Council of Elrond

Greetings All, It’s my pleasure to announce that there will be MECCG at StrategiCon at the Los Angeles Airport (LAX) Hilton the weekend of 15-16 Feb 2020. There will be a slight change to the agenda starting this Con as I’m planning to be there only on Saturday and Sunday, but am hoping to stay on s...

Greetings All, This is a placeholder for MECCG in Vegas (IV) for Saturday, 25 Jan, and possibly Sunday 26 Jan as well. This is the weekend between the NFL conference championships and the Super Bowl, so there should be a lull in traffic in and around Vegas that weekend. Will confirm once we get clos...

Greetings All, I’ve come to enjoy these MECCG gatherings in Vegas for a number of reasons. Living just east of LA, the trip is a fairly easy 3.5-hour drive on a Saturday, since most of my fellow SoCal hooligans choose to drive to Vegas on Friday night and return on Sunday night. I also work from hom...

Greetings rezwits,

No problem at all--based on our conversations last month, we'd already made plans to revisit sometime in October for more MECCG in Vegas!

Feel better, and talk to you again soon!

Greetings All, Here is the full schedule I just submitted to the StrategiCon staff, including all the non-MECCG events I plan to run or participate in: - Friday, 30 Aug: 1:00-4:00 PM - MECCG Open/Casual Play - Friday, 30 Aug: 4:00-6:00 PM - KeyForge 101 - Friday, 30 Aug: 6:00-8:00 PM - KeyForge Seal...

Greetings All, Okay, so what I will do when I submit the schedules to the StrategiCon staff is arrange 2-hour windows in the afternoons, say, 11-1/1-3/3-5 for Saturday and Sunday, which means we rotate opponents after a 2-hour 1v1 game. I'll still leave Friday afternoon/evening open-ended for MECCG,...

Sounds like a plan! We'll be sure to make time for a 1-1 dream cards game sometime in the afternoon--I've had a Dain Dwarf-Lord deck that hasn't changed much in 3 years, so am eager to keep testing it out. I drive between home and LAX each day of the convention, so the earliest I can show is about 1...

Greetings All, Am pleased to announce that there will be MECCG at StrategiCon/Gateway 2019 over the Labor Day weekend, 30 Aug-1 Sep, at the Hilton Hotel beside the Los Angeles International Airport! Following are the time windows I've reserved for MECCG events, we can be flexible depending on attend...

Greetings All, Still recuperating from the StrategiCon weekend, a bit more tired than usual--probably getting old, and the musty hotel air wasn't doing me much good either, lol! In between other games, I participated in three Hero Arda games that were probably the most benign we've had at the LAX Hi...

Greetings All,

The full schedule for StrategiCon at LAX/Hilton for the Memorial Day holiday weekend is up and running (please see link below)--I have a full slate of MECCG sessions plus a lot of other things, hope to see you all there:

Greetings All, Just a quick update, we will have MECCG at Kingdom-Con (Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Diego) on Friday 12 April and Saturday 13 April . Gandalf Gene and CDavis7M are confirmed for both days, while I will be available on Friday but not Saturday (participating in the Game of Thrones CCG tou...

Greetings All, Just saw a posting on the Kingdom-Con Web site that this 10th anniversary event will be their last one--now that we just fit the event into our MECCG schedule, so sad! So, if you're available for MECCG in San Diego, we will be there at the Crowne Plaza in the hotel circle on Friday, 1...

Greetings Chris,

Sounds like a plan! I'll bring Gene's Hero Arda for Friday, and for Saturday we'll focus on pre-constructed decks and the usual deep discussions on deck design. See you there!

Greetings Chris, I talked with Gandalf Gene yesterday and we can actually commit to all day Friday, especially when I mentioned to him that the convention actually starts on Thursday. I am actually available part of Saturday as well, aside from the Game of Thrones CCG tourney I'm participating in. A...
