OMG! Heading to FFG!!!!!!

By atkrull, in X-Wing

So it's my birthday this weekend and my wife has graciously allowed me to officially "Geek Out" at the Mecca of X- Wing (The FFG Game Center)! I am so pumped to do nothing but start drinking at noon (hopefully they serve beer that early) and play nothing but X - Wing!

I am sending out official challenges to anyone in the area to blow off work Friday afternoon, and try to beat the multitude of squads I will be bringing :)

Frank, Alex, Wade, or anyone else affiliated with X-Wing, if you are reading this I would love to get more pilot cards signed by the FFG Staff. I currently have 2 Franks, 1 James, 2 Alex, and 1 Paul heaver ( because you know it freak'n Paul Heaver!) I am looking to expand the collection! So if anyone on the staff is wondering who that crazy tall, blonde guy from Iowa that is drinking in the Game center at noon is... he's the guy that would love to get your autograph and maybe as an added bonus get his butt kicked by the ones who make this wonderful game!

Can't wait!

Nerd.

Happy birthday, bring a credit card or two, you might want to spend some money. :P.

Congrats my friend and happy birthday! I'd love to have such a get-away myself but I am terrible at this game lol. Good luck to you.

There'll probably be rando casual play all day but organized play on Saturdays don't start until 8PM and run until close. If you really want to binge, I suggest doing the free 4PM win-a-ship tournament at Mead Hall in downtown Minneapolis, then go to FFG for Late Night.

Can I drink beer and play X wing at Mead hall?

*fixed that for you

No, but there'll for sure be other people to play against and timing is such that you can always go play Late Night @ FFG after.

Please beg for the TIE Avenger and Assault Gunboat while you're there.

Have FUN!

:)

Very cool that you got Frank and Alex to sign some cards!

Can someone repost the Facebook link to the renegade tournament this Friday at the ffg game center? The previous link didn't work for me.

It appears there's not a ton of info on their website (and the links to rules appear to be for last years). It also looks like the event was posted inside the closed TC X-Wing group, so I'll just copy and paste the info:

Another Reminder: X-Wing Will be at the Renegade Open (Friday December 4th) this year. Registration starts on friday at 2pm and tournament will start at 3pm. We have some very cool prizes which will be announced shortly.

100 points
Rounds Based on turnout.
25$ entry fee

Additional Rules:
Players begin the day by telling the Tournament Organizer who their wingmate is (Players may form a two player team) their overall tournament scores are added up at the end of the swiss rounds and the best team will win a prize!

Oh man that sounds great, I thought it was going to be an epic 2 man team battle. I kind of like this format with the wingman.

Since the hyperlink didn't work last time here is the URL.

Edit: I see the problem now - the event has been created for the closed TCXW group so if you're not in it you can't see the event at all. I'd start by asking for permission to join the group (no one is denied anyway) then you can see the full event details.

Currently we're at 9 going and 22 maybes.

Grilled cheese. Get the fantasy flight grilled cheese sandwich at the ffg center. You won't regret it.

Take your models to FFG Centre. Strike down the lists you encounter with all of your hatred and your journey towards the nerd side will be complete!
