Legends of Summer 2008

[davidmorton]

Hiya folks,

Legends of Summer is on again - February 16 & 17, 2008.

We will have Warhammer Fantasy, Magic: The Gathering & a variety of Eurogames & boardgames.

If you have something special that you would like to see & play over the 2 days, let us know here or by emailing [e-mail]

I estimate ('guess wildly') costs of tournaments to remain similar to previous events - previous costs have been about $30 for Warhammer, $5 or a booster for Magic & Free or up to $5 maximum for others. (I emphasise that these estimates could be wrong since I haven't chatted with the game organisers yet!)

Stay tuned for more details.

See ya,
David

In view of Gen Con Oz being on 3 - 6 July 2008 should we skip Legends Winter this year??

Or move it to September 2008???

[shags]

No.

Hiya,

In my opinion, we should never cancel any of our events due to other events. Our events are annual & regular.

We have found weekends that, to my knowledge, do not conflict with anyone else's event.

There are few weekends these days that are free, if we change, we would possibly interfere with some other event.

If there is an event prior to ours, we should promote our event there. If an event is after ours, they should promote theirs with us. In this way, we can build up interest in gaming & hopefully benefit all.

Thanks for reading,
David

I would think Gen Con would give us a boost more than anything else.

I've asked Gencon for a roped off are where we can promote the club and demo games for a number of days

Hiya folks!

Being a sad, pathetic kind of gamer that likes to sit down for hours taking over the galaxy slowly & with complexity...

Are there any like-minded individuals that would like to play Twilight Imperium &/or Starcraft over the Legends of Summer weekend?

I'm thinking about Sat Feb 16 9am - 12pm, lunch, 1pm - 4pm for Twilight Imperium & Sun Feb 17 9am - 12pm, lunch, 1pm - 4pm for Starcraft.

Does that sound fun, or what?

I'm also thinking free entry with a framed certificate for the winner(s) proclaiming them Absolute Supreme Leader of an appropriate galaxy or a similar message to demonstrate the deserved respect of their peers...

Let me know here, or via email [e-mail]

See ya,

I quite like long strategic games. Haven't played Twilight Imperium but I would like to learn it. I very much like Starcraft, and was actually hoping to get in more games of it even outside of club meetings. I think Eddie has the only copy and isn't on these forums often though.

Hiya Ben & any other Starcraft keen folk,

I now have a shiny new game of Starcraft (Thanks to Mrs Santa's generosity!) and I am on holiday 'til Jan 10. I also have a copy of Twilight Imperium.

My good days for playing either of these are: Jan 2,3,7,8,9,10 from about 9am. Email me on [e-mail] with your available days, preferred game & contact details & I'll see if we can get a group together.

The venue will be my place (near Cav Rd High) which also includes my kids who will occupy themselves &/or play with your kids.

Ben - there's also a chance we might take the kids skating this weekend. Not totally sure yet, depends upon the boss, but email me your details for easier contact. Ta.

See ya,
David
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Definitely go forward with your plans for Winter Legends.

We are going to work as closely as we can with all of the clubs in Queensland (in particular LXG) and whatever other clubs from around Australia who want to come along and participate.

We have a few announcements up our sleeve for Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Fantasy, LOTR and Flames of War (amongst other hundreds of sessions across the 4 days) that we hopefully will be anouncing in the new year. More later.

So as Shags said. No. Don't cancel or move Winter Legends. There is a good distance between Gen Con Australia and Legends, and we are happy to promote your event.

Will pokemon feature?

Thanks
Elliot

I'll talk to Darren Catton, who plays Pokemon, and see if he will organise a tournament for Legends.

Hiya folks,

Legends of Summer is on again - February 16 & 17, 2008.

We will have Warhammer Fantasy, Magic: The Gathering & a variety of Eurogames & boardgames both short & long.

I'm looking forward to playing Twilight Imperium for a whole day! Woo hoo. And maybe following that with Puerto Rico.

See the list of games on offer by following the links to Legends on our website.

Note: Players are not constrained by this list - if you have a bunch of folk that want to play one of the many (heaps & heaps of games!) other games in our library, go right ahead.

See au.geocities.com/qldlegs for details.

See ya,

This year we purchased two perpetual shields (one Open and the other Junior) for the players who scored the highest number of points playing in the board games competitions across the weekend.

These shields will be presented at the march meeting.

Keith
