Me and a buddy got a free pass from a drawing at a local con last September, so I'll be there with bells on. With the event list now available and a decent bit of DDM events as well as quadrillions of other fun stuff, I was wondering if I'd get the chance to meet any Maxminiers (or is it Maxminites?) in person.

So, anybody making the trip to Columbus?

Cool. It's my first big Con and my first competitive minis play too, so take it easy on me everybody!! I wonder how low a DCI rating can go on the same day you get it?

It's Maxminonianites....

I Won't be there this year, but plan on making a big con loop next year, hitting 3-4 cons in the summer.

I am in the process of talking my way into enough hours of judging to get someone to pay for my hotel and badge. If I can manage that, then I have to talk my boss into giving me two days off (Thursday and Friday that week).

If this combo takes place, I'll be there.

Origins is a great choice for your first big con. It has an oddly different feel to it than Gen Con. It is sorta like a "Big Con for Beginners". As fun as the other big cons, but half the hassle.

Sounds great, I've already gotten signed up for a bunch of stuff and will surely sign up for more, but am wondering, are there typically people selling minis and books at discounted prices, or is it mostly msrp? I was hoping to pick up a couple books and a couple of cases of Night Below while I was there, but if it's MSRP, I'll just order them.

There are a few factors that are making me think I won't do it after all.

1) It's a 5-ish hour drive there.
2) I don't really want to spend another Wednesday-to-Sunday away from the family, especially with GenCon coming up.
3) It looks like a local retailer will be having a release tournament that weekend.

It is really close to me too... a 10 minute drive. Obviously I'll be there... I already have my free 4-day badge too.

I may be behind on this but could anyone be of help and give me the information on origins.

Where it is
When is it
What does it have to offer

Stuff like that. Thanks because I live in Flint Mi so if this is columbus ohio and on the right date I might just make the drive.

I may end up having an extra prepaid pass with all of the minis events paid for on it for trade for minis, but won't know for another week and a half or so...trade for minis anyone? Think you can convince them your name is different than your ID? I dunno if they're transferable.
