Epicstravaganza Four: Early Plannings
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 11:50 pm
I'm thinking it may be about time to start planning another Epic event, so here's the scheduling / seeing who can come thread.
Looking at my own schedule for the next few months, anything before June is going to be pretty busy, so how are people for some weekend in June? Chances are good that we'd be looking at a Saturday again, although I'm moving in April and may look for a community center nearer my new place - it's actually right nearby where I live now, so using the same venue is also a possibility, as I like its convenience to public transportation. It looks like there's another nearer my new place that is open on Sundays and has a big room, but is a bit farther from a subway station. I'll have a think.
New Stuff I'm Thinking About
Scenarios! The Grand Tournament scenario is fun enough, but I think there's plenty of room for branching out and trying some fun variants, especially now that more people are getting more comfortable with the core rules. To that end, over the next few months I'm hoping to test some scenarios I've cobbled together from Flames of War, and will see if I can get them to work in the Epic context.
Prizes! A Prize. One. Sort of. I have this Iron Warriors army I've been sitting on, and it looks like it's up for grabs. So I think I'll use it myself on the day, and then give it to whoever did best in their games that day and also wants it and would use it. If people think it's a cool idea, I'm tempted to make this an every-time thing: grab a cheap Marine or Ork lot off eBay, paint it up for the event, and give it away as a prize.
So: How are people for June? Saturday or Sunday? Let me know!
