Pacificon South 2022 Cancelled, and The Broadside Bash along with it.

From the South Pacificicon Game Fest, the event that would be hosting the Broadside Bash.  Sorry all, wish we had better news 🙁

+++

Hi gang,

It is with much regret that we must inform you that due to covid hesitancy, we are having to cancel our plans to hold South Pacificon Game Fest this year. We want to thank those of you who signed up for badges and rooms in support of our efforts. 

We will be refunding all monies paid to us 100% over the course of the next two weeks. 

We are already looking for a hotel to bring a  tabletop gaming convention to the San Diego community on the weekend of March 16-19, 2023. Please look for a series of community gatherings we will have on a quarterly basis leading up to this new tabletop game convention.

Please remember to cancel your hotel reservations if you made them. They will not be automatically canceled. 

If you want to help in the planning and preparation of this show, please contact us at conquest.jackie@gmail.com, and Show Director Jackie will get you on the list! 

Once again, In spite of this disappointment, we are going to dig in our heels, make a bigger and better run at it, and hopefully in an environment with less covid hesitancy. 

Thank you,

South Pacificon Game Fest

Broadside Bash 2019 After Action Report


Broadside Bash 2019 After Action Report

The 13th Annual, 2019 Broadside Bash went off without a hitch.  Hosted at the 10th annual Kingdom-Con in San Diego, CA.  Day 1 the BSB had 95 players rolling dice.  By day 2 the field had thinned to 26 players finishing the Age of Sigmar tournament, and 62 players in the Warhammer 40k tournament.

Many thanks to our host of these many years, Kingdom-Con.  Though it may be the last, it was one of the best!  The Broadside Bash thanks Ross and the team at Kingdom-Con for the last 10 years!

The Broadside Bash is not going away, stay tuned for announcements and our plans for next year.
