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.
