Join us here at Fantasy Games and Hobbies for the Science Fiction Society of Northern New Jersey's third annual King of Games Day Event. So here is what you need to know:
When is King of Games Day III? Saturday August 13, 2011 starting around 1pm at Fantasy Games and Hobbies.
What is King of Games Day? Well, it is an entire day devoted to nothing but playing games, learning games, and teaching others about the games we like best. Board Games, Role Playing Games, and Wargames feature heavily, in the event, and it is a pretty laid back and casual affair.
Why is it called King of Games Day? It has to do with one of the first events of the first Open Gaming Night of the SFSNNJ, during a King of the Hill match. I cannot reveal details, but will say that it involves a bad Charlton Heston impression.
Who is Charlton Heston? Is he a member of the SFSNNJ? Charlton Heston is an actor. Please check IMDB for details. Why am I answering questions about Charlton Heston? Oh, right: Page Views!
How can I participate? Show up. Simple as that. There are no fees, dues, subscriptions, human sacrifices, or other obligations required other than the desire to play games, have fun, and meet people. If you want to play: show up ready to play. ;D
Can I run a game? Of course, but there are a few rules to running games at King of Games Day.
1) Let me know that you are interested so I can promote it through the SFSNNJ website and Meetup portals.
2) The Game must be current and available for purchase or order through our generous Hosts at Fantasy Games and Hobbies. No homebrew systems (homebrew settings using established systems are great though)
3) The Game must be structured to introduce new interested players to the mechanics and concepts of the system.
4) You must be willing to teach people how to play.
5) You must provide all players with characters, models, and any other supplies necessary to make the game run smoothly.
6) The game must be PG. This is a public place and there may be kids and parents participating, so do not structure an adult-themed adventure where avoidable.
7) You must be totally out of your mind.... with FUN!
So what are people looking to play?

For centuries the secretive Ordo Xenos, the branch of the Imperial Inquisition responsible for studying and destroying the alien enemies of the Empire of Man, has held prisoner scores of Xenos upon which they could experiment to learn the best ways to defeat them and preserve Humanity. Now the vile traitors of the Chaos Space Marines have freed the alien captives and armed them, and as a battle rages outside the space station, Xenos and Humans fight corridor by corridor seeking final victory. Now, two teams will command these forces as they fight for dominance in the crowded halls of the massive station.
