Greetings All,

I've contacted the CCG Event Scheduling guru and he has confirmed the schedule submitted below--just waiting for an update to the official

See you all there, thanks!

Hello All,

I am new to the community, never played but have a set of the challenge decks in the mail. Won't be here in time for OrcCon sadly but I live in the Valley and will try to make it out and meet some of the players. Are any of you LA locals? I would love to find someone local who plays in case I can't make it. This game looks so amazing and already has me hooked and my cards haven't even got here yet.

Greetings TheGladsomeBeast,

Thanks so much for your message. Some of us who attend the LAX Hilton cons are "local" (LA, OC, and Riverside), while some are from elsewhere in the state. Turnout wasn't great this past weekend, but we were still able to do a Sunday afternoon multi-player session with mixed Hero and Fallen Wizard decks that went really well.

I'll post the tentative MECCG schedule for the con during Memorial Day weekend as soon as the organizers catch their breath from this past weekend. It's possible we can make arrangements before then, but our best bet is we can schedule an introductory session on Friday afternoon and evening, 26 May, in the con's CCG room. If you can make it then, please bring your challenge decks so that Gandalf Gene and I can give you a detailed overview of the game.

PM me or just post messages here in the forum if you have any questions, talk to you again soon.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I swung by the CCG room on Saturday but I wasn't able to make it until around 2 pm and I believe the meetup was scheduled for 1pm. I was sorry to have missed any of you who may have shown Saturday. It was my first StrategiCon/OrcCon and I loved it so I will definitely try to attend the Memorial Day weekend con and will bring my decks when I do. Hope to see you there.

Greetings Gladsome Beast,

Thanks again for the message, glad you were able to attend OrcCon this past weekend--I was actually there in the CCG room when you dropped by but was engaged in another game (Star Wars Destiny) at the time.

The Strategicon staff has cleared the boards from this past weekend, so I will be submitting the MECCG schedule for Memorial Day weekend shortly. If you can drop by during the Friday afternoon sessions, that would be best.

Stay tuned.
