(Note: Most of the weekend's games will be informal and unstructured, so bring any game you want to play. We'd like to get an idea of which games to set up at the event as well as to help you find opponents. Spots also fill up quickly for the multi-player games of Wellington, Sword of Rome, and Here I Stand that we intend to play. To that end, we invite you to list four games you'd most like to play during the weekend.

We MAY add a couple more "come as you are" tourneys before October if we get GMs who are willing to run them. If you're interested in GMing an event, please let us know.

Games you want to play at the event (list your top 4, please):

The GMT warehouse is located about one and a half miles from a mall and several shopping complexes that include Chili's, Applebees, Denny's (that's open 24 hours), Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Cold Stone Creamery, and a variety of fast food establishments. Mounds and mounds of other food locations are within ½ mile of the mall. We'll provide Pizza at no charge for everyone on Saturday night, and will have soft drinks and snacks available for purchase inside the game room during gaming hours.

Attendees will need to make your own arrangements for Lodging. We have secured group/corporate pricing with the Sequoia Inn (approx $70/night single, $75 double). (They are just across the street from the mall complex mentioned above) Just let them know you are with the GMT group to get the rate. Here is the hotel contact information:
