Geek Fest 2012: August 2012

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

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.

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.

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.

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.
