GenCon 2011 Reporter Needed

It was a good run while it lasted but this year I am not going to make it out to Indy for the best four days of gaming.

In order to keep the coverage going, I’d like to reach out to someone from the BattleTech community to help me provide the news and pictures this year.

If you are going to GenCon this year and love BattleTech drop me a line.  At the very least here is what I would require from you.

  • You must own your own camera.  It can be a point and shoot but it should be able to take nice miniature pictures. (macro mode)
  • Be able to upload pictures to the ScrapYard.  I will provide FTP access for you.
  • You should be planning on attending the What’s Up with BattleTech/Catalyst Seminar and take notes.

I wouldn’t be asking for help if I wasn’t able to make it worth your while.  In addition to the soul altering satisfaction of helping the ScrapYardArmory meet the insatiable demand for BattleTech GenCon coverage I am able to offer the following incentives.

  • I’ll cover the cost of internet access at your hotel room if needed.  (last year the convention center had great free wireless coverage so this is just in case)
  • For each day of coverage you help me provide, I’ll give you a new in box BattleMech from my collection.  I have at least a hundred or so minis to choose from, you are sure to find something you like.

While I am not able to go myself this year, I hope that somebody will be able to help continue the excellent BattleTech coverage this site has delivered.

    Well, if it helps, you can poach off of my photos and (hopefully) blog entries. I can’t say I’ll be 100% certain I’ll be writing up a daily diary as in years of yore, but if you can’t find anyone, you have that at least.
