Interesting. I haven't ever heard of the Conclave if Gamers convention.
So from the way it looks you register for the con and then just show up...weird.

That possibly beats the last Genghis registration woes ;-)

I sent a general email about the registration process.
You buy a pass first (weekend or specific day). Then you can RSVP for a game by adding it to your schedule on their website. You don't pay any event or game fees.
However, you are not guaranteed a spot at the game. There is no way for you to know how many people have signed up and it is up to the game volunteer's discretion to let you play or not...
Very easy to register, but not super cool if you pay $50 for a badge and can't play.

If folks bring extra mats and terrain, we won't run out of Firestorm spots :-)

Thanks for holding another local event, Dale, especially so close to Adepticon.  Two questions...

It's it going two be two lists like at Genghis Con?  I saw that it's using Adepticon's 2016 rules but I can't seem to find them.  Just last year's.

Are Task Force models running FSA rules allowed?  Schedule on the COG site mentioned latest ORBATS are allowed but I think the new ships stats were still considered beta last time I looked.  Then Harpoons... :P

Looks like the combined fleet pdfs have been updated for the 6 major races.  ROTO, defense platforms, system wars and Task force have all been incorporated into their racess pdf.

The link to the Terran pdf is broken atm.  The Spartan forums have been tearing through them looking at compiled changes as well as errors.

It will depend when they stabilize, but it looks like we'll use the updates.

Signed up for CoG and put Halo (not bringing anything, I've never played but I'd like to check it out) and FSA on my sked. Chris, the guy who keeps bringing those damn Dindrezi should be coming as well.  We're still trying to talk our Solyrian/Relthoza buddy into coming.

I'll be bringing along my game mat and terrain that I brought to Genghis Con as well.  Hopefully I'll have a bunch of asteroids done by then, too.  I was jealous of other other Chris' rocks last time.
