Face-to-face ASL play resumes in June at the premier ASL event in Atlanta. Please note the new month this year due to a conflict with MMP's planned ASL World Championship on our normal date.

This year we will be returning to the beautiful Marriott Atlanta Northeast / Emory Area which is located just off Interstate 85 at Clairmont Road.

We have a discounted room block available for $145 + taxes/fees. There is also a daily parking fee at the hotel. You can use the following link to register for a room – if you call the hotel mention our event name which is Boardgame Tournament.


The tournament will run 4 days, Thursday through Sunday.

We are continuing with the optional large scenario format for rounds 1 and 2 (see below) as this was well received last year with 16 players participating in the optional first round on Thursday.

The action begins on Thursday with a special first round that features larger scenarios. Those participants arriving on Thursday before 2 pm can optionally participate in this round. The winners of this round will enter the main event Friday morning with a 1-0 record and play another large scenario on Friday as their second-round match. If you participate in the special first round on Thursday and lose, then you will enter the tournament on Friday morning without any losses and complete two rounds on Friday.

Those who can’t make it until Friday morning will also enter the tournament at that time and complete two rounds on Friday.

Please be aware that this special format means that someone that you defeat on Thursday may end up winning the tourney, perhaps even beating you in a subsequent round, if this is too much to handle then please don't participate in the special Thursday round as it is 100% optional.

Open ASL gaming is always available on Thursday as well.

Depending upon numbers the main event will be either 4 or 5 rounds and finish on Saturday or Sunday. There will also be several mini-events including the soon-to-be classic “No Brothers, No Friends” 3-player scenario from Twilight of the Reich on Saturday.

Admission Fees are $50 before May 1st $60 after May 1st and $30 for single-day attendance

We have the room all day Sunday so I am hoping folks will plan to stay and game on Sunday as well.

I look forward to seeing all of my old and new ASL buddies in Atlanta this Summer.

Will there be any provision for ASLSK players? I'm hoping to attend this year and I might be able to bring along another player or two though they are still pretty new to the game...and heck it's been a few years since I played the full game myself for that matter lol.

Bob - I am always open to arranging games for SK players and if we have enough players a small mini tournament. Gary Bartlett

Great timing for me, Gary. Our granddaughter's birthday is just before the event so for sure I will be in Atlanta. Given the two young grandchildren that have crowded us out of their Buckhead home, we will be staying at the event hotel.

I'll be attending this year and very much looking forward to it! Looking for a roommate to share the hotel expense as well! Please reach out directly if interested.

Fellow ASL enthusiasts -

We are 5 weeks out from the dropping of the first dice at Spreading Blaze 2025 in Atlanta. At this point, I have 20 players that are registered to play. My partner in crime, Brent Crawford is putting the finishing touches on the scenario selections, and I will post them here on Sunday. If you are in the Atlanta area, and available from June 5 thru June 8 then please considering joining us for some ASL action.

Gary

Here are the scenario options for the various rounds for the Atlanta ASL tourney for 2025. I want to thank Brent Crawford for putting this list together.

This does not include the scenarios for the optional Large Scenario Round 1 and Round 2 that I will post tomorrow.

Here are the selections for the special long scenario rounds on Thursday and Friday. As a reminder, these rounds are 100% optional, and players who win on Thursday will play another long scenario on Friday as their only game. Players that lose on Thursday enter the tourney on Friday with no losses and play two games on Friday. I have selected these scenarios, so all criticism should be directed my way.
