I remember going to Columbus last year and having McCambell finish first and me finish second. Let's see what OH can do at this coming US Teams event.

PentaCon is a small con, but it used to be much larger. It runs Fri-Sat, with a good mix of historical minis, non-historical minis, and RPGs. Its about the only thing going in northern IN gaming-wise this time of year. Who knows, maybe we could make it the biggest FoG con in the midwest!

Here's the con site: http://www.pentacongames.com/index.shtml

As an FYI to all FoG players that here at GenCon, the guy who ran the FoW tournament and I have mentioned doing a FoG tourney next year. Still in the works but he thinks that would be awesome. He likes the game and I am a huge fan of it already and I have not even played a game yet!!! I will probably see him in the next few weeks and will pick his brain about doing just that. Just do not have the knowledge on how to run one, but then again that is what all of you are here for....right???

This is a reason why I want to promote the game as much as possible because it is similar to the people who do FoW. Gamers who enjoy the game, the history AND the fun of it.
I think promoting ANY Con is a great idea. Especially those ones that are less expensive than GenCon.

The offspring will form Beltway 2. Still better than the Ohio players.

I hear on the cactus vine that Dan, his daughter and two tamed coyotes will form the Arizona Bandits for Atlanta, and expect to slaughter Ohio......

Sorry, didn't count b/c the "real" Ohio team wasn't at that event....

How did you guys do in SW Ohio? Hell McCambell couldn't even beat our protege - Hurchanick.

Preferably someone who knows the rules

We'll teach you how to actually play the game with some semblence of style!
Too bad your game does not correspond with the rules book.

...Knows the rules, or sniffs at the butt of the author to glean their "intent".

either way, we'll try to be there, how 'bout you?

did you really move out to Arizona?

No, but i am here/there a lot. We made sure the new daughter was born in Arizona so she could be the 6th generation from the state. Those traditions are worth keeping...Besides its a dry heat.

@MadCam,

Let me know if you can come up on the 14th or 21st. I will have more info on dates in the next week or so. But will find out the date(s) asap. Look forward to meeting you and getting FoG rolling in Indiana. Thanks.

Didn't know you were expecting, I thought you just were retaining water/beer.

In all seriousness - CONGRATS!!!!

I expect my "un"-used official white house cigar the next time we see each other.

So... just to clarify, you guys will be running a demo on the 14th? Some guys are looking to come down and check it out. Can you post a link to your store's website?

msuspartan · Post by **msuspartan** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 3:34 pm

@MadCam and Nebelwerfer and others interested,

The date is set for 14 November at 12 noon for a number of people who will be here for a teaching demo of FoG. Many people here are very interested in this cool game. We are realy looking forward to you all helping us get FoG'd in here in Indy!!! We are also trying to get a demo or better tourney???) for GenCon next year. Any that may come from outside of Indy and area we will spring for pizza!! We are really excited about the response we are receiving here. If you have any questions just post here.
