In the first round of Black Moon Games‘ Call of Cthulhu draft, Toby fields Crazy Wizards against Tyler’s School for Sorcerers. It’s Hastur, Silver Twilight and Yog-Sothoth against Miskatonic University and Silver Twilight.

Check out the deck lists for both decks. Toby sorted their cards after getting home, so the Crazy Wizards  list is an approximation. Some possible other cards included were Nathan Wick and Erasmus Manor.

I said this during the commentary, but Blood Magician did amazing work in this draft for me. First it gave the edge in many icon struggles, and then it attracted other players’ ire, using up their resources taking out Blood Magician instead of focusing on other areas.

Boarding Man’s Promise

 Skull & Shackles convened this week for what turned out to be the taking of Man’s Promise. We did a bang-up job of securing the sterncastle, as well as repelling a band of grindylows. Dealing with the goons Plugg sent down into the bilges proved more troublesome, but ultimately soluble.

Our GM Mike did a bang-up job with the miniatures, right? He built both the Wormwood and Man’s Promise and painted most of the figures you see — excepting Usidore the Blue, of course.
