FMGC 2013 - Gaming Convention - GTA CANADA

Rematch?

More like Remassacre.

You know I’m in!

And so do i !

i’m looking forward to going this year. this will be my first time attending, i hope some of the guys that attended in previous years can answer a few questions.

should i bring my axis and allies games, or will there be plenty on hand?
do we need to sign up for games or just show up and hope someone wants to start at the same time as you?

• should i bring my axis and allies games, or will there be plenty on hand?

There should be plenty on hand (most people bring games and we have a games library for people to pick from as well) but if you want to bring one or two games just in case, there’s no reason not to (unless you don’t have room for them).  Typically there are several games set up already to go.

• do we need to sign up for games or just show up and hope someone wants to start at the same time as you?

With very few exceptions (Midnight Munchkin Madness for example) you can just get a game going and there are no actual sign ups.  Check out www.fmgcon.com and go to the discussion forums there to find games that people ARE looking for people to “sign up” for (no hard commitment required, it’s just that some people would like to, hopefully, guarantee at least one shot at a particular game and there are a few signups set up there already).

@FieldMarshalGames:

If you plan to attend please register soon.  The costs on the venue etc are mounting and we have only three regiatrations  :?

Thanks

I’m sure Gargantua is one of them… NO?  WTF MAN!

I tried to register this morning and I kept getting this screen when trying to sign up.

The only way I have been able to replicate this while trying to register for the event (ie : pay for admission) is to NOT fill out the “Name on Gamer Pass” field.

You have to fill out that field or you get this error.

Post a list of who’s registered,  if you would be so kind as to.

S.A.

I was the first!  S.A. I believe you were the second by a short amount of time?

I did fill it out.

I will try again though.

I tried again with a variety of name variants and it still gave me an error message every time I hit the buy now button.

I don’t know what to say.  Is there another way to pay?

However, I’ve fixed the registration page.  It seems (for some odd reason) the buy now button was broken.

For anyone who has tried to register, please try again.  It looks like it is working again!

The 1 year date has passed, but this years isn’t that far away

Can’t wait!

Well, it looks like I am coming!

It’s either that or I just made a $50 donation to the FMG cause.

I was thinking that I could bring all my playtesting material from my work on AA50 and AA40 for all to see a glimpse into how the process works.  A real look at how the sausage is made. :wink:

Note that FMGC has it’s own separate Paypal account now that is not connected or related to FMG in any way.

^ this … FMGCon is its own, entirely separate entity now that is not under the control of any single person or business but rather run by a committee with the goal of being financially self-sufficient.  /fingerscrossed!

It’s “The Field Marshal Gaming Convention” not “The Field Marshal Games Convention”.
