Rome Wargame Gathering - RWG 2019 - 25-27 ottobre

Visto il perdurante disinteresse della comunità per questo bell'evento organizzato a Roma ricordo a tutti le parole di Jackson Kwan (Hong Kong Wargamer).

Il "nostro" all'epoca era un giocatore relativamente niubbo, anche se si impegnava molto a giocare online, come molti di noi non godeva della fortuna di avversari vicini e numerosi.

Così quando è stato annunciato il Torneo di Singapore (2.700 chilometri di distanza da Hong Kong) Jackson ha pensato di partecipare, ovviamente i fattori distanza/costi/tempo/famiglia/lavoro influivano sulla decisione.
Ecco i suoi pensieri in merito

Questo vuole essere un invito a tutti per muoversi dalla propria casa mettersi in strada per raggiungere altri ASLers e condividere questo meraviglioso hobby.





Quick Note to Fellow Newbies

I wasn’t going to pay for a plane ticket to go to Singapore for the Malaya Madness. The thought of putting up the time and the expense to go to Singapore to play ASL when I can play games with anyone over VASL was simply too crazy to consider. However, my two mentors : Don & Witchbottles both advised me to go see for myself. My family, surprisingly was easier to convince than I myself.

My initial thoughts were :

I don’t know anyone there but a lot of the ASL’rs must know each other already. They are just going to talk and to play with each other.
NEVER HAPPENED.


I am just a newbie. What’s the fun in losing all my games?
The Tourney Director matched players based on their skill levels. Besides, everyone I met are a total pleasure to play with or without the competition.


I played quite a few people around the world too on VASL. I can lose games equally well on VASL without having to travel, thankyou.
Face to Face games carries a dynamic that just doesn’t exist via other mediums. The chatter, the shrieks, the comments, the groans and screams of delight over die rolls, make FtF experiences second to none. Besides, it’s even more fun to play people over VASL (afterwards) when you know who they are.
There are a lot of ASL tourneys every year. If it’s within your realm of possibility to go, go. Go at least once.
