Looks like things are moving along nicely. Just one word to those that don't have reservations yet. MAKE THEM. I looked into rooms over the week end and there are very few left within walking distance. I was lucky to get one at the Crowne.

See ya all in Colombus. I'll be there with my SOK's and My Bauhaus.

I'll be at Origins teaching sculpting classes and would be happy to help out with painting demos during the show.

Have bought my badge for Origins again this year was balancing out Origins vs Gen con.  I guess there will be a tourney for both games this time again.  Also is the after tournament large scale Muntant Chronicles game going to be dabbled with using the large figures. 
I got my room at the Hyatt which is attached to the convention center.  So far it is me and my friend Tom (says he may have a buddy coming along) staying but could open up for floor space if need too.  Just let me know.  Rate is standard as on the con page so could be spilit 3 or 4 ways pending on what is happening.

 I guess i need to figure out how to use these tribes of Job I acquired for a battle there.  Or can they be incorparted into the Brotherhood force as allies or friends or what ever they are called.

Are the UWZ and Chronopia events gonna get spread out this year over the entire con or just on fri and sat like last time?

Dave

Hmmm read that new art for brotherhood could be interesteing in the teleport flame and get intiat next round and now take dmg from being shot at from suriviors of the flame temp.

The events should be spread out fairly evenly.  I've been in frequent contact with Topkick in an effort to balance the scheduling of events.  They'll be posted here as soon as everything is finalized with GAMA.

I posted this in another thread but I want to post it here also -

Origins is still in the works and I hope to be in touch with Thom soon. Currently there are several Warzone and several Chronopia events that are being scheduled. I will also be running some LoS events and my Legions of Steel/Warzone scenario. These are being hosted by the Midwest Crusaders. Our motto is "We are on a mission from Thom" .

Topkick,

I just secured the time off from work. Don't know when, but I'll be there Wednesday night sometime. The Ohio crew play tested the senerio. Things went quite well. Not sure yet, but, I may need some help with figs for the Con. I have my SOK, and I should have access to Firstborn, Blackbloods and Dwarves. I'm not sure as to what will be painted and game ready though. I'll keep you posted.

See You at the Con.

I was thinking along the lines of I got the sci fi sets from dwarven forge to build some layouts.  Also have copies or mutant chronicles board game and blood berets too wonder if there is anyway to incorprate the two together or can even bring them along and play them straight up if anyone is interested.

About making a game using UWZ rules and converting down the ranges to the squares in on the floor tiles and have some scenarios of maybe small fire teams go in and retieve item and get out or more of a small scale one on one quick death type shoot out or make it where sever different factions all arrive at set place  to retireve something and free for all battle no alliances or partner ships.  I know this was done sorta on the trounament last year for the large scale battles.  Might draw some new blood in seeing how you can adapt the rules to more of a 1 on 1 combat thing instead having to field a small army and such.

Just a idea to be thrown out there and also let me know if I should bring the two board games along with.

Make the meeting engagement mostly scouts or light troopers, light inf, with maybe one major character as support or leader.

Also along the lines of the Novels that were written. 
Btw anyone got a copy of the third one by stackpole that I can eitehr borrow to read or buy.   or trade for something.
I have the other first two but have yet to find the third at reasonable price.

We're only a month away!!! Who's getting excited?  I know that I am.  Who all can I expect to be running into again (or for the first time) this year?

I'll be there, but won't be getting into town until Friday evening. I'm scheduled to run a Chronopia game on Saturday.

Sorry about the haphazard layout of that last posting.  I've never been able to create columns with the formating on this site.  :-[

Just curious, who's signed up for the Raid on Romburg Scenerio?  I'm the GM for it and I'd just like to get an idea of who's playing before I get there.
