Adepticon 2016

[Ruckdog]

Agreed. But it sounds like we're going to have some evening activities with the GNT crew, so hopefully we'll also have time to game. However...Ruckdog, you and I need to play some one-on-one DW. My FSA versus your Prussians, like old times.

How would we go about challenging the Firebase Delta guys? Should we make it a Kurak vs Zenian thing?

From experience, Teras is always careful to leave some white space in the evenings for stuff like this. And, it doesn't have to be in the evening! We might be able to find time during the day to do our get together as well. As for a PE/FSA match, you're on!

With regards to the Firebase Delta game, I'm not too hung up on how it's organized. Zenith Vs Kurak seems fine to me .

The official event list should be coming out soon.  Looks like we'll have a 1000pt, 4-round Firestorm tourney.  According to the Michigan GT out brief, the same guys also ran a narrative event and they're thinking about something for Planetfall. 

Those of us going are gonna need help from the rest of the gang to get our fleet lists ready.  So, bring your biggest, baddest lists to the table.  Based on last year's results, Works Raptor may be the fleet to beat.

DW doesn't seem to have much of a local following in the Chicago area, but maybe we'll get lucky and see an event, but it doesn't sound hopeful. 

I'll continue to post here as I hear more and encourage others to do likewise.

Yeah, I heard that in the last podcast as well. I've never faced Works Raptor, but I hear they're a nasty fleet...I've even heard rumors that they're a "broken" fleet.

Is it safe to assume that the Firestorm tourney will take place in a single day? Agreed on trying our fleets against each other.

Also...and this means more probably to me and Forrest than anyone else...it looks like Anti-Matter Games will be present at Adepticon. These are the guys who make the Deep Wars game. Eric Louchard, who runs the company, said he'll get a game in with me if he can be there, which is just freakin' AWESOME. So I'm bringing my Fortune Hunters just in case.

Looks like we're going to get a Planetfall event on Friday!

Watch out for those Works Raptor destroyers.  Picked up a box of them.  If they're half as deadly as they are awesome looking, you're toast.

Thanks! Sounds like you have your ear close to the ground on this; I appreciate the updates.

Of course, the way it is going, we will have enough folks to do our own impromptu DW event if nothing else! 

[Stephan]

An early schedule of events is posted on the Adepticon homepage.  Also, Teras sent an e-mail saying the pre-public event signup opens on 16 Nov.

[Ruckdog]

I got the same email! Looks like the finalized list of events will be out this Friday according to the Adepticon website. Once we all figure out what we plan on doing and when, we need to sit down and find a time for our naval gaming shenanigans!

[Ruckdog]

Hopefully by this point, everyone has gotten their registrations done! Please don't forget to either update the Google calendar I made or send me your events list, so that I can make a combined MBS Adepticon calendar. The goal will be to find the "white" space where we can all get together and meet!

Oh, and I am seriously looking at doing some T-shirts for the group  .

[Dakkar]

I'll get on the G-Calendar this weekend sometime.

And I'll gladly sport MBS colors. And/or put an MBS patch/pin on my Gaming Fez.

[Stephan]

Quick update, looks like Zorper (Todd) will also be joining us at Adepticon for the Planetfall tourney!

[Dakkar]

Sweet!

[Ruckdog]

Great news! I'm going to have to get moving on a T-shirt design  .

Draft scenarios are UP:

Hey all! Thought it might be a good idea to talk out what games we are going to play (outside of events of course!). Reason being, we are all going to be traveling quite a distance to get to the show, and so we can't bring too much stuff with us. Plus, we need to leave room for all the loot we are going to get at the con . Here is my list:

Games That I'm bringing for sure:
Firestorm Armada (Playing in tournament)
BFG (Playing in tournament)
DW (PE and maybe FSA)
Halo Fleet Battles

Games that I'm Considering Bringing (If there is interest among all of you who are going to the con):
War at Sea
Star Trek Attack Wing
X-Wing
Star Wars Armada
