Good game, DSafe. I knew I wasn't going to go undefeated, so I'm happy to lose my first game to a Swamper. While I am quite happy with what my three players did last night, the game is in no way over. In particular, I'm not looking forward to figuring out how big of a lead I'll need Sunday evening ...
