BayCon 2006 Gaming
Have some time to kill between events? Want something to do to keep from going nuts while waiting for that party you look forward to every year to get rolling? Need something to unwind with after a particularly challenging panel? Then Gaming may just be your answer!
The loaner game program will be in full effect again this year. We will have an assortment of card games, board games and whatever else we can turn into a game available. For those of you that prefer your games a little more animated, we are busting out the game consoles (PS2s and X-Boxes), and These will also be available for the use of our convention participants.
Here is a partial list of things that will be going on in the Gaming rooms. Please check the newsletter or our whiteboard for additional events, and come and join us in the fun.
Friday:
4:00 pm: Munchkin Tournament
Strap on your Boots of Butt-Kicking, grab your Hammer of Kneecapping and come join our Munchkin Tournament. It's a card game which is a lot like role-playing games, but without all those unimportant bits like character development and plot. The goal is simple: kill monsters and take their stuff. Beginners encouraged, being a Munchkin isn't a skill, it's a state of mind. And remember: in the end, there can be only one (and they get all the loot)!6:00pm: Talisman
Old school gamers will remember this one: Back in the day, a little company from England called "Games Workshop" actually produced games that didn't involve hundreds of dollars of miniatures per player to play. Games like Chaos Marauders, Space Crusade, and the crown Jewel of their line Talisman! Come and take a trip down memory lane and play a little Talisman, The Magical Quest Game, with us. Our Illustrious Head of Gaming has gotten his hands on a set of Talisman that has nearly all of the expansions (except Talisman Dragons), and has been itching for a game ever since.
Saturday:
10:00 am: Warhammer 40k Return to Ossuary Prime Mega Battle
An Imperial Arco dig has discovered an alien artifact of indeterminate power and use, the one thing certain about it is that Everybody wants it! Bring a 750pt army and determine the fate of the galaxy. A limited number of armies will be available for loan-out for this event, so if you have your own please bring them. Also there will be a number of Titans available for use in the battle.
2:00 pm: Loony Labs West Coast Zendo 5
If you can not only know the sound of, but can sing along to one hand clapping and truly understand the Feng-Shui of little plastic pyramids, you may be on the path to true enlightenment. Find out at the third annual West Coast Zendo Tournament! Hosted by the Zen masters and snappy dressers of Loony Labs.
4:00 pm: D20 Mutants and Masterminds - First Gen
In the real world there are no heroes, right? In the real world there are no super powers, right? Wrong! There are heroes there are super powered people, and this is just one of their storeys. You are the first gen of young supers to brake the mold and be open with your powers. How will showing the world that heroes are real change the world? Your actions will determine the fate of supers for generations to come! Characters will be provided by the GM. Please bring your own dice, and an open mind.
Sunday:
10:00 am: Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol Tournament
Bring a 400pt combat patrol army for a modified RT style tourney.
2:00 pm: Loony Labs Fluxx Tournament
At the beginning of it, Fluxx appears to be a simple card game. You draw a card from the deck, and play a card from your hand. Simple enough, right? Well, that was the first player's turn, by the time it gets back around to them again, the rules are almost guaranteed to have changed at least twice, if not more. Come and see if your goals can be achieved! Will the winner fly a rocket to the moon? Will they achieve Death by Chocolate? These questions and more will be answered, so be there!
4:00 pm: D20 Mutants and Masterminds - Gray days gen two
Who would have known that things would go that badly? Who could have guessed that people would want there heroes and villains alike locked up? Now a few heroes work with the law as Super Marshals. Now, a new mastermind is hatching a nefarious plan from the shadows. Can the new Super Marshals juggle both being the new face of super powered people, and stop the evil scheme from coming to fruition? Characters will be provided by the GM. Please bring your own dice, and an open mind.
