1st Annual BaCon

[livEvil]

Brothers and Sisters of the BnC!!

 

As the premier 40k forum I thought it appropriate to let all my brothers know that we're hosting a new Con in lieu of the 2009GT series. Please ignore the non-40k games (unless you're interested in them, of course). I will be the 40k event organizer and rules judge. We'd love to have y'all out for a little wargaming. One side event we'd really like to get going is a massive apoc game.

 

Feel free to call me or shoot me an email if you have any questions

NEW GAMING CONVENTION!

 

This June, Jasco Games will be hosting our first annual Bad Ass gaming convention (also referred to as BaCon) at the Science Spectrum in Lubbock, Texas. We will be hosting tournaments for Warhammer Fantasy™, Warhammer 40K™, and Warmachine/Hordes™. Also during the weekend there will be a Universal Fighting System™ regional qualifier, a Magic: the Gathering™ Type 2 Constructed tournament, a Dungeons & Dragons™ event and many other side events. Throughout the weekend, other venues will have their own events and stands.

 

This event will take place the last weekend of June, and we have a ton planned. Sign ups for events will begin today, April 21st. If you are interested, contact Jason at Jasco Games to sign up. If you do not want to play competitively, we will be doing many side events all weekend such as video game events, card events, Warhammer™ pick up battles and much more. We are looking for bands for the event so if you want to play, or know people who play please contact us.

 

The event will be June 27th and 28th. The following events can be signed up for and I will post the maximum player limit for each event. The fee for each event is specified next to the event.

 

• Warhammer Fantasy Indy GT- 40 Spots/ $30 entry

• Warhammer 40K Indy GT - 40 Spots/ $30 Entry

• Warmachine/Hordes - 20 Spots/ $20 Entry

• Universal Fighting System Regional:

o Teams (standard format) - 16 Teams/ $30 per team (3 players per team)

o Singles (legacy format) - 32 Spots/ $10

• Dungeons and Dragons Event - 16 Spots/ $15

• Magic the Gathering Event - 32+ Spots/ $15

 

Other events can be signed up for at the convention.

 

Please sign up before the event. Once spots are full, we can not take anymore unless people do not make it to the event. We will have a first sign up first serve basis for the tournament events, and there will be a waiting list under the same rule in case people do not show up.

 

We are also looking for volunteers and other vendors for this event. If you would like to volunteer, or become a vendor please contact Jason at Jasco Games for details.

Fan-fething-tastic! Finally, a Con I can attend! I come to Challenge Games all the time, and I've been to the Spectrum a goodly number of times. Maybe we've met.

Zaku:

 

I really hope you can make it. It should be a ton of fun. I'm sure we've met, but if not it will be great to meet you. I've always enjoyed meeting fellow gamers. There will be enough at the convention to keep most people busy all weekend long (especially me LOL)

 

Grey Mage:

Montana's only a hop step and a skip away, right? :o. We'll see you fir sure I hope! I'm only kidding, but it would be awesome to have you down for the event!

 

Remember if anyone has any questions feel free to email me or give me a call. We'll be picking scenarios this week to have them play tested by June.

 

Thanks guys!
