It was good meeting you there this year. I hope to make it every year.  Next year especially I will be bringing my game boards. Not sure if I’m going to host an event for Bal Mod 3 games or play in the 1942 game again.

Had a great time and even played some 1st edition AD&D, :)

Any news?

12 years ago.  Some vets attended since those days.

Gencon has undergone some drama with WotC, its former owner, so Magic and DnD are less represented than ever but they have been essentially replaced by better games, like Netrunner and Pathfinder.

@Young:

It’s gonna be strange not seeing the name Ryan Davison etched as champion in a long line of title wins.

Ya, but I can still safely say that I won every in-person tournament that I have participated in for global :)

@miamiumike:

I need someone to explain a bit better how this chess clock idea will work.

Let’s say the tournament round is set for 6 hours (which is what AA50 games are set to currently). This would then mean each team has 3 hours of time? In the middle of round 6, Italy is up and opps - the Axis run out of time - they automatically lose?

If this is correct, then I guess that means we want to have NO new people play the game. Not even people who have played but are not true ‘experts’. The only situation I could see possibly thinking about using this idea would be in a Masters type tournament. That would be it. Otherwise, you will kill any non-hardcore player from ever even attempting a tournament game. For the Masters, it might work.

I’d be willing to give it a try - just to see how it goes - but I cannot see how this helps grow the number of people who would want to play in a tournament.
