Infernal Zoo VIII (2019)

6/30/2019

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.

Tourney packet updated as follows: For purposes of special zoo scoring and objectives, Dwarven Grudge Busters and Kingdom of Equitain Sacred Reliquies are considered to have towering presence (but not for general rule effects.

Tourney Packet Finalized

8/26/2018

Final tourney packet uploaded. Added in Rank Bonus to club challenges..

Venue Update

8/15/2018

The 2018 Venue has changed to :
The Venue is at the Davis Senior Center (Valente Room)
646 A Street, Davis, CA.

More Space! Closer to Down Town (and the other room is under construction lol).

This is another great space next to a park and much closer to down town, where the bars and hotels are. We are basically in walking distance now. For stagering back and forth or significant other visitation while they enjoy down town.

Speaking of that, on Saturday we will be a block away from the Davis farmers market which is a pleasant place for anyone with you not playing to grab some food or hang out.

Rule Pack Updated

7/22/2018

Fixed all "Monster" references to be "Towering Presence"

Removed -1 Discipline penalty to Dragons in Dragon Brood scenario

2018 Infernal Zoo is a Go!

2017 Update #1

7/11/2017

Hey Everyone,
A long overdue update for the Infernal Zoo! The tournament is less then a month away (Oct 6-9) The draft tournament packet is up on the website, check it out and leave comments! I will issue the finalized version on Sept 22. Since 2.0 didn’t happen I left in some of the fun objective cards and scenario mods I have used in the past to Mix things up ;-)
If you haven’t already go register!
www.infernalzoo.com
We Currently have 34 people signed up. 5 of which are tentative, but the I know at list 7 people not on the list who are likely.. soo I would say 30 playrts is a pretty safe and 40 is in sight!
Lists will be Due Sept 29! ( I will retype them all into army builder and distribute the day of).
Payment
I’m officially asking for payment now. The Recommended registration fee is $30+ see website for details on how the budget is going. Based on Initial registrations, I’m going to keep the facility I have now and cap the players at 40, so get your reg fee in now to reserve your spot ;-)

Blood Bowl
Will be Friday night! NAF rules 1000 pt lists with 6 skills. Johns thinking we will just have some round robin games and some awards for things like most TDs, most inflicted injuries, most suffered injuries, etc. We will have a couple extra teams so let me know if you want to play and we will hook you up! People can just come for blood bowl if you like.
Banquet
On Saturday night we will have a dinner banquet at de’veers Irish pub. Please RSVP to me so I can get an accuratte food order in. This will cost like $10-15 per person (depending on registration income and attendance). Also at the Banquet we will have the final Haiku vote off and award the Zoo Keepers club challenges.

Ok, that’s it for now. More on the way and feel free to ask me any questions at all.

Cheers,
Alex
