OK Folks, here's what I know:
First, kudos to WotC; my badge and housing confirmation was physically in my
hands yesterday (after registering on Monday)!
Second, I am in contact with KR at GeoHex about "sponsoring" our games this
year, and getting his "official" blessing on things we run. KR has a lot on
his plate right now, and will get back to me after talking to Wizards himself.
I volunteer to organize event timing, and will run the FT Tourney, and some
but not all of the demos, unless there's someone else who feels compelled to
take it over.
I would hold off on registering any events till later this month, but you CAN
send me names & times for when we DO deluge Wizards with the list.
Just so you can plan, this is what I anticipate thus far:
FT Tourney - Sat. 12-8pm
FT Demo - daily at 10am-12

though my only contact with KR is via e-mail, he seems like a standup
fellow. Also, he lives in Oregon, so he has that going for him.
I've never been into the Con scene, but I'm wondering if there are any good
gaming cons here in the PNW?

He is. The gaming industry has its gems. GZG has more than most.

Though it takes some sifting, this is an excellent resource, no matter where
you live.

Let's see. A nice guy writes a good game... is it really a surprise it
attracts quality players and vendors?

Much appreciated.

Well, I've been procrastinating about de-lurking by saying that I'd
start posting as soon as I caught up on all my list mail, and somehow that
actually happened today. Anyway here it goes:
I've been a lurker on the list for several years, at least back to when Jon
posted the FMA Skirmish rules. I'm a graduate student in physics (focus on
numerical relativity). I play Full Thrust and Star Grunt occassionally, but I
seem to buy stuff a lot more often than I actually play.
Anywho, the point of my posting was that now that I actually am nearing
completion on some of gaming table terrain, I think I'm going to run an event
or two at GenCon this year. Due to the size of my terrain setup and the fact
that it's mostly close urban terrain I think it would be more suited to FMA
Skirmish than Stargrunt. I like Stargrunt, but in Urban Terrain having the
figure scale match the ground scale is kind of nice.
I know FMA Skirmish is probably a long way off but I want to make sure its
okay for me to run an event using the rules posted way back when (August 2000
I think?) Also, I was wondering if there were any updated versions of the
rules from any playtesting? I like what was in the Beta rules, but if I
remember correctly there were a lot of gaps.
Hopefully I can get some pictures online to show everyone what my terrain
looks like. Think lots of foamcore.
Thanks, Randy Wolfmeyer

Dragonflight isn't too bad, but not a lot of GZG games going on IIRC.

Sounds interesting. Where are you located?

(keeping fingers crossed). I need the work.
