Origins 2007
« on: September 20, 2006, 06:16:30 PM »
Origins will again be held on Columbus, OH on the following dates - July 5-8, 2007.

As we have for several years the Midwest Crusaders will be hosting numerous Warzone and Chronopia events.

You might be asking yourself why I am posting about Origins 10 months in advance. There are several reasons.
1) So that everyone can begin thinking about scheduling time off next year.
2) As a reminder to those of us that plan on hosting events that we have to be ready in time to make the pre-reg
3) So that those of you who plan on attending can make event and/or tournament requests
4) To invite anyone interested in submiting events to join us so that all Warzone/Chronopia events are run in the same area.

Last year there were several present and former forumites at Origins although not all of them had the time to play. They were committed to other activities as there was no Warzone/Chronopia in the pre-reg. I blame myself for that. The demise of Excelsior contributed to this failure but I make no excuses - I was tasked with getting events in and I failed. Not this year - this year there is nothing to cloud our vision and the Midwest Crusaders are united in helping me make this the best Origins ever.

Do you need ideas or any terrain support?

Sounds familiar - I say that just about every year when asked if I am going to make Dexcon

Anyone wanting to run events for Warzone/Chronopia are encouraged to get them to me by Thanksgiving. I will be submitting events for the Midwest Crusaders as close to 01 Dec as I can. We always have a dedicated space in the Mini Hall so if you are one of us or if you want to run your events in the same area please get them to me so I can submit them as a block of events along with ours. I am hoping to have 12+ Warzone events, 8+ Chronopia events,  and maybe even a few Legions of Steel events as several forumites have expressed a desire to play LoS.

Currently I have Coldthunder's 4 events and I know I am running 4 so we have at least 8 events in the works already. Stalker has told me he is in and will get me events after he returns from the academy. I also know One King and Sylvas are developing ideas right now. Others are trying to nail down time off for the Con so 20 events should not be a problem.

So far the biggest head-ache is deciding if we travel on the 4th of July and celebrate Independence Day in Columbus or if we lose a day of gaming and drive in on Thursday. Right now we are pretty evenly split on that question.

     I am seriously thinking of making this one(con).  Its a bit of a drive for me but who knows, I'm used to road trips.  I don't know if I'm qualified to run an event but I would help out any way I can.

If you understand the rules you are qualified to run. Some of us who have been running at Origins were Cruaders but others ran their first Con events only a year or so ago. If you want to come then you can either submit events on your own or send them to me and I will submit them as a part of our groups. If you want them submitted as a part of the groups then I would need the events by Thanksgiving. BTW - If you run 16 hours worth of events your Judge Badge is free - or at least that is the way it has been done the last few years.

Topkick,

I just sent you a PM, and would love to volunteer my time and services.

I just have to find crashspace now!

It will be very keen to meet more W/C enthusiasts as well..anyone from New England want to share gas?

A hotel for the 4 days averages about 400 - 500 bucks. Get 3 other guys and it would only cost you about 100 to 125 a night and if you run 16 hrs your badge should be free. That leaves food, parking and shopping in the Dealers Room. Sounds kinda high but you got 8 months so it is possible.

Mayhaps, the PA/NJ/DE delegation may have to show up to bring a little right-coast smackdown.  I will have to see if the wife will let me go, and then round up the boys.
