Aye 2012 Adepticon.

I might have to find an excuse to travel up to Boston work around those days and play.

I can't believe I didn't notice until we talked yesterday that you're the same weekend as Throne of Skulls. Doh!

If you do manage to get the first weekend of June like you said is a possibility, I am so there.

First weekend of June + lower points for Fantasy very likely means I and at least some of my gaming group will be there too

Will be watching to see what develops ...

New changes too the venue!!! My apologies for this people but as was pointed out too me this weekend that the dates set are the same weekend as the Vegas GT. Though most people will not be going we wanted to give a chance for as many too come as could be. With that this morning the venue hall was changed as well as the date. This change actually worked in out better half as the new hall is at the Hudson, Mass Elks lodge. The lodge will have airconditioning, Adult beverages available for purchase(with ID and cash only) as well as a food stand with burgers and such. Also they cut us a much better deal so we can take the money saved and put it towards more prizes and swag here are the events and dates as stands, and are now locked in(I place the deposit tomorrow).

Did Jason Buyaki ever work in Cali while he was with GW? I ask cause that name sounds really, really familiar from when I was there.

Awesome change! Psyched!

No idea Hulk, and NP Mannhiem .

Starting to look like a great event! I'm looking forward to it.

Don't forget Wyatt your ticket is free so you don't need too sign up, unless you want too do the friday stuff then you just have too pay those, but the weekend pass and 40k ticket is already covered for you.

This one going to be tough to make being July 4th weekend. It going to be tough to get the wife to agree for me go away that weekend.

I'm planning to be there this year as well, whats the point limit going to be for 40k?

Awesome change, great date for me. Now just waiting on the fantasy points level ... (2200 ftw?)

- Salvage

Registration is now open through the site!!!

Well saddly due too the date change Mr. Jason Buyaki is unable too attend. Though this saddens us we understand thoroughly that family needs to come first. As such our other guest has confirmed, and as such we will be offering up a Friday Night Dinner as a contest. Five gamers will be selected at random from the first 50 sign ups and will be treated too a high class dinner at the Met Burger Bar in Natick on Friday evening. This is a 4 star restaurant and is a great place to have a meet and greet with our special guest. Also we have one more guest we will be announcing soon but just to give you a hint he has over 12 Golden Demons!!!!

So with that don't wait too long head on over too Battleroadgames.com and sign up!!! (Wyatt your already counted so don't worry).

Oof. Holiday weekend is likely a showstopper for me. Oh wells.

Saddly this was the only weekend we could get too work out with all of our criteria.

More info posted, this time the site address as well as local hotels and food places.

We are only able to garuntee swag bags to the first 100 people to sign up after that we cannot assure bags for attendee's.

Thomas Wynn has agreed this year too make us our trophies again and we can also say that their will be several specially made trophies for the 40k overall, fantasy overall, and the Rogue Demon best painted winner.

So how is the scoring going to be done?

We will be posting the exact breakdowns latter this week on each individual scoring system that will be used.

The painting rubric has been attached to the first post as well as all of the info is now going up on the Battleroadgames.com forums http://battleroadgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33

Cool to see the painting rubric! Thanks!

I have a few questions about it, if you don't mind.

3pts= Their is freehand painting done on the army as well as true artistic work and depth with shadows and weathering.

Just to confirm: Freehand only counts if the army ALSO has true artistic work AND depth with shadows and weathering?

is there a particular reason why these three things aren't each their own one point question? If I have depth and weathering, I don't get any points for that unless I also do some freehand?

4pts= This army is easily one of my top five choices.

4pts= This army is easily one of my top 3 choices.

3pts= Top choice Army
2pts= Second Choice Army
1pt= Third choice Army

Okay, any army which is not top 5 maxes out at 12/20. The 5th and 4th best armies cap at 16/20.

For a moment let's say that both judges agree on the top three armies at the event.

So the 6th best-painted army at the event totals 24pts for painting (if he hits all the first 8 questions). The 3rd best gets 42 (21 per judge), the 2nd best 44, and the best army maxes out at 46pts on painting. That's right?

Painting's included in the Overall, yes?

Painting and sport will fit in with the overall yes. I did this as it fits in with the older GW method for GT.

-The reasoning on the whole freehand it is an all incompassing set of points. So if you do some freehand, or go heavy on shadows and such, or heavy weathering it will give you the three points as that shows more of the effort and covers the three main artistic styles people shoot for in painting. That way if somone does a lot of freehand but no weathering they will get the same recognition as somone with heavy skilled weathering if that makes sense.

-Also the top ones really depend on what's there so I can't say for certain how that plays out.

- I wanted a straight forward rubric that covered all of the general concepts of painting. As you can see a display board IS NOT on there as I don't personally believe that should be judged.

Alrighty we have on our forums the sports rubric, and the painting up so please head on over and check it out. Hurry and sign up as spots are filling up!!!

Less then 90 days until Boston Brawlcon people. Our 40k is filling up fast, with spots open for fantasy as well so sign up quickly as we will close registration june 18th.

After talking with the other organizers we have decided to make a major switch to the Brawl. With little sign ups in the other events we have decided to cancel those and only do 40k. As such we will be focusing just on that, and the painting comp with three categories. Best Single, Best Unit, and Best Large Model.

Also we will be having other awards going out there too so be prepared.

Ha, I am glad I am so slow and lazy.)

I've had a box sitting here to go out to you with the tank you won at the auction, and pile of boxes I was going to throw into the prize pile. I'll pull out the couple of fantasy items and toss in more 40k.) Should get it out this week to you.

Signing up today!

Will be bugging my friends and club-mates about it at the weekly gaming night tonight too!

Thanks all, and mike no hurry I owe you for those anyways. I just need a paypal address, also throw some business cards in too. Mannhiem I am rather excited to see your group again as you guys play some really fun games to watch.
