Well don’t get super excited as you will prob just win a dubious 3D print or bones mini ...But still battle to the biter end to have your named permanently etched in the Zoo Champion Halls Of Accolades!!

Things to do around the area.
 
So if you have significant other traveling along, here are some things to do (other then adoringly watch you roll dice ; - ).
 
If your coming in early on Friday you might want to check out Old Sacramento. Has an old west feel.  Nice Places to eat by the river (Rio City Café). Lots of Candy and an Amazing 3 story costume store (Halloween is coming ) called Evangelines:  www.evangelines.com
Down town Davis is a nice place to hang out too, feel free to ask me for specific restaurant recommendations.  We will be out an about that night.  Also see the arboretum trail below if your there during the day.

On Saturday morning there is a giant farmers Market couple blocks from the Venue.
https://www.davisfarmersmarket.org/
We are very close to UC Davis, and they have a lovely arboretum path for walking and looking for ducks, turtles, occasional river otter and you can see one of my bridges under construction haha.
https://arboretum.ucdavis.edu/

Saturday Night 7 PM, we are gathering at De’veers Irish pub where I have a buffet setup, $15 a person. Most people attend this (Haikou contest and team challenge and is awarded) and significant others are more then welcome!

Feel free to comment if your bringing someone so others know too!

Get them in Y'all

Ok, Just about 5 Weeks to go!

The tournament packet is up for download on the main page. Take a look and provide any comments.

We are almost full at 40, so get your fee in to reserve your spot. List should be all updated, so let me know if your not up there , or i missed your payment. About 25% of people are paid up!

Lists are due Sept 21st by noon! Time to tool those bad boys up! Definitely planning on a list review and first round matchup youtube show.

Who wants to be a star? John and I are gonna live stream parts of the event on twitch, including doing commentary on table 1 game 5 ;-)

Hammer time is back for the monster mash scenario, so look forward to those shouts ringing through the Hall. See the tourney packet for more details.

Cheers!
Alex

​Infernal Zoo VIII
 
The Zoo is Back in 2019!  Oct 5-6th in Downtown Davis.  We are the longest running Fantasy Tournament on the West Coast and a guaranteed good time!   If you haven’t been following 9th age, 2.0 has gone gold , and we are seeing a strong growing player base.
The Venue last year was great so we are gonna go with the same one.  Which caps us out at 40.   This year it’s quite possible we will sell out, so head on over the website, register, and pay to get your spot locked and loaded.
www.infernalzoo.com   
Tournament pack is pending, but it will be similar to last year (suggestion box is open!).  We will definitely have the Saturday banquet going as well as something Friday night (drinks, skirmish, bloodbowl, maybe all of the above).
My 3D printer has been running non stop (well except when I have to tear it down and rebuild the damn thing..), so expect some even better terrain on the tables this year and I hope to have a plentiful prize chest!
This will again be a North American Masters Qualifier. So if you win, you will get an invite to the 2020 masters.
Please send me any questions you have at all.
Grab all the Latest 9th Age info and Army books Here:
