MtG
I'll also post any game-related activity, like building a new deck for Magic the Gathering.
On October 30, I went for a bike ride with my son to the local card store to buy some Return to Ravnica boosters, but they were sold out. Oh well, it was still a very nice bike ride!
I also started building a new deck that focuses on -1/-1 counters (on my creatures) and ways to benefit from those.
Your new creature deck
With the new deck of the concept of -1 / -1. Is this a deck connected to MtG or a new game with the game mechanic as of MtG? If you would like some help with your ideas?
MtG decks
Hi Stormyknight. The deck is a MtG deck. I'm not going to try to invent any new CCG's - I love MtG, Jyhad, and NetRunner (I guess that makes me a Richard Garfield fan), but I think it's just too difficult now to break in to the CCG market without serious marketing (or media) backup.
The -1/-1 counter theme in MtG is pretty straightforward - just put in lots of creatures and effects that remove (or move) them: Quillspike, Fate Transfer, etc. I finished it up a week ago and it works pretty well.
Two other decks I've built recently: a quick blue/black deck with lots of small black creatures and lots of counterspells, plus card drawing; and a blue/red split deck with only Islands (ever card is blue and red, or blue only).
If you play MtG a lot, feel free to post some theme decks you've built. I have about 30 active play decks, and I'm always looking for new themes to try out.

Delayed update
I forgot to post my last few game sessions...
My 2 brothers and I get together every few weeks to play a boardgame, and one time out of two it's Twilight Imperium (3rd Edition + expansions). This really is an amazing game. We usually have to split it into two game nights (about 3 hours each), although occasionally it spans 3 weeks. Our current game started Nov 1st, second session Nov 6, and we're finishing it up tonight. My older brother and I are are in a close race to win, with me slightly ahead, but I realized at the end of the last session that I made a mistake on my Secret Objective card and so 2 VP's don't count. I haven't told him yet but I'm going 'fess up tonight. That'll make his day, lol.
My younger son and his friend and I played Castle Panic (with our supplementary boss's) on Nov 1 (the kids had the day off from school). I guess I got a lot of gaming in that week!

MtG decks
I have played several times but not enough to build a deck. I had bought the cards for art work collection and for the creature names. I also only have this years big box collections. Two of them. The box houses 285 cards each. And my nephew gave me 60 cards before I bought those two boxes. If I could figure out how to build a deck, I'll let ya know. Hehe. More later.
HeroScape
The kids decided to get out the HeroScape boxes this past week. I always enjoy creating the landscape. We currently have a 3-player game going, and I had forgotten how quickly the armies engage each other. Nice fast-paced game. We're playing a couple of turns before school each morning.
