Dang It Dan 13202 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I am a bit premature with this, but there has been some discussion about adding a King of Kaboom category at The Ides of March. Let me say that NOTHING has been decided and I am acting alone with this post but it may be helpful to know who(m) would be interested. I "think" that if there was enough participation they would add it, but obviously they would need an indication. So if you like to shoot big bullets with lots of fire and smoke, now is the time to speak up. The rules for King of Kaboom would be the same that were used at Dark Days on the Santa Fe.
