Hi Donal, good to know. I sensed I was right when I said "I'm probably wrong".

Wow. Before Essen. That's impressive.

Lots of months have bank holidays. I thought part of the reason Gaelcon was set for Oct was for people that cannot travel to Essen (I'm probably wrong), which of course means that there would be lots of gamers, gamers that also absolutely love board games, not able to go Gaelcon even if they would love to go.

But here is the discussion thread:

It has been running from before Essen exploded in popularity. I think it is because it was the first bank holiday after university starts giving time to clubs and societies to ramp up membership and go to the con.

I'm a simple person so just today I was remembering the group skill check mechanic in 5E D&D and was delighted by the memory. I feel like a lot of games don't have good rules for "at least 2 people are doing the same thing at the same time".

Last year I did not unload nearly enough games because I ended up trading 15 in the math trade (where usually it's like 2-3) instead of selling them! 🫠 I might not even participate this time; we'll see.

What if it was Skarka?

Then it would be pitchforks and torches... forget the grocery line...

I tried it already and honestly it wasn’t as efficient
Too much of extra work, less insight and control.

Will there be a math trade this year?

Should be. I delayed VFM start so that Math trade could start, but I do not run the math trade.

As of now, it looks like the AtlasRealms one is the only one. Bushaaya, the same person who organized last year's math trade, moved platforms this year. There was an earlier discussion over gamers not wanting 2x concurrent math trades, as it would lead to less trades/participation overall. I say we give it a chance this year, and if we all feel strongly one way or the other we can use that info to make a platform decision for next year.

Cypherco? The defunct money app? "Today's balance" on an MSPaint-looking jpg is hardly proof of anything.
