Greetings Vastor, Thanks so much for your post! We're actually quite okay with the rule books, it's just that the interactions among the various cards are sometimes difficult to keep track of--for Dain's Dwarf-Lord staging cards, there are a number of opportunities to tap and recycle cards, for exam...

Greetings All, Just a quick update on the MECCG activities at Gamex 2018 last month. Our attendance is not what it was a few years ago, but we have a very strong core group that attends all of the Strategicons at LAX/Hilton. We have also settled into the routine at the Hilton--there are blocks of ro...

Greetings All, Am pleased to announce that there will be MECCG at the Strategicon/Gateway 2018 over the Labor Day weekend, 1-2 Sept 2018, at the Hilton Hotel beside the Los Angeles International Airport! This is the schedule for MECCG events, though we can be flexible depending on attendance and the...

Greetings All, Am pleased to announce that there will be MECCG at the Gamex 2018 over the Memorial Day weekend, 26-27 May, at the Hilton Hotel beside the Los Angeles International Airport! This is the schedule for MECCG events, though we can be flexible depending on attendance and the players' wishe...

Greetings rezwits, Great to hear that there's at least a possibility of an MECCG gathering in Vegas. It won't match the prestige of that castle back in Europe where they have the Lure every year, but at least it's only a 4-hour drive for me. Besides, I have a hankering for White Castle burgers, and ...

Greetings, Great to hear from you, and we're looking forward to seeing you in September at the Con at the LAX Hilton! In fact, perhaps we need not wait that long--if you are able to find a decent card store that can host a small MECCG gathering in your area, a few of us might be able to make our way...

Greetings All, Am pleased to announce that there will be MECCG at OrcCon 2018 over the Presidents Day weekend, 16-18 February, at LAX Hilton in Los Angeles, California! We will be available for casual play for Hero Arda and virtually all 30/30 formats (Hero, Minion, Fallen Wizard, and Dream Card) bo...

Greetings All, Thanks so much to those who were able to attend our MECCG events this Labor Day weekend! Turnout was regrettably light again, but those of us who were here held some great games with Hero Arda as well as our customized Hero, Minion, Balrog, and even Dream Card decks! I got an opportun...

Greetings rezwits, Just to clarify, as I mentioned earlier, we are *very* relaxed and casual in our playing environment. We've been able to handle everything outside the Dream Cards, even though we've had to refer to the Balrog rules more often than not. :D Even in a casual 1v1 game, we encourage ev...

Greetings rezwits, Please see the updated schedule I posted yesterday. Our turnout is expected to be very light on Saturday--I've kept the 3:00 PM Hero event on the schedule, but we probably won't hold anything until Hero Arda at 7:00 PM. It also takes a long time to check into the hotel--in additio...

Greetings All, I've made a long-overdue correction to our MECCG schedule for the upcoming Labor Day weekend--hope to see you there: (1) Saturday, 2 September: 9:00 AM-12:00 PM - Middle-Earth CCG 101 Introductory session for the Lord of the Rings Middle-Earth CCG! Veterans and beginners alike are wel...

...the 3-day minimum is new/news to me, maybe the LAX hotels have more of a surge than usual for the Labor Day holiday weekend. As much as I'm a fan of the convenience of staying at the Hilton, I'm not a fan of the Hilton--it's an older airport hotel, the food is overpriced, and they don't allow out...

Greetings, 30/30/30 is a minimum, and yes, per the new DC rules you can go to a 4th avatar if you have an 80-card deck. Only a few folks in our play group have the DC cards, so if you have a DC deck put together, that would be great! We're actually a *very* relaxed environment here, and we're more i...

Greetings All, Am pleased to announce that there will be MECCG at Gateway 2017 over the Labor Day weekend, 2-3 September 2017, at LAX Hilton in Los Angeles, California! Following is the tentative schedule for MECCG events that I've submitted to the convention staff, though we can be flexible dependi...
