For Gen Con Indy 2005, I will run events under the Army of Dorkness banner. Although
each event will stand alone in its fun, the more events in which one participates, the
better one's chances of winning the big prize, to be announced at Gen Con (in other words,
even I don't know what it is yet, but it will be nice).
Event 1:
Event Title: Army of Dorkness: Dork Tower Board Game
Event Description: Army of Dorkness Events: For the fans of John Kovalic and everyone
else. Participate in events, earn points, and win prizes! Ultimate prize given on Sunday.
Dork Tower Board Game: Collect scrolls and magic items and prepare yourself to do battle
atop the central 3-D cardboard tower with the evil wizard Z'Mindrik. But watch out;
Z'Mindrik is guarded by dangerous, powerful monsters and the other players are dogging you
every step of the way.
