We had a great time. You and Fritz were great sports. I think you have a new fan for life (or two). Chris also asks when you will post the video. He also says thanks again for the blood dice. If you are coming to the Chicago area and need anything, let us know.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Gladeius (Jim and Chris)Gladeiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617528462053436451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-63842433282456074062012-07-30T14:01:54.379-04:002012-07-30T14:01:54.379-04:00Hey Jawaballs, I am the father of the new Warmast...Hey Jawaballs, I am the father of the new Warmaster Chris of the Space Wolves. I just wanted to say thank you for the game. We had a great time and really appreciate the time spent with you and Fritz. You guys were so patient with my son, and with my lack of speed. This is a highlight of our gaming together.<br /><br />On another note, the games day of 3+ years ago was much bigger and included many more models. I remember in the past, the guys at the gw stores would have small armies that they had to paint for games day gamin and display. I have not seen that lately.<br /><br />Again, thanks for a great time.<br /><br />Gladeius (Jim and Chris)Gladeiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617528462053436451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-71396902408310362642012-07-30T10:56:49.283-04:002012-07-30T10:56:49.283-04:00did you win a deamon :p

Having half hour and longer conversations...actual conversations, was amazing for me. Yes, I miss the days when the GT turned Games Day into a two day event for me, the bevy of seminars, sneak peeks and sheer geek eye candy that is of yesteryear now. <br /><br />Forget GWs lack of attention to their community, we've formed our own community and they showed up in force and we all had a blast together. Just take a look at all the pictures you've got and all the connections we got to make Saturday :)<br /><br />It was awesome to see you again, my friend, and I really hope you (and everyone) make it to Adepticon next year. We need to get a game in!<br /><br />TimMiniature Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873606899838665652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-1293536531956494032012-07-30T00:05:51.149-04:002012-07-30T00:05:51.149-04:00Hey Billy, thanks!

In the past, there was so much going on, it was difficult to get it all in. They used to run a tournament during the con, and every where you went was cool stuff to look at. The retail part was secondary. This year, the biggest devotion of space was to the store.Jawaballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188462457051627625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-83478171394303395822012-07-30T00:00:19.033-04:002012-07-30T00:00:19.033-04:00Hi there!

First of all I want to congratulate you on your banner I thought it looked absolutely awesome!<br />I agree on your opinion of Gamesday though, myself and a couple other friends have been playing 40k for almost half a year now and our local GW store manager encouraged us to go to Gamesday, so we took the bus there very excited for what sounded like an amazing day, but after the doors opened we were all very disappointed.<br /><br />I felt like I had spent 25$ to either go spend money on more GW product or wait in very long lines. Pretty disappointing I have to say.<br /><br />It bothered me that there was so much open space because any other kind of convention I've ever been to always is packed to the walls with booths, events, etc.<br /><br />I personally think that Games Workshop's strategy there was to have little in the way of things to do so that there would be long lines for what was offered so then people were faced with either waiting in line or going into the on site store and spending money.<br /><br />I guess I was just expecting an event that catered to the enthusiast rather than their wallet :p But hey I got a nice Blood Angels Captain I could paint up and use one of these days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872787270399379931noreply@blogger.com
