I was too excited to take pictures! I brought my camera, but left it in my hotel room. I took some pics with my phone, but like a kid on Christmas morning, forgot all about it most of the time I was there. But, anyway, here are a couple pics:
Here is a picture of the vendor hall. I was telling my wife that I need to alter my schedule with conventions a bit. I need to make sure I go and spend at least a couple hours there the first day, but then I need to make sure I have a night to 'sleep on it' and come back the next day. The first few minutes are TOTALLY overwhelming to me.
I played in my first zombie game (ATZ) on Friday night. I had been wanting to see how it played, and I got my opportunity.
Oh noes! A fire at the baby milk factory! Firefigthers are reporting aggressive and violent behavior from the survivors escaping the factory!
Officers Fackler and Kirkland, among other members of the police force, are called in.
Whats going on???? Survivors??? More like zombies!!! One of the other officers are swarmed early on by the raging mob. Oh the horror! (actually, this worked out well - the feasting zombies cleared the way for Officers Fackler and Kirkland to complete their objective - entering the factory, and turning off something HAH! I dont really know I was turning off - I just know that it helped in causing zombies to not come out of a spawn location!!!)
The surviving first responders (the army and a biohazard team showed up looking to exterminate everything in the area - no pics of that!) make their way to the boat dock and attempt to escape. Officer Kirkland holds off the dock, trying to cover the remaining survivors. In the next turn, Kirkland, as well as three other officers are killed and eaten. REST IN PEACE, OFFICER!
Six officers out of a beginning 12 (6 players, each controlling two police officers) managed to escape the baby factory fiasco, including Officer Fackler. However, two of those 6 had taken infecting wounds from the zombies and started the zombie apocalypse!!!!!
Overall, it was a good time. I love the zombie generation system of the game, as well as the objectives that we needed to accomplish. After seeing how the zombies swarm to a downed player, I can see some serious opportunities to wreak havoc to save your own ass.
And for 'budget reporting' purposes, I spent about $450 in the vendor hall....
Excellent stuff, that zombie game looked great, good you survived and that airport security weren't too hard on you, they should be used to small metal miniatures in luggage by now.$450.....about £375, not bad, you'll have to let us know what you got.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Fackler to the rescue! Looks like a good time. NICE dealer room picture.
