I'll be playing:

Firestorm (Tournament)
Planetfall (Tournament)
Malifaux (event an open play)

Bringing:
-- Little bit of Warmachine for pickup games
-- DC Deckbuilder cards
-- Whatever other boardgame I can compress into a cigar box, like BB Team Manager or Death Angel

I'd play STAW or X-Wing (etc), but I doubt I'll have space for them.

Well, for STAW and W@S I would have no problem bringing enough stuff for two sides; those games travel pretty compactly.  8)

Bringing for Sure (at least 95% sure):

-Firestorm Armada (two 1000-point RSN fleets for tournament)

-Dystopian Wars (1250-point FSA fleet for Grudge Match with Andy :) )

-Deep Wars (Fortune Hunters and Ancients of Atalan warbands)

-Halo: Fleet Battles (not sure how much, but at least 1000 points each of UNSC and Covenant)



Considering Bringing:

Firefly board game (if I have enough space)

X-Wing (possibly 100-150 points of Rebels and Imperials for pick up games)

I'll see if I can fit my STAW or X-Wing.  Otherwise I'm just bringing Planetfall and Firestorm.

-PlanetFall
-Dystopian Wars (hope to find a pickup game)

(Games not related to this thread)
-Necromunda
-Wild West Exodus
-Kings of War

If I try any new games this con, wish list includes Wild West Exodus, KoW, and Guildball.

I need more HALO games too.
But my override setting will be to get games in with non-Colorado folks. I know at least 3-4 acquaintances from Templecon will be there, so there's a few Warmachine matches. And like many, I'll be looking for games with the Firebase Delta guys, or the D6G, or the Nerdherders. And Ruckdog Actual of course! ;-)

I am negotiating with the Director of Travel Operations to arrange a trip to Adepticon, but will likely be doing the Bolt Action Nationals.

For those in the Firestorm Armada tournament, I recommend listening to the Mann's Model Moments podcast episode 12.  It's an interview with the Waygate, Jaded Gamer, and Firebase Delta podcasts, all of whom will be at Adepticon, talking about the meta in their gaming groups.  It's pretty good Intel on how they build and use fleets.

**Edit:  it's the Hub Systems podcast.

Awesome! I will definitely check that out.

In other news, I've got a couple of draft T-shirt designs put together:

Design 1 is a grey shirt with a front pocket (which I always find handy):




Design 2 uses a blue shirt, no pocket:




Keep in mind, these are very preliminary. The wording, fonts, artwork, positioning, etc. are all up for discussion if you guys want to see something different.  Because of the artwork and the low production run, these will be a bit pricey...I would ask for $20 each for them to help offset the cost for these designs. I can cut down the cost to say, around $15 by going with less art or a less expensive shirt, that sort of thing. Let me know what you think!

I think I prefer Design 2. What do those signal flags on the front mean? I'm going to assume "all hands to your battlestations" or something like that...

The signal flags are the Mike, Bravo, and Sierra flags, for "MBS." 8)

Don't they also mean, I am stopped, dangerous cargo, engines going astern?  Are we sure that's the message we want to send?  ;)

In honor of Greg's RSN, maybe we should do:
Juliet - On Fire
Bravo - Dangerous Cargo
Zulu - Require a Tug

:)

I'm assuming you are using the international codes?

Eh, the thing is, in more "casual" settings (ie, not at sea), you commonly see the signal flags being used to spell things, and not used as codes.

Besides, starting with Mike, my string would probably equate to some sort of medical code :)
