Two weeks away and the excitement comes crashing like a fist to the jaw coupled with a mild electric shock up the backside.
It kinda tingles.
Whereas I deliberately eschewed reviewing the pre-reg book and only actually got signed up for one event, now I'm drooling over the possibilities and the breadth of miniature gaming action that is available. Of course this has delivered me a fearsome lack of preparation, but anything that is worth doing is worth doing at the last minute in a blind mole rat-esque rush of panic and desperation.
I'm sure it would be fun to watch if I weren't the one portraying the blind mole rat.
My one signed-up-for game is Hordes, and somehow I'm now bringing the equivalence of FOUR armies for it with not that much crossover. This has required me not only to dump [cash number redacted in case my wife ever stumbles across this] into getting new models, but also Conte to paint his fingers raw to get them on the table for me. That Conte, he's a hell of a guy. And if he is reading this, he really should be spending his time PAINTING instead!!
Game two is Rezolution, which I've been very hit and miss on. I like the game well enough, though, and I do have a nice-sized army for it, so, what the hell.
The new and final game that I am bringing stuff for is Dark Age. Dark Age? Wha? Yes, I've been lured in by that dastardly Aaron into actually bringing stuff AND playing. I don't know what is wrong with me. But there had better be some good prize support....

What, GenCon is almost here? Aw CRAP!
I'm spending the bulk of my time money and energy on painting classes while there, but I've also got a few dedicated games lined up.
Warmachine/Hordes Nationals tournament is the first thing on Thursday, then I've got a small AT-43 game lined up Friday afternoon.
Other Games I'm hoping to investigate while there
Mutant Chrnoicles: Fantasy Flight Games is running games every two hours through out the Con, Hoping I can squeeze into a game during some free time.
Slaughter Gulch 5: I'm hoping Pinnacle will have some figures at thier booth to look over, nd possibly purchaseand maybe demos available
WarGods: I've beeen acquiring WarGods Olympus figures for roughly 4 years and have yet to play a game. I'm hoping to hit Crocodiles booth and get a demo of the game and possibly pick up some more Spartans or Titans.
13 days and counting.
re: Wargods - 4 years without a game, and likely another 4 years without a game at home - best play this at home cause it seems to have zippy local support.
Yeah, it won't be the first game I'll collect, but has no local support. Hell who am I kidding I live in Stafford nothing has ANY local support.
But yeah Wargods Olympus figs are looking pretty nice, new Spartan sstuff looks sweet and my exisiting Demigods are soome great models as well.
They are damn purdy.
