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 Style Rogue Trader- 40 Spots/ $30 entry
• Warhammer 40K Indy GT Style Rogue Trader- 40 Spots/ $30 Entry
• Warmachine/Hordes - 20 Spots/ $20 Entry

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.

It is just shy of 350 miles.

You wouldn't happen to have a schedule of events would you?
Its a little hard to sign up for the 40k tourney without knowing how many points, how many games, or even what days it's going to be on.

You mean the smell of manure and a dry county aren't enough to entice you?

Don't get me wrong, I'll be expecting plenty of that as well. Fantasy details would be nice, though.

My home state annoys the feth out of me with its' dry counties. We are a "good christian state"... whatever that means, though not as bad as Utah. Lubbock... doubt I could talk the girlfriend into driving 9 hours... so... that's gonna be a pass.

Hi everyone. Maybe I can fill you guys in a little. The convention is on the last weekend of June, so the 27th and 28th.
Both tournaments are 2 Day, 5 games events.
Fantasy is 2250 points and 40k is 1850 points.

I talked to the convention organizer this morning and he said he will post a schedule of events later today.

I have to say, the table for this thing are absolutely stunning. The 40k tables that I have seen being built rival those seen at Gamesday. They have really gone all out for this event. I will try to get some picture of their work and post them here later on.
