Oh my.
That agenda looks great. I somewhat feel urged to try and duplicate the concept in Europe.

It would be great to see Ameritrash cons all over the world. We're cheating a little bit with Trashfest 2008 in that we don't have to build up a con from the ground up. The event is part of Game Club of Maryland's Gamedays a yearly event for the last 7 years that draws about 150 people a year. By sharing an event with somebody else, they can take care of the boring stuff like hotel, reservations, money, food, vending, etc. and all we have to take care of is playing games. If you can find a local wargaming or Eurogaming show contact the person and see if they would be willing to share the convention. Many times they will be because it may bring in more people and save them money.

This week we started thinking about prizes for the people who attend and win Trashfest. At WBC and Euroquest the winner of a tournament usually win a plaque or "Wood". We could give out a plaque to the winner of Trashfest but some how that seems pretty lame. I think the winner of Trashfest should get a flamethrower or something cool. It would be cool to give the winner of trashfest a toy Malloc robot that would give everyone the figure and say Euros suck when you press a botton. If you have any great ideas let me know soon.

How about one of these?



ETA, well I guess we aren't going to use one of those as a trophy. What turds those guys are.

Currently, most of the games we're featuring at Trashfest are newer releases (after 2000). Recently, I’ve talked to a few Euro gamers who use to play older AH games. I think there is a number of people who would love to play an old AH game but never do because of time and the problem of getting players together. The number one goal of Trashfest is to provide a location where people can play some of these longer Ameritrash games. So, we may be adding one or two new feature games (Advanced Civilization and/or Dune) are the most likely games.

If you can affort a prize from troll and toad you must be fucking rich!
