Gaslight Gathering II: The Expedition

Hey all!

Gaslight Gathering is going on right now.

Unfortunately with my new job and since I came down with a nasty cold, I'm not there right now. (Also the boys will be attending a birthday party on a Game Truck tonight, so...that kind of took precedence.)

Last year gaming up there was pretty fun, we played some Dystopia Wars, and Red Dragon Inn, in addition to playing lots of Munchkin. I'm not sure what's being played right now, but I heard SoCal Malifaux is there running Malifaux demos.

They're holding it at the Town & Country in Hotel Circle. Check out http://www.gaslightgathering.org/ for information!

(Not sure if these prices are pre-reg or at the door prices now, so at the door might be a bit more)
Steerage (Single Day) Boarding Pass
Friday $20
Saturday $30
Sunday $15

Con Report: Kingdom Con Saturday

Saturday is THE main day for Kingdom Con. There was a massive Warhammer 40k tournament, The Warmachine qualifier for GenCon, and the Game of Thrones GenCon Qualifier.

Infinity demo table, 4 on 4 game, I really like the hacking in the game, it's pretty kick-ass.

Nice Rezolution set-up by Aberrant

Aberrant has greatly expanded the line of Minis for WarLands, and the quality seems to be coming up as well.

Scrapmech, the Stranger and Max the Dog, (with his awesome Interceptor), as well as a Sand Surfer

Rezolution minis

More Rezolution minis

Blood on the Sand...post-apocalyptic Style

Mini painting Competition

Aaron Lovejoy's shelf, not in competition..Aaron teaches painting classes at At Ease Games.

Mini painting Competition

Winner of the Fanatical Gamer's Society San Diego Food Bank Charity Raffle
(He chose the painted WarMachine Army...dang that's the one we wanted...)

Second place, wins a $200 box of Flames of War

Third Place, PressGanger with Noise Marine box set donated by a high school buddy of mine (John, that's you)

The boys started the day by trying out Malifaux, which they enjoyed SO much that they wanted to stay for the Achiever tournament at 9pm, and then play in the Malifaux 35 Soulstone tournament on Sunday.

They jumped over to the Infinity demo after they finished with the Malifaux demo. They still want to get into Infinity, but after Malifaux.

Chris Czerniak finally got enough people together to run an Airship Pirates game. It was the First time I had played that system, and I was very pleased with the richness of the world. They boys also seemed to really enjoy the game, though the younger kids at the table tended to cause a lot of issues...but many of them were hilarious!

(This post will be edited tomorrow...bed calls because work in the morning)

This year is going to be the best yet, with regional tournaments, painting competitions, panels, LARPs, casual play and much more. As always, the goal of the convention is to bring people together to play games and have a good time. This is the convention's third year and we are looking forward to providing an awesome gaming experience. The convention is being held at the Crowne Plaza in San Diego Mission Valley, parking is $3 a day unless you have a room.

The more games you play the more prizes you can win! In the program for the convention, there will be a page where you can track the games you have played. Then you can report this to the "Treasury" and you will be able to collect prizes for the number of points you have scored. The prizes come from all the different sponsors we have, and there is alot of stuff!
