Ground Zero Games East Coast Convention Pre-Registration Open!

This year, this fun gaming convention has been moved to Owego, NY which is only 4 hours or so south of the Canada-US border at the Ivy Lea bridge, a short jaunt down I-81 to near Binghampton, NY.

The convention will be held February 26th to 28th, 2010.

I'm running an event Saturday Evening called "Stargate:Rough Men". For those interested, other events I'm in include the Traveller-themed Defense of Steelport Saturday morning run by my friend Mark Kinsey, Kra'Vak Around The Clock Friday night run by Mike Sarno, probably Geezers! Shut It! run by the crazy English cancer geneticist (and I'm not kidding with any of those tags) Dr. Stuart Murray on Saturday afternoon, and Bush War run by Mark Kinsey on Sunday morning.

I expect, as per usual, there will be a variety of gaming done by the Ottawa contingent after hours - card or board games until we are too tired to function.

The schedule and summary of games can be found here.

The convention always loves new people and with it so close to Ottawa and Kingston and Toronto, there's not such a good excuse as in other years to miss out!

The precis of my event:

"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." - Winston Churchill

An SG team has missed a second radio contact while on a covert reconnaisance operation to penetrate an alien complex that intelligence suggests is also of interest to the Goa'uld.

SG-21 (the player team) has been tasked with attempting to quietly locate the missing covert operations team and then assisting them in completing their reconnaisance mission. If the missing SG team cannot be found or is not operationally capable, SG-21 may be required to take the lead in completing the original mission.

This mission may be a combat search and rescue op, a quiet rendezvous and support op, or a recovery op and any of these may involve a direct action component. The situation is fluid, intelligence on the ground at the target is very minimal, and the risks are unknown....

... which is a pretty normal day at Stargate Command. This probably also explains why SG team members are volunteers!
