Tournament 007: Who’s Scruffy Looking?

Welcome to Nerfherder! A once a year event spanning two days, where 132 players are encouraged to bring their own prizes and raffle/auction them off. Through that and the entry fee, all funds generated are sent to the Hull Royal Infirmary so the kids will have toys to play with.

The location, Element Games in Stockport. The outside of the building gives off the appearance of a dilapidated warehouse. On the inside it’s a hobbyist’s wet dream. Shelves stacked with games I’ve never even heard of, walls covered with terrain pieces, there’s even an airbrushing table. AND A BAR!

Every time I travel north of the wall I always end up catching some kind of flu/fever a few days prior to put a downer on the whole trip. Four for four now this is getting ridiculous. Just once I’d like to visit my northern cousins without bringing the plague with me, am I asking too much?

Robots in disguise

So booked into the hotel I headed over the day before to get some practice games in. Had some battle of the bloggers with the dudes behind takingthesith, stayontheleader and whattheactualzuck. No xwinghipster yet. A man can dream.

I’m using the Jester Squadron again because I’ve seen the guest list and know just how tough it’s gonna be so only the best will do. It’s kinda ruined my creativity for tournament list building. There ain’t much that I can think of that’ll top it at present.
