Summer Game 'n Grill 2010 is June 19th at Essex Memorial Hall

Yes, it's true. We've finally locked down a date and place for  the first Green Mountain Game Day. Saturday, June 19th at Memorial Hall in Essex Village, Vermont, Green Mountain Gamers hosts the first annual Game 'n Grill.

Where and When
The 2010 Summer Game 'n Grill takes place on Saturday, June 19th, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. If you can't or don't want stay for the whole day, drop in when you can.
 
Memorial Hall is on Towers Road, just north of the intersection of Routes 15 and 128 in Essex. For directions and parking information, see the Summer Game 'n Grill page.
 
Games to Play
All tabletop games are welcome at Green Mountain Game Days: board games, miniatures, role-playing games, the whole megillah. We encourage people to share ahead of time what games they plan to share, so others can get suitably amped. Let us know via our Run a Game form and we'll post the information on the Summer Game 'n Grill page.

We're also working up some special treats, like a Dominion tournament, so keep an eye on the blog for more information on that.

What's Cooking?
The Summer Game 'n Grill in particular brings good food into the mix of good people and good games. We'll have a grill at the ready, so feel free to put some meat to the flame, or bring your preferred picnic-style comestibles.

How Much
While a Green Mountain Game Day doesn't have an admission fee, we do ask participants to make a $5-10 donation. This money goes directly to the cost of renting the hall and fuel for the grill. Any excess donated money helps pay for the next game day, helping to keep the gaming and good times rolling.

Carnage the 13th

Carnage, Vermont's longest-running tabletop game convention, is gearing up for their thirteenth year in 2010. As an all-out gaming convention, they welcome every kind of game that's played. They always try to strike a balance between old favorites and the new hotness, to use the modern parlance. Board games, card games, miniatures, role-playing games, LARPs, the whole shebang.

This year's theme is slasher horror, going by the fact that the horsemen of the apocalypse and their steeds are all wearing hockey masks. Should be a ripping good time!

This year, Carnage takes place at the Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, VT, November 5th through 7th. Submissions for events are now open via the website.
