Greenblood on a Blackrock 4714!

[Adam Daigle]

Returning for its sixth year at PaizoCon is...
Green Blood on a Black Rock!

Yes. It's that time again.

The first ships are already sailing into port and the small ramshackle town near the Black Rock is dusting out the inn, putting up tents, and making the place ready to accept the surge of free captains who come to drink, fight, gamble, and watch their prized beasties spill as much blood as possible on the rock. The captains are docking their ships and going ashore to carouse and get supplies, but soon they’ll be dragging their monsters out of their holds to get them ready to fight in the tournament. It's time for Green Blood on a Black Rock!!!

History of the event:

For those of you not familiar with the event, Mike Kortes started this event at the second PaizoCon in 2009 and I was lucky enough to be a player in the event. Since then it's been difficult for Mike to make it to thhe convention, so in 2010 Brandon Hodge and myself asked Mike if we could take it over.

Here's the first report of the first event. I played Inky

I haven't been the best at documenting it, but Sozin put together an awesome play by play from 4711.

I see the event is full, so what I want to know is...

Who are my free captains?

Step up and sound off!

[Caeliat]

The Skylight and her crew return to defend the title (and the dinner menu)!

I was so happy when I saw an open spot. My lottery draw was pretty lackluster, but the open signups are looking up so far.

[Adam Daigle]

Awesome! So glad you get to defend your title from last year! Good to have ya, cap'n!

[John Spalding]

I made the cut this year.

[Adam Daigle]

Welcome aboard!

[Benchak the Nightstalker]

I'm back for another try at the title!

[Charlie Bell]

My lotto buddy Mrs. Bell got a spot, but I was signed up to run a game that got cancelled and didn't get one myself! :((((

Show up and cheer for your favorite captain! :D

[Robert Brookes]

Oh Captain, my Captain!

[Robert Brookes]

Going to be rocking the reputation of the scabberous ratfolk pirate, Captain Slackjaw. Whether it's his mouth or everyone else's--yet to be determined.

Sorry you won't be there to compete, but it's cool that Mrs. Bell will be back in the competition. If you have the slot free, you should come by and cheer her on!

If I do, it'll only be for part of the time because of a seminar I plan on attending.

[Curaigh]

Cap'n Bowsprite won't be there, but he does need to talk with your bookies! Especially if another blue-biter gets in.

[Pegastar]

First year joining in on the fun! So glad I got in!

[Ask a Shoanti]

Yes!

It's back again!

Adam and Brandon rule!

Starts the chanting crescendo frenzy:

"Green Blood..."
"Black Rock..."
"Green Blood,"
"Black Rock,"
"Green Blood,"
"Black Rock,"
"Green Blood,"
"Black Rock,"
"Green Blood!!!"
"Black Rock!!!"

[Adam Daigle]

Sadly, Brandon isn't going to be at PaizoCon this year, so I'm running solo unless I can get someone to fill in as the bookie.

[Charlie Bell]

I'd be happy to pitch in. Hate to hear that Brandon won't be there this year, though!

[Adam Daigle]

Charlie, shoot me an email and we'll talk.

[Adam Daigle]

Looking forward to a bunch of good battles Friday morning! See y'all there!

[Caeliat]

And thus, Stompy is retired, off to a green, tasty pasture and lots of baby Stompies. Look for them on the Rock three seasons from now!

[Robert Brookes]

This was a whole lot of fun!

[Adam Daigle]

Sorry for the late update, but...

Congrats to Caeliat for her second consecutive win!

I had a blast running the game and want to give a ton of thanks to Charlie Bell for helping me out with the betting. I couldn't have made it run so smooth without him.

Everyone seemed to have a good time, so thanks to the eight awesome players who joined me early Friday morning to spill some green blood on everyone's favorite Black Rock!

Can't wait for next year!

[samerandomhero]

Thanks for the awesome event Adam. :) I had a great time.

[Adam Daigle]

It was good having you, man! Thanks for playing.
