@schadenfreude

40K has less than 100 slots to go (out of 256) and ticket sales have really picked up this month for whatever reason. We've been selling a few a day.

Get dim tickets fast!

Also, Warmachine and Hordes has REALLY picked up now that we're 95% likely to be a Warmachine Weekend qualifier and Store War event.

Here is a preview what the LVO WM trophy will look like. There will be one for 1st-3rd for each tournament along with a BIG one for the overall champion of the weekend (most tournament wins). They will be multi-depth resin toppers on a plinth base that will hold the tournament coins. They will be colored according to place and nicely weathered!

I'm in. Looking forward to showing you colonials a thing or two

Though I'm on the fence about staying at Ballys. I was there a few years ago and it was just about the worst hotel experience I've ever had, and that includes comparing it to the 'establishments' I stayed at in Nairobi.

Come on. You would be doing Reecius a favor. Besides I need to be able to hang out with some east coast players.

I'm considering attending. Hoping Tyranid will be legal. I'll come cuddle with both of you.

Psh, I'll be there, and now I'm considered east coast. Unknown, yes, but still east coast. You should do it anyways, for the continuation of the LVO!

I love to Cuddle!

I glad a lot of east coast people are coming.

Mike I was also thinking Nids also, but unlike other armies forge World does nothing for them.

Hey guys, thanks for coming! Very exciting to see so many East Coasters! I love to tease you guys so it will be funny when I get my butt handed to me by one of you in a game! haha

Nids will be good to go, yes, Mike, so bring them if you like! I sincerely hope they have an answer to the psychic deathstar lists =) We'll see, though. Happy to have you coming, Mike!

@The Everliving

Glad to have you! And we would greatly appreciate it if you stayed at the hotel, although it is of course, your choice. You get a free drink and a raffle ticket for a fully painted army if you stay at the hotel and register the room in your name, though!

@Garner

You are a West Coaster to me, buddy!

@Jay

Glad you're coming! Da Boyz looked awesome this year! I watched the video you made and man, what a beautiful venue. We definitely want to come out next year, that looks amazing. And, someone needs to knock Pajama Pants down a peg or two!

Hey, are you going to have any cool new battlemats in play and/or for sale at the LVO?

I understand the benefit to you of staying at the hotel. I'll call them and see if the management has changed since '08. If it has I'll stay there.

I'm looking forward to the lower point environment, should be able to wrap up games quickly and hit the tables between rounds

This is going to be epic. Almost got the wifey talked into being my doubles partner should I somehow not go 5-0 on Fri/Sat.

Agreed on the awesomeness. I met the legendary Reece and played a game against Ragnar. I remember you CSM guys but did not get matched up with any of you. Kopach getting a hard time during the awards was hilarious. At least I think we are both talking about the same event...

I was wondering this, too, as getting them at a Con you could avoid the hefty shipping charge. Could be win-win

If you have some with you at AdeptiCon I'd probably spring for one!

Man!!! sounds like their will be a plethora of top-notch, east coasters coming over. This is going to be a PARTY! I will need to start playing again and maybe even read some of these new Coedices I have been hearing so much about.

6th still only uses 6 sided dice correct? I'm sure you nice east landers will just help me figure things out as the game plays out.

@Janthkin

We hope to! The Kickstarter is going well, so that should be possible!

@The Everliving

Thanks for staying at the hotel, it helps us out a ton!

And yeah, we run 2.5 hour rounds at 1750, we think we should have a high completion ratio. We also plan on testing out a system that let's players know what turn they should be on as we go.

@Bladewalker

That was an awesome event and a big inspiration for the LVO! Good to meet you, too and I am hardly legendary, infamous at best! haha

@RiTides

We can hook you up with your mat at the con, and refund you shipping, for 100%!!

We funded!!! so cool!

@Hotsauce

Yes!

Check out this awesome art Goatboy made for the LVO! What we are using it for though, shall remain a secret! muahaha!





Also, I was in Vegas last week briefly and snapped a pic of the hall. It's HUGE! The pic below does it no justice. I could only get a part of it in frame, it is giant! The BAO hall was 7,000sqft, this is more than double that and it will be so awesome to see it full with gaming!

But, it has carpeted floors which is great for keeping sound levels down and for ease on the old knees! The hall is ginormous, 15,000+ square feet of what will be gaming awesomeness! Also, the hall is away from the main gambling area, so it won't be crowded which will be nice.

Oh noes! That floor will swallow dice up by the bucket. Busy floor carpet designs are bad mojo for dropped dice. If I was frontline, I would be selling dice on the side...

All a part of our devious plan! Muaha!

Just kidding, we have (obviously) no control over the color of the carpet, we're just glad there's some there! Concrete can be painful to stand on all day.

Hey Reece - any updates on the Malifaux tournament? The placeholder page remains pretty sparse on details. (I think the wife & I are going to transition that way; trying to teach her 40k at this point is just too crazy.)

Well, just bought my plane tickets. Yeah, so pumped. Gonna take my Iron Warriors out for a spin, so Frankie doesn't drool on my models again (Also, transport for those darn things via plane just won't work, I wish my TW minicase was going to be in by then).

I will ask Mack to give us an update! He said they'd plug us in Wyrd's media.
