Geek Fest London 2012 Day Four

Day four saw the packing up of games, cards, and all other gaming

paraphernalia, and a most excellent breakfast. This was one

the heaviest gaming Geek Fests I can remember. Many Magic games were

played. My green deck, made up of a lot of water, a goblin deck

with not a whole lot of goblins. The black deck surprisingly was made

up by a lot of Zombies.

My ride home had a nail in the tire, hopefully no

real damage.

Until next year, Geek Fest 2013 Gravenhurst.

As long as the world doesn't end.

Geek Fest London 2012 Day Three

Gamma World was the feature game of the weekend.

All Geek Fest participants had a character of some sort.

I must say I like Gamma World, I think it suits my style of play.

When you can use a character named EmmCee Monkey Funky Dancer

and it really doesn't sound that silly, it must be a fun game.

All you D&D purists may argue but you can't beat fighting giant

chickens that are armed with automatic rifles...

Fighting a giant scorpion. (Gamma World)

A game of dominion in progress. A card game none of

us had played before, except for our GM.

A four way battle of Warmachine involving four players  me, the host

and his two kids. An interesting game. The opponents were in

diagonal corners of each other. If other players got in the way...

well action had to be taken. The game went just like I thought it would on

 a small board, fast and bloody! Sorry for the fuzzy pic

but it was a real intense point in the game.

Day Two London 2012 Geekfest

The games of Warmachine have begun. The characters for Gamma World have been created. Then everybody went to see Total Recall...

 In the thick of it. One warjack knocked down, warcasters

out in the open. Tricky situation.
Terrain is Battlefield in a box.

Day One Geekfest London 2012

The first day of Geekfest saw all the old players re-united and some new one's, and some players not seen for many many years.

The first night there appeared some rather sneaky Magic players.

In the middle of a four player Magic game.

Trial Game

A trial game to learn the rules. Custom terrain using mega blocks.

In this turn, one of the Khador Warjacks has been knocked down with a

head butt and the Khador warcaster is in a bit a trouble.

                       
                

  Using a 2' by 2'  table and just the warbands will make these games fast

and violent. Everybody read up on the rules or I shall dominate the Warmachine table.

The coolest email.

Ah ... ever since my first tabletop battles of Wellington vs Napoleon in Rog's basement, I knew Roger would forever have a passion for those tiny little guys and the little paintbrushes that make them look good on their way to death. Alas, my love will always be for the imaginary worlds ... those endless paths and passages that appear in our minds as we gather to geek out. Thus will I sip at the fountain of WarHammer ... but I will not drink deeply ... for I have not the time and energy I once did as a youth when one might spend one's hours on frivolous pursuits, 24 hour rpg sessions, dressing up and so forth. In the high summer of my life I must spend my time like a miser ... so let it be for this one fateful weekend when we all gather to shift out of the careening paths of our now separated lives ... as some of us who have grown unaccustomed to the d20 learn to throw it once again ... so might I try again as in days of old to defeat Roger on his home territory ... even the green lawns and spiky trees which are ever held in place by a little white glue ... to gather units together in command groups ... to measure ranges with a seamstress's tape ... to ascend and descend the heights of fake hillsides ... and then when all is done ... to say farewell to those tiny men, those little soldiers of tactical simulation. Until next time .... goodbye ... goodbye ...

Love the old books.
