Subject: GZG West Coast Con 1 [Official (?!)] Report
The Ground Zero Games West Coast Convention was a great success! Thanks to everyone who showed up to play, and thanks to everyone who offered support and helped make the convention a reality. Jon - Thanks for all of the lead you sent for use as prizes! Folks were very excited to see the new 15's and 25's. KR - Thanks for the minis and rulebooks you sent. I really appreciate all the help you gave us in publicizing the con. David (DLD Productions) - Thanks for the Space Station, Komodo APC, and the other kits you donated. Your kits really made a big hit! Folks are impressed with the way they look. Good stuff. Michael (and Alexander) Brown - Thanks for running so many games and for all of your help during the planning phase of the con. The FMA "Bug Hunt" game was a blast! Bob (and Robert) Bantly - Your "Bug Fleet" looked great! Definitely deserved to win the FT Miniature Contest. Thanks for running so many FT games. Don Greenfield - Recipient of the "Furthest Travelled Award!" and the "SG 2 Miniature Contest" winner. Thanks for making the trek out - it was great gaming with you! John Fox - Winner of the "Oh My God, How Many Points is This FT Game?!" award. Great games on Saturday. Hope you can do bigger ones (!) next year! John Leary - Thanks for making the trip to the con - twice! Sorry we weren't there Sunday! Guess I owe you a free one day pass next year ... Kent McClure - Great stuff you entered in the FT mini contest. If Bob keeps his bug-bead ships out next year you're a shoe-in ... Sean Ormsby - Thanks for bringing all of the folks in and for running some great SG 2 games. Jason Launer - Thanks for making all of that great terrain for the SG 2 games! Looked terrific! Jesse Staunton - Good playing with you Friday night. Pity our Beastman forces didn't kick more human butt... Keith Sadler - Good playing SG 2 against you Saturday afternoon. That was the first game in a while that I've played in where opponents were offering each other (competent) advice! Guess we were our own worse enemies! Mark Reindl - Thanks for making the trek out from Fresno. Hope you can stay for more time next year. Brad Becerra - Hopefully we'll have a couple more games you can fight in with your Svask next year and you can actually beat someone (just kidding)! And finally I'd like to thank my family and the Academy...:) Coming soon: - GZG WCC 1 Quote Board - Ted's GZG WCC 1 Pictures See you guys next year at GZG WCC _2_!
