Garycon II boardgaming events

OOH! OOH! OOH! (My Horschack impersonation)
Now I gotta go look for my copy of "Succession Wars."

 

Speaking of Starfleet Battles, has anyone ever done the Babylon 5 ship combat game? I used to know a guy that ran it and had some gorgeous painted ships, but I never played. It always looked good, though.

 

From the sound of things, I had better bring CircMax with me, with all of the accoutrements. The board is getting fragile, however; it is well over 25 years old and a pain in the heinie to haul around. What I am looking for is someone that can transfer the pattern of the spaces (just a shade enlarged to better fit the minis) onto a surface that I can roll up like a mat.
Yes, you can race scythed chariots, at least as stated in the rules. I prefer the "Greek chariot" that Massala drove in Ben Hur, the inspiration for this game. All of the chariots in the last race had what I call "choppers". When Tom Meier sculpted them, they had some blade-things; I removed them for the savings in width and easier handling. We can pretend...
As to who gets into it, I have little say who signs up. However, if I got twelve firm committments in advance, there would be no sign-up sheets; it would be a closed exhibition game on center stage up front again, or a similar accessible and visble venue. I reserve the right to reserve three of the spots; one will go to Melf, one to Brooke if she wants it, and one to my traveling pard, francisca.
I will also create an exclusive GaryCon adventure again. Players (up to 12) will choose one of the 15 pre-gen characters I have created for whenever I run these. I have two more special adventures to DM, in Texas and at GenCon.
I will see you there...

 

The D&D adventure sounds great! I missed out on the first one! I would have put in a bid at the auction, but I had already spent enough before that!

 

Please put me in the "firm commitments" category, Tim. Since I won't be defending my LGGC Byron Memorial win anytime soon, I'd like to try to defend it somewhere (and again contribute to a fine charity).

 

Any fans of:

Mare Nostrum?
War of the Ring?
Conquest of the Empire II?

 

Nope.
Nah.
Own it! (But, never played it)
On the brighter side, I think all here are open to new gaming experiences.

 

Okay, I want to find out if anyone is interrested in a "Divine Right" tournament at next years Garycon 2. Any takers? Let me know.

 

I've heard great things about it, but never even seen it played. I would love to give it a try.

 

Has anyone here ever played “4th Dimension The Game of Space and Time” c.1979 TSR 5004? If so I could bring my copy for a few side games. :?:

 

Not really interested in a tourney. I'd rather not spend the bulk of the con playing DR. A one-shot, sure, but not multiple rounds. Too many other games to play.

 

Who said anything about multiple rounds? First winner takes all. (SEE! I'm flexible. )

 

That's the one

Ah yes, RoR: the friend-breaker; ha ha ha...

 

Always wanted to try Divine Right. If time allows, I'm down.

 

Seems like there is enough people interested, so, if it doesn't appear om the schedule I'll just bring it with.

 

I think I'll drag "Soldier, Emperor" & "Soldier, King" with. This will hopefully fill any Napoleonic needs players may have.

 

Don't forget, Mr. Clark said he would bring his D-Day War Pigs. I might have a friend bring some War Hammer. He's got his own table & everything. SO KEWL!!
