Fellow Duelers...you had me worried! For the first time in 12 years, we actually had to postpone a Duel because we didn't have enough tributes volunteer for duty!!! I guess the Friday after Easter was a bad move - I'll remember that for next year!
But fear not - we're back at it this Friday with twelve excited Duelers, ready to listen to the song "Duel of the Fates" on repeat until only one Dueler is left standing! That level of mental torture is exquisite, though likely short-lived as we're playing the Trash Compactor board, a notoriously shorter Duel environment thanks to the walls that keep closing in throughout the game, crushing characters to death, not to mention the hungry dianoga randomly pulling combatants under water.

MEET THE DUELERS:
Curtis - nobody is riding higher than Curtis, who won last month's Imperial March with the psycho clanker IG-88!
Eric - folks tend to be disappointed when they draw a double-minor character deck, but Eric doesn't let that slow him down. He nearly won the Imperial March, finishing in second place with the pyscho clanker Q9-0! (Our league might have a psycho clanker problem...)
Grant - his last three Duels have been second place, third place, and second place. That last one was with the Wampa during the A New Hope Duel.
James - James will kindly avoid playing Sith Apprentice Anakin again anytime soon. He's the only Dueler to use that character, but has finished in ninth place both times.
Jonah - our super-sub is back at the table. He had a nice run at last month's Imperial March, finishing in fifth place with Jod Na Nawood.
Mark - Mark is currently the sixth ranked Dueler in the league with a perfect 6 average finish. He wouldn't mind busting that symmetry up with a top five (or better!) finish at Duel of the Fates.
Miles - it's been a few years since Miles debuted with his one and only career 12-way, but the plucky high schooler is a singles tournament veteran and league fanboy.
Nayshaun - the recently-turned professional has three top five finishes in his last four duels, including a near victory at the Valentine's Duel, where he finished in third with the Grand Inquisitor.
Riley B. - the retired professional might be seeking vengeance after we destroyed half of his 3D printed figures at the singles tournament test Duel last month. We're still so sorry Riley!!!
Riley E. - Baylor Bound and ready to Duel. Riley is hoping to rebound after a disappointing 11th place finish with Plo Koon last month on the Conveyex Train.
Rob - this is pretty gross, but Rob has seven top-three finishes in his last eight Duels. He got close to winning last month's Imperial March before landing in third place with Beckett.
Sam - you can take the Dueler out of Waco, but not the willingness to drive back to Waco out of the Dueler! Thanks again to Sam, who is helping us reach quorum Friday night!
MEET THE CHARACTERS:
Here are the characters doing battle in the claustrophobic Trash Compactor...
Egad! Those are some bigtime characters throwing down. Friday - 7PM - NV Fine Arts Studio is when and where it's happening. Swing on by and watch! We'll be in the room bumping Duel of the Fates on blast all night...
PEW PEW!
