Muchas gracias.  Sounds like a lot of fun.  Do you think a place like WotC would carry it?

I've never heard of Nano-fictionary.  Anyone want to explain that one to me?

This seems like the appropriate thread for this...

I was substituting in an orchestra class today and for the last 15 minutes of class time the kids had time to study for the final.  So I noticed four guys move towards the back and bust out some magic decks.  When I got back there and asked them what kind of final they were studying for they told me that those were their flashcards.  When they learned that I know how to play a little they were pretty excited and invited me to join them (one kid had a spare deck) but I told them I was working.  

As I walked away they commented that subs that know how to play Magic are "the coolest."  But I suppose that had to do with the fact that I let them keep playing...

Music / Re: What are you listening to?

In my car this morning I listened to a CD that my twelve year-old sister made me to commemorate my engagement.  She called it "Loco Love Songs" and it has tracks from the Bee-Gees, Alicia Keys, Good Charlotte, The Beatles, and Brak (to name just a few.)  I don't know how this will affect me.

Books / Re: So...what's everyone reading?

Okay, so I didn't actually read it, but on a very recent road trip I listened Stevenson's Treasure Island and was very surprised.  I guess I didn't expect an old adventure novel to be that good.  It has plot twists and keeps-you-guessing character development like the best of today's stuff.  I highly recommend it.

If you love settlers, then sure.  If you're ambivalent about the game but have it because everyone and their mother secretly play it (at school I ran into scads of people who play settlers, but wouldn't confess it in ordinary conversation for some reason) then invest your dinero in something you're more passionate about.

This is a bit of a digression from the current direction of the thread, but I found it interesting that seafarers was mentioned but nobody said anything about the Cities and Knights expansion.  While I agree that seafarers takes away a little, I found that C&K actually adds.  Not that it makes it better, I guess, but that the C&K option is just as entertaining, while adding a little more complexity.  (Basically more ways to score points/win.  But the ways are fairly integral to the original gist of the game, in my opinion, and I like the addition of the new effects cards.  They aren't development cards, I forget what they're called, you get them from building metropoli, etc.)

My name is Nate Hatfield.  My herd instinct compells me to mention that I graduated from BYU in English teaching and public administration.  I met Dan and Ben and Eric and Jeff while I was there through a lovely little publication called The Leading Edge.  I am currently living in the Seattle area, but will be relocating to the Wasatch Front in August.  Why, you ask?  I am currently engaged to be married, and my fiancee has two years of school left.  Guess where she goes to school!  So while both of us are  from WA and we both agree we'd rather be on the coast, we also decided that it's important for her to finish her degree (in theater education and dance) and transferring would set us too far back.

I am looking for a teaching job in Utah right now.  Preferably in a middle school or junior high.  After years I have finally decided that I want to teach English and social studies for a living.  

I also like to write, but don't do it very often.  I am a novice RPGer but love it.  Movies are great but I don't get around to seeing them very often.  Current favorite author: Philip K. Dick.
