Melissa Midcap’s Court in the Act party

“Hey! We played Court in the Act July 2017! Some of our players really go all-out on their costuming! We love it!!
For our duels, instead of rock/paper/scissors, we try to find something that fits into the theme of the game. We allowed the players to pose with swords for pictures (if that was their character’s weapon), but then decided the outcome with chess pieces. A chess board was set as part of the venue. The bottoms of the chess pieces had tiny pieces of post-it notes attached to the bottom, which were numbered. The dueling parties would step up to opposite sides of the board and when told to do so would each lift a piece of their choice. Higher number won the duel.
We run a game about twice a year. We have a few seasoned veterans who play with us every time, and also have some who have never played before. And never has it happened that everyone already knows each other, so people always make new friends! It’s a nice mix and makes for a great evening. Congratulations to your writers and everyone else who works on these!”
