Hi,

Many thanks to Sean [Big Bad Harve] for organizing, and fanning the flame of OverPower in the Toronto area. Great seeing old and new players alike. Doing OverPower for Fleer/Skybox was one of the most fun things I have ever done in my life, brought back tons of memories.

I played Lex Luthor/Black King/Donald P/Batman Det[R] just to show that an Intellect team using a Holo Hero was quite playable. I switched to Hellfire/Mr Fantastic vs. Any Heroes, since the Draw 3 tends to be more useful than the Sting Operation pitch all Intellect Icons. Also gave me an excuse to do a really bad Christian Bale impersonation: "Stop moving that damn lightstand while I'm trying to make an attack! Can't you see I'm working here! All I need is some small minded geek while I'm trying to launch an attack!" <g>

For me the sad part is Marvel never knew what a great game they had, and it's potential. Even after 15 years, new strategies and deck designs still pop up, and new generation of gamers is discovering it.

Look forward to Toronto #3. Great to get some Buffalo, and other American players up!

Great pictures as always Jack!

The turnout was pretty solid at 15, though I'd still like to think we can do 20 for the next one if we get the people from buffalo to show up.

The next one will have prizes!

I have a spare Beyonder and holoheroes up for grabs for the top player(s). Full details TBA, but the date will definitely be on Saturday April 30th.

People actually have spare Beyonders?  I haven't even seen one on ebay recently.  Woe to the days when I used to have a stack of 25.   :'(

I think you're joking, but I might plan that exact trip...

And you'd be more than welcome at our event! The more people come the better the prizes I can offer up!

It about a 3 or 4 day drive... or 40 hours if you go non-stop!  ;D  Come with a carload of people and you can all take turns! Besides, there's lots to do in Toronto in addition to our OverPower match, good place for a vacation.

And, by the way, what are you doing up at 6:30 am!?!?!  Don't you California types sleep until noon before hitting the surf?  :P

I'll try to convince my brother and cousin to arrive on time for April's meetup. The 30th seems like a better day for the meet up, I'll have more time to prepare my decks and strategies after my finals.

Road trip is the only way to do it! and if it was gonna happen, you can bet I would at least be bringing my 2 brothers!

That's funny! I live about 7 hours from the nearest surf-worthy beach! I'm way up at the top end of the Sacramento Valley. If you drive an hour West, North, or East, you'll hit mountains on all sides.

Seriously, I had a dentist appt so I had to get to work early. I hate getting to work early  :'(

Just hitting the bong that early, sir. And I would love to come to your event and get some free holo-heros, but a 3-4 day drive is out of the question for me, although if ncandelorra is driving, pick me up in San Francisco, please!

Free holohero, eh? You're that confident in your abilities?  ;D  I say 'bring it on!'  I'm sure they can fit one more into the car...  ;)

For Real? Coming from the same dude i beat up on overpoweronlne when you were using the marvels and I wasn't? How about we save me the trouble of a drive and do a best 2 out of 3 for a batman avenger on OPOnline? Ill even let you use the Marvels' again. I just hope you really have the B:A to put up. I definetly do, and its my only copy, thats how confident I am in MY abilities. You will reply to me if YOU are confident in YOUR abilities, sir.  ;)

Online, no. I want to look into your eyes as I beat your best team into a whimpering pile of jelly.   ;D   After you go undefeated in the tournament, of course, because you're THAT good. In fact, I may offer a 2nd holo hero to you or anyone else who DOES go undefeated.

But if you come to Toronto, we can have our grudge match above and beyond the tournament.

See you in April!  :-*
