EPICon: New Games!








Hello, I'm Titania McGee with the Channel 5 News Team: your BEST source for Subetan news stories! Tension is running high at EPICon this year, with the focus of the week being the unusual challenge between video gamer Nico and tabletop advocate Manwar! EPICon has split itself dramatically between the two teams, and tempers are hot.





In the spirit of the competition, game developers Magicians of the Mesa (brought to wild popularity with their card game Alchemy: the Gathering) and Vega Corporation (known for the classic Turbo the Priggle) have rushed to set up the new games they brought to demo for the con! Unexpectedly, Manwar and Nico have commandeered the games of their respective flavor, and aren't allowing members of the opposing team to play! It seems, however, that Magicians of the Mesa and Vega are encouraging this competition to the limit, making no move to stop them!





The two new games are a card game version of popular tabletop RPG Mazes and Mahars, and a retro 8-bit defense game called Omen Raiders. Rumor has it that the heads of their respective sides will be doling out points for their team for doing well at the games, and the queues are getting deep! They look awfully fun, so I'd suggest interested con-goers get in line now!
Cash Shop: Retiring!
Esther Chance Basket
Masquerade Chance Bag




Hope you've got all the items out of the Esther Chance Bag and Masquerade Chance Bag that you've been looking for! They'll be retiring from the cash shop at the end of this month!

Isn't it terrible when your beefy pale hands get so sweaty they can't grip your controller anymore, and it goes flying out of your fingers and shatters the TV and the glass pierces your eyes thus rendering you blind and gameless for the rest of your life?

EPICon Costume Contest




Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date EPICon information!



Just moments ago, convention officials announced the opening of a Cosplay Contest that will be taking place next week. The reaction from fans was immediate, with many rushing to don their handmade costumes and submit their entries before the lines get too long. Why, twice already I've been complimented on my "excellent" news reporter outfit!



If any of you are attending the convention and wish to enter, you have until Sunday at midnight to get your costumes together, as judging begins first thing on Monday.

Trouble at EPICon




Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information!



Channel 5 is still proud to be bringing you the exclusive content live from EPICon! Just before the commercial break, we had Tres Neufeld of Dynamo Systems sharing exciting new information about the updated weather generation engine for the upcoming sequel to Legend of Hilda. If you missed it, stay tuned for a replay later in the day!



Any minute now, the second of the guest speakers will be taking the auditorium stage. Junichiro Kurokawa, the creator of Almost Metal Scientist, is set to hold a Q&A session regarding the upcoming movie adapt--



Quote:

Look at me! I have a third eye! Oooooh, how intimidating!





Shut it, Nico. Do you even know what a third eye is? No, because all your games rely on brute force and mindless firepower.





Er, sorry about that. There seems to be some kind of argument breaking out in the crowd. As I was saying, the creator of Almost Metal Scientist will be fielding questions from the crowd about the upcoming movie adaption. Said to focus on the Revenge Arc of the plot, many fans are wondering how character development will be handled, or if this film will be a product for the die-hard f--



Quote:

Of course I know what a third eye is. But you're fighting a freaking lock, Manwar. Just go get a crowbar. It doesn't take psychic ability!





Psst! Cover this, Lloyd.







Quote:

It's not just any lock, Nico. It's ENCHANTED. Brute force isn't going to work on it! Plus, you know, there are undead protecting it as well. You need strategy!





Strategy? They're living dead. You burn the corpses and move on! Gosh, these card games are so one dimensional. Give me a video game with multiple scenarios going on at once, so I have to think!





I hope you're joking. There are so many threats going on in a card game at once! Your hit points! Your remaining deck! Whether or not you should play that card now or risk waiting! Don't even pretend there's any thinking going on in your games. You point and click and BOOM! the monster is dead.





You act like card games are the only games with a risk of death or cooldowns to consider. You realize most video games also have hit points and a risk if you choose to use a particular move now instead of later, don't you? You're so ignorant and outdated. Just because we have spectacular graphics when we do choose to blow something up, that doesn't mean it's mindless! Join the times, Manwar. Video gaming is much more popular than your tabletop models.





Ignorant and outdated?! Have you even tried playing a card game? They're freaking timeless, and they don't require batteries or tons of cables and wires. And you know the best part? I get to play in a room face-to-face with all of my friends, instead of locked away in MY MOM'S BASEMENT PLAYING AGAINST SOME LOSER NAMED xXxTEABAG69xXx .





You leave my mother out of this! I pay rent and she happens to be an excellent cook! I'm willing to bet you that of all the booths here at this convention, the ones related to video games outsell your "timeless" games by a landslide!





You're on, Nico! Loser has to play the winner's favorite game for a day!





Haha, I'm looking forward to seeing you with a wireless remote in your hands. Later, pal.





You heard it here first, folks! A wager between the Video Gamers and the Tabletop Players. The crowd is already is beginning to rally behind their favorite cause, lining up to support Team Nico or Team Manwar. This is going to be an interesting EPICon! More on this story as it develops. This is Titania McGee signing off. Game on, Subeta!

Bowling Ball and Chain




Technically, it is not a chain; it's a braid. But a bowling ball and a handfasting cord? What an odd combination. It's like someone got married in a bowling alley. Who would do that?! Either way, it's a free gift! Go get one today.

She sells sea shells by the sea shore, but the sea shells she sells aren't sea shells, I'm sure. Which is probably a good thing, since one of these new shell tye tops at the Beach Shack would be much more comfortable.

Two old faces have decided to make their return to the Battle Coliseum! It seems Daemon is just bored and wants to shred a few pets with her viciously sharp teeth!
