| | Well, hopefully yes. We handed out lots of schedules and coupons, so that should help. It was a good time. Thanks to all who helped out at the GameKnight tables, and thanks to those who came by to see us. Brian Mitchell, the organizer said we were doing a fabulous job, and he wanted us back next year, in a bigger area. | |

Schedules for Nov/Dec published to the web, and tuned up a bit. Now to just get my Sanctioning requests in.
Who will it be to find the first mistake?
Too late to be first, but I can be second I suppose.
1:00 pm - D&D Minis 200 points, constructed, assault. Theme – The Icons! Take on the big bad dragons, or be the dragon and munch down on some tasty warbands!
200 pt warbands vs the icons is going to lead to a lot of very dead 200 pt warbands. | |

| I am going to open this one up again,
I am still looking for a decent place to take my minis maps to be laminated. So far the best place I have found is Staples. I was wondering where you guys are taking yours.

| Didn't make it to the geek-a-thon on Sunday... kinda disappointed. Would have rolled outta bed no matter what if anyone from the cast of SLIDERS was there... *cough* I didn't just say that.
Anyway, waddup with the boardgame club? What's this game about?

And one other question, are you doing the midnight madness thing this Thursday? | | | |

And one other question, are you doing the midnight madness thing this Thursday? It got returned with a round 2 error that I don't know how to fix. I will be contacting them, when I have some spare time. As to midnight madness minis, is anyone interested? I've been putting in lots of hours and right now I just want some extra sleep. But I may feel better Thursday, and if y'all want it, I'll do it.

| Hello all,
A bit early, but HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I plan to be out for minis on Thursday, not Saturday though, as it is Game Day!
As to midnight minis, no thanks, I work too early in the morning now.
Cheers

| Woot gratz richard.
On Game Day, it says that Games will be starting at various times during the day.
I'm thinking of dropping down but have a limited amount of free time on Saturday. How big of a block of time will I need to make it worthwhile? | | | |

| Come one, come all to the final non Deserty of Desolation constructed tournament tonight.
Bring your quaggoths and your steelheart archers and your helmed horrors and fight for supremacy the day before Desert of Desolation becomes constructed legal. And then come out next Thursday for the first constructed tournament where Desert of Desolation is legal. What strange and new wonders will appear then? | |

I threw together an old warband I played once, we'll see how it hold up after several sets of new minis.
So sleepy though....... Zzzzzzzzzz......... | | | |

| Hmmm ...
Still trying to decide which band to play. It has been so long since I played a 100pt warband.
Choices from each faction abound now.
Think, think, think.

| Hey there,
I can't say with 100% certainty, but based upon previous games days it was roughly 2 hours or so to complete the "module" that was sent out for the event. Some groups took longer, other groups died in their first encounter.
I think the Beer Baron is looking at starting a group every 2 hours starting at 10:00 AM (so 10, 12, 2 and possibly 4).
Cheers

| 8 goodly folks of virtue true out for 100 points of miniatures of the Dungeons and Dragons variety this eve. Counted in their august number were Garret the Brave, Chris the Wise, Matt the Stout, Denise the Virtuous, Ryan the Strong, Gabe the Brilliant, Scott the Beatific, and myself. Surely a group worth of founding an octagonal table of heroic justice, insteand we played 4 rounds of miniatures.
My Helmed Horror, Green Dragon, Snig the Axe and 2 Kobold Miner warband held up going 4-0 as I vanquished Scott, Chris, Garret, and Matt and earned the coveted Valiant Calvary for my efforts.
Hoozah for Richards noble and just efforts in running the tournament. | | | |

There you go.
No Maple Story on the schedule tonight, instead...... D&D RPG!
Come on down new and old to learn to play D&D or get a tune up just in time for Game Day tomorrow. | | | |

After a couple trades last night I still need a Macetail and a Bruenor. Lots of trade fodder left.
Currently I'm at work but I'll be down at 4 to run my part of the Game Day experience and do some trading. | | | |
