We have expanded from a handful of events to well over 180 tournaments, event games, and hobby seminars covering all aspects of the miniature war gaming hobby.

Shadowopal Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 So....what kind of things would we like to see at AdeptiCon as far as Wyrd events are concerned? In the past we have had: Achievement League Team Tourney Story Encounter Masters of Malifaux Cake Match These are all going to stay. But, I am curious what other formats people would like? I am going to be inviting my team for Barbque within the next month and we will be talking ideas. So, let me know and we will see what we can make happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysis Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Woot! Sounds great! I would love it if the "Enforcer Brawl" could get added as an Adepticon event. My players and I have been exploring it as a light hearted event, and its been awesome. We've been tinkering with the basic rules to optimize, and its really a good time.

Shadowopal Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Lysis: send me what you come up with and we can take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy in Suit Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Bring back the Avatars event! It's the best!! :D Since space isn't an issue you should run it at the same time as a more lighthearted event - Enforcer or Henchman crews could be great. Also please god let there be functioning wifi, as Twitch + Avatars would be glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowopal Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Not sure what you mean by avatars. If you are talking about qualifier/single elim, we lost most of our attendees on Sunday. Which made awards just depressing. As far as concurrent events, it all boils down to space and volunteers. I had a great group this year and was still hard pressed on scheduling. People get sick. Traffic can suck. I would love to add events and am planning to. But just to let everyone know, we will definitely need more volunteers if it is going to happen.

Lysis Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Packet sent Sean. Taking some time to volunteer in 2015 might be healthier for me than my last play schedule, so count me in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowopal Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Got it. Thanks. I will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
