. Others include a bunch of zelda games amongst others.

Since those costumes aren't part of the hut I think my definition fixes that. And the jenny costume shouldnt matter as its a filename thing otherwise its impossible to get all costumes on one file with frogmode and jenny being a thing.

Any category could be done frogmode aswell for additional challenge of course. And yea low% often has that issue.

An "All dungeons" run could be interesting

The obvious categories are Any% and 100%.

Any% is easily defined as "start the raft cutscene".

100% is a bit trickier since you can explore and unlock stuff after the raft cutscene and there's a lot of hidden content. My suggestion is to define it as "Fill out the inventory, costume hut and extras menu and finish with the raft cutscene". This is quite a bit clumsier worded than "open every chest" but since there's a dummy chest and most of the last chests will only have yellow hearts in them they would feel quite arbitrary to collection rate. There is an argument for open every chest though in that this wording would make it so you have to access most of the content but I personally think that seems arbitrary. I'd love some input.

More arbitrary categories could include low%, reverse dungeon order, whatever%. The game is so open that you can run it however you want really. Bingo would probably be amazing if well balanced.

Considering how shit the in-game timer for ittle 1 was can we all just agree to use real time for this game from the beginning?

Please?

Alright so after heavy consideration (remembering I have to post a time and looking at the schedule briefly) I've decided that

TUESDAY 14:00

should be ok to have the event at.

If there's a good reason it shouldn't be there please post here and I'll look into it. If it is during your run or tech shift I'm sorry but there's always someone that's gonna clash :(

@Fatzke Didn't think about the fact that the stream ends on friday so tuesday is probably better than friday.

@Cereth A lot of the newcomers are easier to get at the event.

@oasiz I don't know if it runs from an USB I'm gonna try it sometime this week. Just need to get my hand on a usb drive...

Can I bring and run razer synapse (razer's mouse/keyboard config program) from a USB drive during my run?

I need a certain dpi set as it can't be changed in-game and my laptop has a bit too much input lag to play on comfortably.

So I've been thinking about what time we can have the sealed event.

I'm thinking either wednesday, thursday or friday (Sorry nord) as then I'll have time to teach the game to people who are interested in learning it and will be able to refresh people who need a refresher.

Timewise I'd like the event to start noon-ish and it will take about 5 hours.

If anyone has any special preferences I'll take them into consideration and I'll decide on a final time sometime this coming weekend.

Nice to see that there's interest again this year.

I'll teach you melis. I'll even give you some free cards

I talked to the local game store and apparently they've made a deal to be onsite during esa so anyone looking to buy cards or sleeves for their cards or whatever will be able to do so. They'll also be able to teach people magic. Slightly weird that there's been no info on this but I think it's cool either way.

Depending on power level I can go a number of different way with my EDH generals. I probably wont be playing my Jori En och Kurkesh decks at ESA. Instead I'll throw together some new ones and bring cards to adjust the power to everyone elses :D

EDH! Yes please...

Hello!

I intend to host a sealed deck side event again this year. For anyone interested in that or who doesn't know what that means I'll get to that so keep reading.

Magic has been pretty popular at previous ESAs with both old players and complete beginners and I intend for this ESA to be the same. This year I'll be bringing some forty 30-card sample decks that I can give (for free) to people who want to learn the game. So if you're interested just find me and I'll introduce you and your friends to the game and prepare you if you want to participate in the stuff mentioned further down. I'll probably be bringing my Modern, Legacy and Commander (EDH) decks for any casual play during the event. I also think there is a board-/card-/roleplaying-game store in Växjö and I'll be contacting them to see if they're open during the event if anyone feels like buying some magic stuff from them.

I'll also be bringing my cube for drafting. (http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/43831) Cubedrafting is a way to play the game where you construct a deck out of a predetermined set of cards (a "cube") while 5-7 other players do the same with the same set of cards. This is done by all the players only looking at and choosing cards from small piles that gets passed around the table to all the players. When all the cards have been passed around you build a deck out of the cards you've gotten and you play a small tournament to see who managed to build the best deck. After the drafting and playing is done all the cards are shuffled back into the box they came from and are ready to be drafted again at some other time.

It sounds weird and complicated but it's easier to understand in person and a fun way for new players to learn multiple aspects of the game. So if you're even slightly interested in mtg it's a fun thing to do when the sample decks I bring start getting boring. You don't keep any of the cards used in cube but you also dont need any cards of your own going in which is nice. All the cards are from my personal collection and if you steal any of them I'll be sad :(

Sealed deck tournament side event! This year, again, I'll be hosting a sealed deck tourney. It will be the same kind of thing as previous years but this time we wont be doing it with M15 boosters (rip spectra ward). Instead we will be doing it with the most recent release which at the time will mean Shadows over Innistrad + Eldritch Moon.

For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about, Sealed Deck is a tournament format that is very beginner friendly because you don't need any cards going into the tournament and the decks aren't super strong. The format is played by each player opening 6 brand new booster packs (each containing 15 cards) and building their decks from that pool of cards. The decks built will be 40 card decks including basic lands (basic lands are not in the boosters, I'll be providing those). Depending on how many new players we have in the tournament I might not play in it myself but instead help beginners build their decks and help with rules and stuff during the tourney. After the tournament you get to keep your cards and I'll be bringing enough basic lands that you can keep those and have more as well if you wanna try different colours.

Because the format requires you to open new cards I will be buying and bringing booster boxes for the event. Because of this it will cost 150sek to enter the event. That is the same price I buy them for as I buy boxes containing 36 boosters for 900sek (divided by 6= 6 boosters for 150sek). This also means that I'll need to estimate how many will join in the tourney as I don't want to buy too much. I will be buying a generous ammount as to not run out if more that expected want to join in though and the remaining boosters can be used for drafts and stuff so a few spares is nothing to panic about. This year I plan to have a small prize for the winner of the tourney. Nothing fancy but a fun little trophy of sorts.

So yeah this post is way longer than I intended. I'll clean it up whenever I find something I wanna change and if anyone thinks anything should be changed or added please say so.

Thanks!

Dizzyprime reserving a spot aswell.

Oh, yeah. I'll sit out on that one too :P

@LLCoolDave Yes please!

@Akisto What?

Aww yes! One more and we can play three player EDH. And as said in an earlier post I'll have two beginner decks with me but the more the merrier I guess :D
