Gen Con

2007 Gen Con Game Slate Released
 
The Fight in the Skies Society's entire schedule for Gen Con Indy 2007 is now available and is published below. Participation in running games apepars to be up up this year with six judges set to run events, including Indy's own Rick Lacy who will once again handle the 8am Sunday slot that was devoted to 2006's legendary "Alternate Universe" DP game. Rick will spend this year's Sunday morning game on his favorite passtime - killing people with ground fire - in "Blast It," an August 1918 affair against a heavily fortified ground target (stay on mission!).
 
Also featured this year are Gen Con favorites including the "World's Largest Dawn Patrol Game" on Saturday morning and the new fan favorite, the "Gen Con Open."
 
In an effort to continue building the growing popularity of the latter event George Henion has secured an engraved goblet for the winner (if its silver, expect a copyright infringement lawsuit from RBF!). Both events have great prizes available for everyone. Here is the full 2007 Gen Con Dawn Patrol schedule:
