Special TITAN gaming day, Sunday, July 1st

This classic game of the Fantasy Monster Slugathon is a standby from the Avalon Hill of yor. The game is divided into two realms, the masterboard and the battleboards. On the masterboard, legions of mythical creatures roam about trying to recruit bigger and badder monsters and kill opposing legions in the process. When a combat occurs, the space is 'blown-up' by moving the action to the corresponding battleboard type. After lots of dice are tossed, the victor is returned to the masterboard with the spoils of war: points. The Titan is the player's alter-ego, and the Titans' fate and the players' fate are one and the same.

We will be playing one or more games of Titan depending on the number of players we end up with. I should have at least 3 sets available, which should be plenty. But feel free to bring a Titan set just in case. If several players are eliminated early, as may be the case, they should be able to start a new game.
Two of the games will be run on a custom made “deluxe” Titan set. The "Deluxe" set expands the size of the playing surface dramatically and uses heavyweight poker chips for counters.

Follow the link above to the BoardGameGeek entry for Titan which includes reviews, pictures, rules and other playing aids and strategy articles. There are several pictures of the custom Titan set, that you may be playing on, viewable there. They are the ones using poker chips, uploaded by BGG user Nick.
I suspect most players will know how to play already. And I hope 1st time players will take the time to read the rules prior to playing. They are available for download at the link above. That said, I am willing to help/teach any beginners.
Please note all players will need to pay a $3.50 session fee for 'rent' for the Studio of Bridge and Games. Since this is not formally an SWA Game-a-thon, the session fee is handled a little differently.
Unless people object, I plan on recording the scores, and posting them on the SWA website as a Blog. Thought it would be fun.

TITAN-a-thon was a success
We had two 4-player games going in the morning. And four of us stayed to play a second game.
When I get a chance I will post the results of the 3 games.
Thanks to all who attended.

BTW we've got 6+ players so far. So there will be at least 2 games going simultaneously. Both on "deluxe" sets.

If you plan on attending the Titan-a-thon let me know.
Post here, on BGG, PM, email, whatever. Just want to get a rough head count.
Thanks

You can count me in for this one.
Can we pre-reg or should we just pay when we show up?
I think for general purposes and ease of keeping track of interest we ought to keep some kind of attendance sheet running or something.

I don't know if you can pre-reg, but I don't think so. You shouldn't need to though.
There should be plenty of room to accommodate all. I'll have at least 3 sets available, and I doubt we'll get 18!
