Howdy folks!

GenCon is fast approaching and I'm looking forward to meeting some of you and/or seeing you again!

For this year, I set up a few official demo events and multi-player Gang War events for Friday & Saturday.

Demos events will be 1 hour blocks from 1-4PM, for up to 4 players each and I'll personally teach you how to play. These games will be using 5-man starter gangs on a 2'x2' board, and it's intended to show you the basics of the game mechanics. The demo blocks will last for 1 hour each, but games won't last that long. You can probably play a couple of games in the time allotted. I'll supply all miniatures and other supplies or you can bring your own if you have them.

Gang Wars start at 6 PM and will be up-to-8 player games with 2 gangs of 20, each player will get a 5 man gang and form 2 4-on-4 teams. The game will be played on a cramped 2x8' board that should ensure maximum carnage. I might be able to make the board a little bigger, will depend on how much space is available. I'll supply all of the miniatures, but if you bring your own painted 5-man gang of BWG miniatures you will get extra points :)

Click here for a direct link to the events calendar if you'd like to sign up in advance :)

If the link doesn't work, you should be able to get to the list on GenCon's site if you just search for Blackwater Gulch

The games will not be in the dealer area, I'll have a special section in Game Salute's HQ in gaming hall "E".

Ooo…looking forward to this.

Also, can't wait to get my Kickstarter Rewards.

Looks like they're sold out?

Yes, they are sold out.. every single one. I don't know why but the site I was reading didn't say they were sold out. Just asked my publisher and apparently every BWG event sold out the first week! But, anyway, there will always be some folks who don't show up, so you could still play with a generic ticket, and I also plan to keep the boards up for a while after the gang war for anyone else that wants to walk up and try it out as long as no one tells us to move :)

Anyway, sorry about the mixup…

I'll try to sneak in a game :)
