Re: DE/NJ/MD/PA/VA NHSD 2011 Multi-Day Event Discussion Thre
Ok - Tony, the guy behind Mechanicon, stopped by Games Keep yesterday and we had a chance to chat. We're in - I just need to get him some event info PRONTO. Discussion yesterday seemed to confirm that we think we can do four events: a four-round event on Friday night, a four-round on Saturday morning, a five-round on Saturday afternoon/evening, and a five-round on Sunday. Here's my thought:
Friday 5pm-9pm: Assassin's Guild. Four rounds, 450 points, scenario rules forthcoming - similar to our last event but with Brandar's Chests. First player to hold both chests wins the game. Saturday 10am - 2pm: General Wars. Four rounds, 400 points. Saturday 3pm - 9pm: Standard. Five rounds, 520 points. We haven't done a standard tournament in a long, long time. Sunday 10am - 3pm: Heroes Only. Five rounds, 550 points. Comments please! |

Re: DE/NJ/MD/PA/VA NHSD 2011 Multi-Day Event Discussion Thre
KidScaper and I should be good for both Saturday events. I don't think anyone else from my usual suspects would be able to make it, though.
If you're getting NHSD prize support (no harm in asking), how would you handle it? What about entry fees, etc? Is there a separate fee for Mechanicon?

Justine, Mason, and I have already discussed this, and we will be good for the entire event (Friday through Sunday). We would be staying overnight, so any hotel info. would be great!
If any help is needed near the time of the event, we should be able to help. |

Love the formats, but 400 pts. for general wars seems a little slim to me. I'm a fan of the 500pt ones, but I understand keeping it changed up if that is what you were thinking.

4 rounds of play in a 4 hour window. That might be what MW is thinking. 400 points might get that done easier than 500.
Then again, I don't presume to know what MW is thinking. That's what jumped out at me anyhow. 73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins. |

Re: DE/NJ/MD/PA/VA NHSD 2011 Multi-Day Event Discussion Thre
I have cleared this with my significant other and I will be attending all three days of the Con. This is going to be a blast! Hopefully we can get some other more distant groups interested in attending as well. I would love to see some of the New York, New England, and Western PA people make the trip out for the weekend.
The events look great to me. Here are a couple of quick questions: 1) Will the Saturday evening event be the "Main Event" or are they all going to be equal? Also, will we need a six hour time block for a five round event? 2) Can we please allow Marvel into the Heroes only tournament? Here is the information for the Days Hotel: Rooms are available with a group discount rate of $89 plus tax. To receive the group rate for hotel rooms, call the Days Hotel at 610-692-1900 and mention the code “MechaniCon Conference”. Any cancellations of reservations within 24 hours from the date of arrival will be billed for one (1) night’s room and tax. If you split a room with a friend or three, the rates really are very reasonable. Also, everyone should remember that the fun doesn't have to stop once the HS events are over for the day. I would love to get in some other games like Battleship Galaxies, Battlestar Galactica, or whatever else somebody wants to play after the tournaments on Friday and Saturday. |

Could we start the 2d event an hour later, from 4-9? I'd love to be able to have a look around the event, or maybe bust out some SW or BG with some of you guys. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will want some non-Scape time, too.

Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon NHSD Event
This is going to be great! Thanks to MW for taking the lead on this and getting us into Mechanicon!
I have updated the op with the event info which I understand is subject to change. We should also discuss glyphs and who will volunteer for maps,setup, cleanup etc... Many hands make light work. As for myself and attending, this is just to far in the future atm. I will certainly be there for Saturday, but Fri. and Sun. are unclear. I hope to make all three days but won't know till closer to game time. I will do whatever I can to help on Saturday though. R˙chean has always stepped up in the past and given great support for NHSD events and I would expect nothing less this year.

I'm also considering some stuff like achievements throughout the weekend - things like most mindshackles and most 1 hit KOs. Keep it simple but maybe have a small bit of swag for the person with the achievement. I'd like to get some fun trophies going too - we haven't done that in a while. And, if Johngee is coming, I think he could do a wicked display map - heck, that monster he brought on Saturday would be awesome. |
