Convention News

[Jean]

ADB wants to try something new and I need your help. I'd like to make sure that conventions that are running SFU games get advertised in Hailing Frequencies, our monthly newsletter. (Since this was my idea, SVC said I get to gather up the information!) To do that, I need a list of those conventions. You can post them here, on ADB's page on Facebook, on ADB's BBS, on the FC Forum, email them, PM me, or even send it by carrier pigeon. Well, I need it by Wednesday, so it had better be a FAST pigeon! I'd like the name of the con, dates, where it is, what is being played, and a website for them to go for more information.

Thanks for your help!

So, I need a game that is being played. I'm assuming it would be ACTASF? Tentatively, this is its entry:

Diecon 12 is going to be held June 22-24, 2012 in Collinsville, IL. They will be offering A Call to Arms: Star Fleet. For more information, see http://www.diecon.com/D12/

Bob, thanks for letting me know about it and if you can verify the entry, I would appreciate it.

Keep them coming!

Can you enter pure tournaments that are available for people to enter?

 

[Jean]

As long as the tournaments are open to everyone and are meant to attract a wide audience. I'll need contact information so that folks can reach the organizer if there isn't a website.

This might be too late but I'm running a demo at Orccon in Los Angeles, CA on Feb19th, 1900hrs.

I'll be running demo games of ACTA: Star Fleet at:

Trumpeter Salute, March 30-April 1, 2012, Vancouver, B.C. Canada http://www.trumpetersalute.com/

I plan to run demo games in four slots Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon, 6 players per slot.

 

[Jean]

All entries above this one are now written up for Hailing Frequencies February 2012.

Any that happen after March 10 will be carried over to the next issue.

Please feel free to post scheduled demos, cons, and tournaments that are open to all. I do need a Name of the event, What is being played/demoed, Where it is being held and (in the case of the demo) a specific store, When this will happen, and (preferably) a website link so folks can read all about it!
