It seems like we've got some momentum from the record-breaking attendance at last month's SWA Game-a-thon. GMs have been coming out of the woodwork to run games at the upcoming April 21st Thon. Ten games in the AM slot, nine games in the PM slot, and an all-day Napoleonic game as well. Huge! Needless to say, we have something for everyone. RPGs, historical minis, board games, space minis, rail game, classic games, Star Trek, monsters, Conan, Game of Thrones, Euro games, WW1, WW2, and more. It's all here. And, on top of all this, April is a Swap Meet month as well. Buy a table to sell your stuff. Bring your spare cash and get some good deals on used games. We'll send out another message to highlight the Swap Meet. Here's the outrageously impressive schedule preview... Both Sessions ( 11am - 10pm+ ) Morning Session ( 11am - 4pm )
Quarterly Swap Meet Three people have posted what they're bringing to the Swap Meet on the SWA web site. You can see those posts here: http://swa-gaming.org/node/1950 If you're bringing stuff too, we encourage you to post your inventory list as well. The more we do this, the more interest it will generate, which is good for everyone selling! For more information, including full event descriptions, click here for the April Game-a-thon page. Several event descriptions have links to
BoardGameGeek. Check them out for game reviews, pictures, rules and
player aids. We hope to see you there. |

WE NEED HEROES! - Pathfinder at ZP on Wednesdays |

Zombie Planet will be hosting Pathfinder Society adventures Wednesday nights. This Wednesday evening (3/21/2012) we will be having an interest/character building session from 8pm to 10pm. For those of you who are unaware the Pathfinder Role Playing Game is basically a cleaned up version of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 or for those in the know the 3.5 OGL. The Pathfinder Society (PFS) is the organized play program of Pathfinder that allows you to play and advance your character by participating in sanctioned sessions held around the world. Depending upon support and participation from the local gaming community we plan on running an adventure every Wednesday night from 6pm-10pm (starting 3/28/2012). More specifically over the next several weeks we will be running introductory scenarios for those of you who are interested in learning about the Pathfinder Role Playing Game and/or about the Pathfinder Society Organized Play program. Pre-generated characters are available for those of you who just want to show up and see what this is all about. Otherwise you are welcome to make your own character and jump right in. So come on down novice and veteran players alike, make some friends, roll some dice, slay some ogres and be who you are destined to be! More info on Pathfinder RPG: More info on Pathfinder Society: Zombie Planet: For more info about this event please contact Mike: galguth {at} gmail [dot] com. For more information about the Pathfinder Society in the Albany Capital Region contact Evan: CapitalRegionVC {at} gmail [dot] com. |

Game-a-thons: March = Record Attendance, April = Swap Meet |

Hello Capital District Gamers, March = Record Game-a-thon Attendance We are very happy to announce that the March 10th Game-a-thon had record attendance... and the old record (52) wasn't just surpassed, it was crushed! We had 67 attendees, and this doesn't even count the 6 who were present for the 2012 Northeast TITAN Championships (congratulations to Mycroft Sowizral!). Seventy-three gamers playing this past Saturday... Amazing! A big part of this surge can be attributed to two factors:
April 21st = Swap Meet Don't forget that once a quarter, we have a Swap Meet at Game-a-thon. That's this coming April 21st. Just in time for Spring Cleaning. This is a great time to clear those games off your shelf and put a few bucks in your pocket (or spend that cash on new games). Plan ahead on what you want to bring and sell. One table is only $2. If our attendance stays this high, you'll have lots of potential buyers. We're looking for GMs for April 21st. Right now we have commitments of Pathfinder RPG, RPGA D&D, and Conflict of Heroes (WW2 squad-level combat). You can sign up to run a game using this form: http://www.swa-gaming.org/GameathonEventRegistration or by contacting the Thon co-czar at Eric /at/ swa-gaming.org Or, you can request a game to be run here: http://www.swa-gaming.org/gameathonsuggestion Please submit your events by Saturday, March 31st. |
