Time Machine Pre-Con
May 14, 2009

Demonstration: Sun., Aug. 2 at 10 a.m.
Mulligan Round: Sun., Aug. 2 at Noon
Sun., Aug. 2 at 6 p.m.
thru Tues., Aug. 4
Lancaster Host, Lancaster PA

Welcome to the first Time Machine mini-con which features dedicated play of Through the Ages, with a Mulligan Round before the SE tournament gets underway on Sunday night at 6 p.m. Win in the Mulligan round and advance directly to the second round. Lose, and you get the chance to play again in the first round. The default will be three-player games, with two-player games as necessary. Players will be paired at random in the Mulligan and first round, except that players who played in a 2-player game in the Mulligan will be preferentially placed into 3-player games in the first round. Not actually part of WBC proper, Time Machine is sort of an opening skirmish for those who can't get enough of a good thing.

Is Centurion status in your future? Send out a patrol to Time Machine for an early start to your gaming Campaign week. Or if a stay for all of WBC isn't possible, get your gaming fix during the pre-con weekend. WBC’s Time Machine Pre-Con begins on Sun., Aug. 2, and wraps up on Tues., Aug. 4, before WBC proper begins.

WBC attendees have long lamented the many conflicts between their favorite events. So many games, so little time! The compromise solution has been to offer a few early events in the form of Pre-Cons to those who would like to maximize the gaming derived from their travel expense without seriously detracting from the rest of the week for those unable to attend earlier. With play in a Pre-Con, those making the pilgrimmage to WBC can get more bang for their travel buck while increasing the number of events they can play during a glorious eight-day stint of uninterrupted gaming if they so choose. Valhalla for gamers…here on Earth and only at WBC.

Tribune members may freely partake in all of BPA’s Pre-Cons during the two days preceding WBC. Play at Time Machine requires a separate registration fee of $10 for BPA Sustaining level members pre-registered by July 25, or $30 for all others, payable to the BPA, 1541 Redfield Rd, Bel Air, MD 21015. This fee can be paid separately or in addition to other WBC fees noted on the WBC pre-registration form.

WBC special room rates at the Lancaster Host, Continental Inn, and Red Roof Inn apply to all days of the pre-con. See our travel and accommodations page for details.
