Council of Elrond

Greetings CDavis7M, Great to hear from you! Gandalf Gene and I are typically available by 2 or 3 PM on Friday (the convention starts at noon on Friday)--I'm on the schedule to run a couple of other events, but Gene and probably others will be available as well. Just let us know when you can make it,...

Greetings All, Am pleased to announce that there will be MECCG at the Strategicon/OrcCon 2019 over the Presidents Day weekend, 15-17 February 2019, at the Hilton Hotel beside the Los Angeles International Airport! Following are the time windows I've reserved for MECCG events, we can be flexible depe...

Greetings rezwits/All, Let's go for Saturday/Sunday, 2-3 March, then. The Little Shop of Magic only has a Pokemon league day that Saturday, I don't see any other releases that weekend, and it's a couple of weeks before the St Patrick's Day and the first couple rounds of the NCAA basketball tourney. ...

Greetings All,

Roger that--I was wondering why hotel bookings were so busy that weekend, lol! I'll look for another date post-Strategicon, perhaps early to mid March. Please stay tuned, thanks.

Greetings All, Jeek Elem, per our conversation off-line, this is roughly halfway between Strategicon in mid-February and another Sacramento event mid-January, so the weekend of 2-3 February 2019 seems to be the best window for us. rezwits, I looked up the release schedules and Pokemon is 4 January, ...

Greetings Chris, Thanks for chiming in! We are definitely going to have MECCG at Strategicon as usual, at the LAX Hilton on Presidents Day the weekend of 15-18 February 2019. I will add a separate thread on that event as soon as I can coordinate a schedule of events with the Strategicon CCG departme...

Greetings rezwits/Jabberwock, I've spoken with Gandalf Gene (from Cupertino, CA), and he and I can commit to a gathering during the weekend of 2-3 February. It's only the two of us so far, but that's more than enough to form a quorum--I imagine that we will arrive Saturday 2 February around lunchtim...

Greetings All, On behalf of rezwits and the Jabberwock, am starting a new thread to discuss a possible upcoming MECCG gathering in Vegas, at the Little Shop of Magic on Flamingo Road. I'm looking at the latter part of January for now--I need to discuss with the scattered members of the California cr...

A great many thanks to the Goblin King for hosting this past weekend’s MECCG gathering at the McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento, CA. The center is a large facility that was part of the flight line operational buildings for the former McClellan AFB, and ConQuest Avalon gaming was located in s...

Goblin King, sounds like a plan, see you there! And Vastor, many thanks!

Greetings Goblin King,

Sounds like a plan! I'll text you when I arrive in town on Friday, 9 Nov--likely around 6:00 or so, as I need to get dinner first. I'm there all day Saturday and most of Sunday as well--I'll coordinate with Gandalf Gene.

Greetings CDavis7M,

I'll be driving up there for the weekend, so I'll have "boots on the ground"--if you are able to fly in and back out the same day, I can certainly provide transport...just let me know!

If not, no worries, we'll be at StrategiCon next February, as usual.

Greetings All, CCG Collector, thanks for your interest in the souped-up CDs--I have to defer to Gandalf Gene as the decks are his, but I will certainly mention it to him. The decks (A/B/C/D) have been quite stable for about 4-5 years now, and I don't think there are more than a half-dozen changes ea...

Greetings Kjeld, Long time no see, and great to hear from you--it would be great if you can make it up to Sacramento second weekend of November! I don't believe we've seen each other since Worlds was in Oakland--and that was 4 years ago! Arda Minion is a very interesting environment, as most of us a...

Will do, Jabberwock, just awaiting the exact events and schedule. Rest assured both Hero Arda and Minion Arda will be on the agenda, plus I'm bringing a plethora of my constructed decks for 1v1 or multi-player.
