| I'd be interested as well.
The biggest problem with WF is that they don't have a firm grasp on teh schedule till pretty close to the event. As Chris mentioned, they did a terrible job of lining up the start of the RPG events with the DDM events (i.e. if you started a DDM event in the morning, likely itwouldn't finish before the afternoon RPG events started. This meant you either did RPG for DDM on a given day...).
My plan is to be there though!

| | I currently expect to be at Winter Fantasy as this event is in my Maryland backyard and would love to play in the Maxminis Tourney. My second child is due late January so that's the only event I can think of that might impair my ability to participate. | |

Well, I'd help organize and participate in one, but alas, I'm not going....
Last I heard, Striderlotr wasn't either. You'll have organize this one on your own!

| I'm going. If it kills me, I'm going. Please tell me they're not having it a weekend I'm scheduled for orals or boards. Shudder.
I'll be trying to drag OkayMckay with me too. I'll be doing some roleplaying I'm sure, but I'd be up for a limited tournament. Sadly it will probably be my first D&D minis game between now and then.
I'm definately game though, need to make up for not seeing you guys at gencon! | |

| Winter Fantasy is notorious for NOT having a lot of info up early... you really find things out pretty close to the event I'd guess registration will open less than 60 days prior...
From the WotC Website:
Join us February 23 – 26 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, in Arlington, Virginia.

Check out all the "great" information on Winter Fantasy at the official Website: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/conventions/wf
See what I mean!

| That is so true. It was also hard to preregister last year for some reason... or maybe it was just me.
It is a really good time and many of us had a blast last year playing in some great games. I liked the way they ran some of the pick up games 2 years ago, but that was the first year.
Thanks for sticking the thread Chris! | |

| Hmmm....
I don't want to be the wet blanket....
A word of caution, that we should think about:
Ian Richards(VERY) jokingly asked me where his money was to rent the tables at GenCon....
Winter Fantasy is 100% paid for by WotC. If we set up shop, and potentially conflict with other events at the show, they may not be quite so jovial about the whole thing...
Kiddoc: You've got the best "ins" with WotC, care to mention this to them and get there reaction? The other option is to play somwhere else, but where would we find the space (for free) to sit 10-20 players?

| So true...
Well maybe Wizards would be nice and let us play where the minis play, just after the minis are finished. Last year the minis stuff ended around 8-9 so maybe we could do it after that.
Brian if you could that would be great, to just drop them a note. Maybe Ian could play and be a part of the fun. | |

I had a lot of fun last year and having a Maxminis event should improve things for this one.

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.

| | I am also hoping to be there. Something about Saturday night though is that is usually the Open Fiesta night where you can play modules out of region. For the non-LGers, just think of Saturday night as a possible conflict. Now for myself last year I skipped the Fiesta slot to do DDM. | |

| Ah! Good point Mark. Yes, for LG, you can't play out of region adventures accept at events like the Fiesta, I'm sure that the RPG guys would be skipping any DDM event to participate...
Maybe Friday night?
I think we might to wait for the schedule....

Bad news... It will be on the wrong week.
I would have pushed my meeting out another week, but my wedding is on March 4th. And that's not something I can screw around with. [:D]
I hope you guys have fun.

I'd be interested in getting in on the Maxminis tournament. I'll have the pleasure of losing to all of you. | |

| Nope!
Other than that we know the dates and location.
We have also come to the realization that WF's dates are the weekend before WarDrums is released. That means we will likely see a WarDrums release event (perhaps that will become an annual thing...), and maybe even league play with WarDrums (that might be a stretch, but you never know...).
Right now, I'm leaning towards suggesting Sunday morning. People will cut out after lunch, but Saturday night will be a big Living Greyhawk time. Sunday morning should allow us to perhaps use WarDrums....
We're definatley going to have to wait, perhaps until nearly the last minute, to pin this event down....

| "Ian Richards did announce a Winter Fantasy sealed tournament using 2 Archfiend boosters or possibly a Dragoneye and the winner will get a case of Harbinger. A second case will be split for 2,3,4."
Reported by Mook Farchings. Very interesting.
