Hey everyone!
The East Bay California Meta is thinking about running a series of AGOT tournaments at Kubla this year. It falls on the last weekend in May. Advance purchses get you a full weekend pass for only $35! So, I just want to know if there is still interest for a Con Tournament. Will California show up? Are people still willing to travel for this game? We have a pretty big crew here now, but just want to gauge the interest in bringing Kubla nack to its former glory.

I'll be there for sure and I'll see if I just can't bring a few others with me.
I might even get a room out at the hotel like I did last year so I can stay up all night and game/have fun.
KUBLA!!!!!
A Game of Thrones at KublaCon is official. Joust and Melee events for Saturday May 29 and Sunday May 30 respectively are up under the proposed event section. With the popularity of the new LCG format, we are really excited to be bringing Thrones to Kubla again this year. The California East Bay Meta (with help from Southern California die hards) will be running the events. As stated, Joust and Melee are already scheduled...with a tentative third event being discussed for Saturday evening after the Joust. Prize support will be substantial...anyone that has played at Calicon or in one of our bigger meta tournaments knows we love to give stuff away!
Traditionally, Kublacon has been a great locale for competitive thrones, and this year should be no exception. FULL weekend passes (gets you admission to ALL games over the weekend) are only $35 until February 28th. That's a real steal. Also, if you are thinking of travelling and looking for a room to split the cost for, just post something in this thread. We'll figure it out.
Thrones at Kubla!
Details are now up on KublaCon's website for the Joust and Melee Thrones events.
Awesome, glad to see a showing at Kubla. And, no, I won't be attending. But I think that organizing events like this is the next step in convincing FFG that they need a more structured OP program. Let's face it we're in the begining of February and there have been no "regionals" requests. And Kubla would definitely be one of those, if the program existed.
KublaCon Update!
A Game of Thrones now has 3 superb events scheduled for KublaCon weekend in Burlingame, California for May 29-30.
Saturday 11am-5pm : LCG Joust Tournament, 4-5 rounds of Swiss with a cut to top 8 and single elimination.
Saturday 6pm-11pm : Legacy and LCG CUBE draft! If you have never experienced draft, this is your chance to experience an incredibly fun format. All draft supplies are provided...all you need do show up ready to put your skills to the test. Draft may be the most fun, unpredictable format in Thrones.
Sunday: 10am-4pm: LCG Melee. We will have 3-4 table rounds, with a cut to the final four table. Melee is the ultimate test of skill and awareness. Pit yourself against three opponents at once for some seriously mind-bending and swingy play. There's no telling who will finish atop the midden heap in a melee!
The Ironmen of the Easy Bay would like to invite all California players to this amazing Con. Even if you're not from California, there are many that can attest to the quality and fun of KublaCon. There are so many games to choose from, a weekend spent here will never be boring. Come on, make the trip, you know you want to!
