Actually, I kinda think it might be fun to try, personally-- you'd get free
reign for creating the "magic items" (in this game), you'd get to control
neutral troops (like the goblins, etc), and other game elements like the
Sword of Agot, team goals, etc.
It would give me a chance to not feel so guilty about lawyering or *not*
lawyering people before and during the games, too, which I always find a
difficult line to walk :)

I think we're out of luck until... at the earliest in late May? I think
that's what was mentioned somewhere. At some point I think Shaun actually
brought up "June". But that's *got* to be crazy talk.
As for what game to play, I'm rather indifferent. To tell the truth, I feel
like I should be telling Joe & Jonathan all the little tidbits we've been
coming up with strategy-wise so that we can all re-tool our armies a bit. I
mean, if Jonathan couldn't've used his portal-dealy weapons, he'd just be
sitting there kinda bored (as would Shuan). And Shaun's army needs
re-working anyway (since he only had the one magic user and 1 ballista). But
if people really *do* want to play the exact same game again, I have no
problems with that, either... I've a hankering for some vengence!
