Prepare your teams of 3 and study up in preparation for the greatest challenge ever presented to geek-kind.
Presenting the soon to be annual Save Against Fear GEEKATHALON!
SWORD +1
Friday 10pm
On Friday night you and your team will compete against others in a battle of speed and gaming knowledge. Given only the vaguest clues and an assortment of rule books you will be tasked with being the first team to answer specific trivia questions with the exact passage from the book. Can you explain the rules for grappling? Calculate AC with a given set of stats. Find a monster with teleportation! Math! Reading! A strict unbending adherence to archaic rules that govern how the universe works!
THE HOSTS WITH THE MOSTS!
Saturday All Day
Saturday finds our intrepid adventurers tasked with putting together the perfect game night. Your team will be timed on how fast it takes to organize a box of mashed together board games, figure out the best food to order, set up the table, and more herculean game night tasks. Will your team take the gold or will you blow your chance to be Host with the Mosts!
ULTIMATE ARMORER
Sunday High Noon
Not all of us are great at organization or rapid rules analysis. For the truly artistic of geeks there is the Sunday challenge. Teams will be given a box of utter junk and one hour in which to create the most blinging set of gear ever seen this side of an MMO. Be it LARP gear or Cosplay we want to see your interpretation of the theme we put forth. Winners will be chosen by the audience during our grand finale, so make sure you bring your eye for fashion and beat the clock!
Details
We hope to see a great turn out for this inaugural event. So, send your ravens, light the signal fires, text someone;
whatever it takes to build your team of three because this year at Save we will find the supreme geeks through a trial of fire in the GEEKATHALON!
