Austin Game Day #5 - February 9th, 2002 - 10am to 7pm That's right, it's coming up this weekend, right here in Austin Texas. We've got some exciting new plans for this AGD in addition to the usual melange of roleplaying, board, card and miniatures games. First, we're going to be adding a little variety to our roleplaying schedule with some one-shot games and mini-campaigns with some unusual settings, including Call of Cthulhu, GURPS WWII and Deadlands D20 in addition to the traditional Fantasy/D&D games. There ought to be something for everyone. Second, we expect to build on the growth we had last time in miniatures and board game activity, hopefully with both more miniatures events and a formal Settlers of Catan and Carcassone tournaments with prizes and everything. Third, there are a couple of innovations in our Magic the Gathering booster draft events. This time they are going to feature brand new Torment cards. In addition, we're offering a discount if you play in both the 11am and 3pm booster drafts. We're also opening up space for younger Magic players this time, with a separate draft for players 15 and under at a discounted price, assuming enough come to play. Finally, we've seen enough growth through the last 4 AGDs that we're ready to take a radical step. We'll be offering discounted long-term memberships - where you can pay $25 to get into as many AGDs as you want for the next year. There'll even be fancy membership cards and other perks. We're still putting together the final schedule, but here are some highlighted start times. 10am Event Sign-up Starts Open Gaming Starts Miniatures Setup 11am 1st Roleplaying Sessions 1st Magic Booster Draft Miniatures Events Start 1pm Settlers of Catan Tournament 3pm 2nd Roleplaying Sessions 2nd Magic Booster Draft 5pm Carcassone Tournament That's just a general overview. Specific event info and start times are on the website at http://www.fontcraft.com/austingaming - look for the full schedule sometime Thursday. If you want to run something and get it in the schedule, drop me a line and we'll get it set up. Dave
