Arkham Nights 2024 Albuquerque NM

Ettin games ABQ will be hosting Arkham Nights 2024 Nov 23 @ 6pm. Ettin games is located at 8510 Montgomery Blvd NE Ste A1, Albuquerque, NM 87111 PH# (505) 503-6993.

We will be doing the Midwinter Gala for our scenario. The entry fee will be $10, and all participants will receive items from the Arkham Nights 2024 event kit.

I will need to know what character you will be playing for team composition and reddit will be the easiest way for me to keep track. We will be playing the Best Guests variant of Midwinter gala. No taboo list and stand-alone rules for deck building. Difficulty will be determined by the team players before play. There might be a secret surprise for the best team.

When building a deck for a standalone game, an investigator may use higher level cards in his or her deck (so long as they observe the deckbuilding restrictions of the investigator) by counting the total experience of all the higher-level cards used in the deck, and taking additional random basic weaknesses based on the following table:

0-9 experience: 0 additional random basic weaknesses

10-19 experience: 1 additional random basic weakness

20-29 experience: 2 additional random basic weaknesses

30-39 experience: 3 additional random basic weaknesses

40-49 experience: 4 additional random basic weaknesses

A player cannot include 50 or more experience worth of cards in a standalone deck.

Do any LGS in Albuquerque play MTG pauper?

Hi, I am interested in getting into the pauper format, but I don't want to invest time and money into building a deck if I don't have anyone to play with. Do any game stores here in ABQ play pauper? I have been building a couple commander decks and as far as I can tell I shouldn't have trouble finding somewhere where I can play commander, but looking at the FNM search tool I don't see any mentions of pauper.

Horror Trivia tonight at 7 PM!

Hey everyone! Since Halloween is a few days away and we didn’t want to take anything away from that, just wanted to throw out that we are doing some trivia tonight at New Game Plus on Constitution and Wyoming. It begins at 7, venues fee is $5 per person, and we are allowing teams of two.

Even if you don’t participate, come by to check it out! I’ll be here all day, and helping run the shop while my employee Chris runs the trivia.

Hope to see some of you here! ☺️

Could anybody help me or give advice? (I’m 575 but am open to find friends at 505)

I’m looking for more lgbt/gaming friends or just friends in general but I can’t find any way to :( I’m 18 but can’t go to collage yet, (i have to get my GED long story) so I’ve been just trying to find any way of meeting people but I can’t find any, so I’m looking for any kind of help I can get (if it’s important I’m in the bottom left corner of nm)

Any interest in a World of Darkness game? (Vampire or Wraith)

I’ll try one more time. Just checking if there’s anyone interested in a Vampire or Wraith game in Santa Fe. I’m a new Storyteller, so being patient is a must lol. I have 1-2 potential players, but nothing confirmed yet. There would be some discussion beforehand to decide on a game and set limits, pick a time, etc. Will most likely meet at WZKD in the mall.

Anyone interested in getting a Gaslands group going?

It would be fun to meet up to create the cars, and then again to race them and blow them up. I am open to managing the process. Does this interest anyone? If yes, post or DM me and lets get a conversation going.

For context, I'm a conventional mid 40's dude. I don't frequently post on reddit because I don't have drama and my opinions are an old adage. I'm open to playing with any responsible, functional human beings who practice kindness, respect, and honesty :-)

Hi. I've recently started playing Starfleet Battles again. It's a table top strategy game based on Star Trek TOS and TAS. We have a group of 6 people and meet weekly (Saturday afternoons) in Albuquerque. We're looking for others that have played before, or are interested in learning. Post here or message me if you are interested. Thanks!

Join our Albuquerque friends discord server! (link on my profile)

(Not affiliated with subreddit admins) here's the link: https://discord.gg/3tchqZ6y

Most members are in their 20’s/30’s. It’s a supportive, diverse, and inclusive community of people in ABQ. There are members that are straight, gay, bi, trans, men, women, hispanic, black, white, asian, etc, etc. People in the server tend to be into nerdier hobbies like TTRPGs, Gaming, Anime, and etc, but there’s also people going to the gym, raves, and wider range of hobbies. At times we have large server meet-ups where everyone is invited to a single place, but many people also meet weekly in smaller groups. You don’t have to want to meet in person to be a part of the discord, there are people who just want to chat with other people in ABQ. It’s a very supportive place to get things off of your chest, celebrate, ask questions, and bond with other people.

The link is pinned on my profile as well

Can y’all confirm the D&D scene for me?

My wife (cis f) and I (44 mtf) are seriously considering a move near Albuquerque early/mid 2025, from Austin. While we’d be south of town a bit, driving isn’t a big deal.

Is Albuquerque queer/trans friendly kinda town? Is there a vibrant D&D scene?

Arkham Horror 2024 - Ettin Games

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone heard anything about Arkham Horror 2024? I sent an email to Ettin and Brian mentioned,

"We will be going to get the box and will probably have an event for it as well."

Nothing further than that though. I wanted to check if anyone has heard anything.
