Ambassador Report - July 2002
Region: Ronara - West Texas
Ambassador: Matt Clouser
1. THE STATE OF GAMING IN MY AREA:
Retailer Scene: No change here, we're still holding at two game stores in our area with one that supports Decipher products and activities.
CCG Scene:
A slow month for ST:CCG and LOTR:TCG - both myself and the local Rider have been busy with vacation/family committments.
STCCG: With myself and several regular players on vacation, it has been a slow month with the only activity our Satuday gaming day. Our level of activity should pick up next month.
LOTR: Interest in LOTR remains high, however like Trek, the activity is low with the local Ranger tied up with family committments.
SW/YD: Dead.
Jedi Knights - The local resurgance of interest in Jedi Knights has waned a bit - I've only seen a couple of games played this month.
Magic: Magic is still popular here, with small (6-8 player) theme tournaments being played most weekends.
Other: Regular gaming sessions for Warhammer and AD&D have picked up recently.
2. WHAT I'VE DONE "FOR LOVE OF THE GAME" ....
During a family vacation to Ames, Iowa this month, I made time to visit with Pam Covell (Ambassador for Ames) and her players one evening. I had a real nice visit with Pam, her husband Chris, and several of the local STCCG and LOTR players. They had a 3-player STCCG game and several LOTR games going on when I got there - and Pam and I managed to sneak in a game. I won't go into to many details, except to say that when you drive 1000 miles to play a game with a fellow ambassador, make sure you bring along the right dilemma combos :/
Tournaments: None this month - the tournament we had scheduled for July 27th had to be bumped back into August due to a scheduling mix-up.
Tournament Directors: Three santioned TD's - Jerry Jackson, Grant Woodring and myself.
Demos: No formal demos done this month.
3. PROMOTIONAL PLANS FOR NEXT MONTH.
Will continue to host our Saturday afternoon gaming sessions and as always, I'll have Warp Speed compatable demo decks for most affiliations with me.
4. UPCOMING ACTIVITIES:
Grant Woodring is hosting a constructed deck tournament on 3 August.
