New Events for 2010! Battlefront’s Flames of War, Privateer Press, and More…
That’s right! For years we have heard your requests, and with a year under our belt at our new venue, AdeptiCon is answering the call! AdeptiCon 2010 will see additional space for even more events!
Stemming from our past partnership with Gale Force 9 (http://www.gf9.com), and drawing on the experience of AdeptiCon veterans Joe Krone and Dave Taylor, we are partnering with Battlefront to provide a full slate of Flames of War events over the weekend. Additionally, Dean Rapp and his GameKorps (http://www.gamekorps.net) group will be bringing their immense experience to AdeptiCon, helping run a series of high caliber Flames of War events.
AdeptiCon is also very excited to have Andrew Hartland (Privateer Press Ganger Extraordinaire) on board this year to help organize and run a full slate of Privateer Press events. Some of you may be familiar with Andrew’s work at Templecon (http://www.templecon.org/10/). Whether you play Warmachine, Hordes, Grind, or Monsterapocalypse…AdeptiCon will have a Privateer Press event on the 2010 schedule for you.

Most importantly, we look forward to the camaraderie. Events such as AdeptiCon provide the perfect chance to spend some time with friends, old and new alike, for a weekend packed full of everything that makes our hobby so fantastic. See you in Chicago!
