This Tentacles was very special for me : It started with a big new : I was going to be one of the guest of honor of the con : a huge honor in my opinion, and I was both proud and intimidated.

Also, I released "Trollball : this is not a fair game", a boardgame sold as a fund raiser for Tentacles, based on my demo game from last year.

I was a bit sad that some friends didn t came (Lewis Jardine, Jane Williams and of course Greg Stafford),
but I meet several persons, with more than half I used to see every year and never get a chance to chat with.

I added some special stuff for the Tentacles game compared to Salute's : Simply because Tentacles deserve that kind of things.

So just for Tentacles : 8 teams instead of 4, Advanced rules with special powers for each tribe (if the player wear a praxian hat !),  sky bulls flying (reaaly) around the Block, and for the first time, a Keynote presentation on teh making of of the Block and previous games.



Lewis didn t came for some medical reason, but his tribe made a banner to race for him (and they won) !





A morokanth, 2 agimori and a Rhino : those poor broos won t last for long...







Go Lewis ! Go !



The use of special dices help to simplify the game, especially when playing with childrens (blue is good) or with retarded roleplayers (AIR is good) <-- no offense ;-)



The Devil's Stomach in foreground, in background a serious battle against broos and walktapus..



Rhinos and Agimori entering the Marsh by the totem zone.

The flying bulls at the top, have been moving around the Block for the whole Week End ! (2 4,5volts bateries used)




To play your special power, you needed to have a praxian hat : here the Rhino's player and winner of the game with his very elaborated hat : it may have helped him !



Morokanth Chariot.





Nomad's charge in the Rocky area...



The camp : the baskets are to get true stone from Chaos forces (peebles to do the body count)




"wahurrghhtttgguuhhhh !" ... or not.




High llama rider. Yep, it used to be a roman camel...









Storm Bull missing an ear, as normal.



Greg Stafford : I made a miniature of him when I eard he wasn t coming.







Never drink anything from that Morokanth : Daniel helped a lot in the initial sesign of the game, so I made a miniature of him.

Tressy giving his horns to the Sable Riders player : they have been the worse tribe and will "move to Horn Gate to worship Eiritha" BROOO ! BROOO !
