GenCon Indy 2009

Registration opens this Sunday and our events are now listed in the downloadable catalog. Here's what we have in store for you this year:


AE-WWII: Black Gold

As World War II grinds into mid-1946 oil becomes more valuable than human life. Backed by super-science and occult troops, Axis and Allied forces struggle to keep the oil flowing.

Friday, August 14th, 11:00 AM

AE-WWII: Competitive Campaign

The first ever AE-WWII competitive campaign! Bring your painted detachment for a three-round tournament where Axis and Allied players fight for control of a vital position on the Eastern Front.

Saturday, August 15th, 11:00 AM

AE-Bounty

The new sci-fi miniature game from Darkson Designs is here! Take the role of mercenaries, bounty hunters or pirates as they fight for the scraps of a fallen galaxy. Come learn to play Alien Encounters-Bounty.

Sunday, August 16th, 11:00 AM
Sunday, August 16th, 2:00 PM


The AE-WWII events will follow our standard 'tree-style' campaign, with the outcome of each game affecting the ones following it. There are only eight slots per event, so register for them before they fill up!

On Saturday we will be running our first ever competitive campaign! This will be a three-round tournament where games follow a 'tree-style' campaign similar to those we've run at GenCon in the past. Full competitive campaign rules will be released in an Over the Wire prior to GenCon, so keep an eye out!

Finally, we will be debuting AE-Bounty at GenCon Indy! Sunday we are running two events, which will take the form of a mini-campaign that is sure to be a blast. Eight slots per event, so sign up quickly.

We will be sharing a booth with the guys from Pulp City and running demos of both AE-WWII and AE-Bounty. Once we know where the booth will be located, we'll let you know. Be sure to stop by the booth for a demo and to get access to the 'convention only' Bounty and WWII models. Can't wait to see you all there!

You should still be able to watch.

Who knows, maybe one of the lucky few will be called away mid-game and you can step in for them

[Darkson]

Or drop by the Darkson booth and get a demo game of Bounty in.

[malkcntent]

There's always room for you, Mike!

I'm stoked the events are filling up fast. The 2pm slots for AE-WWII are nearly filled and Bounty is all but spoken for! Thanks for the support guys, I look forward to seeing everyone there!

[pacerfan]

I did get all the other AE events (except for the tourn) so am excited about that.

I'll definitely stop by and see how things are going either at the booth or at the event for my Bounty fix.

[turtle]

Wow, already sold out the events and the show is still over 3 months away. Nice.

[Darkson]

Feel free to drop by the games as we always have some open slots.

[mkcontra]

Going to be beeeeeeezzeeeeeee

[Darkson]

Yes Yes you are.

[turtle]

So, is the occult book coming out before, during, or after Gencon? I got some others interested in the game, but they mainly want to run occult forces, namely British and SS.

[Darkson]

Before the con. You could say we hit a few bumps along the way and hope to get the book out as soon as we work through the issues.

[turtle]

Perfect, thanks. They're be really happy to hear that, and so will I since my friend wants to get his All SS Werewolves army going, and I look forward to showing those doggies that a little electricity works just as well as silver.

Kinda sad I'm gonna miss this. I've played in a AE-WWII event the last two years... but decided to try Origins this year.

[malkcntent]

I'm happy to say that both AE-Bounty events have been filled up! There are still slots open for the Thursday and Friday AE-WWII events, so jump on them if you haven't.

We've had little to no response about the competitive campaign and I thought I'd hit folks up about it. For those of you planning to attend GenCon this year, what is it about the tournament that you're not interested in. My initial thoughts are: the fully-painted detachment requirement, the six-hour time commitment, a lack of interest in competitive play and the lack of posted rules for the tournament.

Please post your thoughts here and/or drop me a line and let me know what you think. If we don't get any takers, we'll drop the event and add a few more. Looking forward to your feedback!
