Goodbye From Day 2 Of Adepticon 2017
Well, day 2 is coming to an end for our coverage. Don't worry though we still have two full days of content to bring you!
Looking forward to seeing shiny stuff!
Can’t wait to see the Blood & Plunder video!
This blog isn’t helping me keep peace with my decision not to attend….
Thanks for all the reporting. I can’t get to the gaming this year but am going to TRY and get to the vendors. The wallet is already screaming. I just Must get a coloring book. My 8 yr old is starting to get interested in tabletop gaming (way more than video games) and it’ll be a good way to help stoke those flames. Awsome job thanks again.
A lot of cool stuff going on over there
i’m so ready for day two.
Day 2 here we go! Usually my favorite day at cons.
Might need to check out Wild West Exodus. Our gaming group has just never found a wild west game that they could settle on and get a big enough group to play. I’ll need something for when I start cranking out the building from the Printable Scenery Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/printablescenery/time-warp-rampage-castle-europe-and-the-americas?ref=nav_search
Lots of great looking tables.
Infinity please. Where is Charlos?
We will be live streaming the Infinity seminar tomorrow 🙂
Very good terrain setups on these tables.
I’m exhausted just thinking about being at Adepticon
Would like to see the vendor hall also, if possible.
Next year I’ll be there come he’ll or high water
Any saga ?
Grand Melee starts Saturday. 🙂
Thanks for the great Blood & Plunder coverage!
Gonna be awesome!
Bloody hell, I want so much stuff! Looks awesome!
Amazing
Amazing work with keeping us updated here. It´s been really awesome to follow it all.
Great coverage – thanks!
Nice to see some Counterblast coverage!
Great stuff. The more I see those Zone Mortalis boards, the more I want one.
Thanks for the coverage so far. Looking forward to doing the UK version – Salute – soon, but would love to go over for a future Adepticon.
Looks like there is a lot going on. Looking forward to what the rest of the con brings.
