I suppose the question is who will be out for double Deathknell tomorrow?

Okay, I'm back. I haven't been able to get onto the forums, even after the maintenance was done. Garret suggested getting on through google, and that worked.

Anywho, we are confirmed for SWM Release event November 17th. Details to come.

Dreamblade is dead, and WOTC is blowing out the minis. Ill be putting all my current stock on sale at 50% off (below cost, and purchased with 88 cent Canadian dollars). If I run out I'll be able to order more while it lasts, and keep the prices down too.

Deathknell will be priced at $15.99 each, same as the others, for tomorrows game.

Retail kits are enroute. They may be here for tomorrow.

I have this as a rough draft for a T-Shirt. Thinking either basic grey or perhaps olive green for shirt colors. Of course I'm still trying to come up with a good force-type pic, something lightsaber related..... but who doesn't want a Boba t-shirt.

I vote for olive green with Dark Green graphics!!! Whatever color it is, I want one!!

Even if, for some reason, I can't play in the event, I will still buy one! (XXL please)

Wow, cool shirt. Why doesn't D&D have cool pics like that? I make my designs from booster art, google pics, and minis pics in the Paint program.

I'm thinking not. I may come and hang out a bit, but deathknell is a pretty crappy set. A couple of really cool figures, and a lot of junk, not to mention it's not well balanced for sealed. If it were Night Below I'd be there faster than you can say sealed since we haven't done that yet, but deathknell I think I'll pass and save $$$ for Desert of Desolation.

Fair enough. It is an interesting experiment we're trying, using an older set I've been holding onto just for this reason. First place is up for grabs everyone!

I will not be out for Deathknell. Sealed games are always fun, but I've been cutting down on my non-DDM 2.0 spending.

Those not coming out tonight can always drop by tomorrow evening and play some Dreamblade, Star Wars minis, or another game of their choice.

And don't forget next Friday I'm running a D&D RPG demo, the more the merrier. I have free dice sets for the first 5 new players to give out along with some other prizes. Will the PC's be able to take down the evil dragon menacing their humble little town.....

I won't be coming out tonight.

And Scott, for the Desert of Desolation t-shirt, I was thinking maybe we should put the set icon somewhere on the shirt. Maybe on the front of the shoulder or something.

I won't be out either.  I agree with Marc.  It's too bad, I am seeing some of my favorite minis getting knocked off the DDM 2.0 list.

Great idea!  Too bad they're done (I haven't got them yey so I'm anxiuos to see them).  Next time it will have to go on the original design.  I'll go whip my designer........

Wow, I've been on the anime forums too much. I almost spaced on the date of the pre-release. I thought it was in like November. Silly me.
Well, I guess we can put the symbol on the next t-shirt (what is Dungeons of Dread's symbol anyways?).

For those of you who don't frequent the Wizards of the Coast forums, it appears that WOTC has changed their minds.  According to this announcement

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20071011a

They are talking about all miniatures being converted for DDM 2.0

Quoted from WOTC website

<<<

Attention D&D Minis Players!

We’re proud to announce that every D&D Miniatures set, from Harbinger, Dragoneye, and Archfiends through next month's Desert of Desolation, will be converted to the new 4th edition skirmish rules.

Starting with the most recent sets and fan-voted “all stars,” these updated stat cards will be posted as PDF downloads on wizards.com.

Not too surprising. I figured they would do it eventually. Just a matter of devoting the man hours to working on it.

See, you stayed away from the Deathknell sealed for nothing.

and I thought we finally got rid of the grey rendor once and for all :P

This sounds to me like a "oh shit, our sales for our pre-unhallowed products have dropped.. lets patch things up with a bogus announcement!"

Lots of fun to be had at Game Knight tonight.

There's a Dreamblade Edge tournament tonight, a great way to try out a fun game. There's a whole box of free minis to pick through and keep if you want to make your own warband. And there are warbands you can borrow.

I've also thrown together a couple 100 point Star Wars warbands. Drop by if you want to play some casual games or perhaps if there's enough people do an impromptu tournament. Feel free to being another game of your choice as long as you bring enough for at least another person to play.

In addition to that I can give another sneak preview of Inn-Fighting, WotC's new dice and card game based on D&D barfights. It doesn't release until next week apparently but you can try it out now.

And there's Magic too.

Good times.

Yes it was a good turnout last night, with 8 people. The t-shirts for the pre-release are here, and I must say they are the best looking ones yet!

Garret wins the $25 gift certificate for display case rares in our delayed drawing for September.

And today kid 3 of 4 is turning 6! Come sing happy birthday to Lilith tonight!

Sadly it's always on a Saturday I have to work.

I'm hoping to snag a set and run it on the Friday night before gameday as my RPG demo for those who have to work like a sucker like me on Saturday.

5 for SWM. Lisa wins, but passes on the rare which goes to Shadowlord (2nd time player). Joeseph brought a friend, Dorian. And Bram was here also.

DDM, only 3, sadly y'all aren't here.
