Great show guys, thanks for all the coverage.
Oh and a big thanks to Dave for putting those reprobates up and making all that coverage possible.
You guys are in the know so am I correct in thinking that next years Salute will be on the 25th April?
Your welcome 😉
On the mapping – why not find out who did the Geek & Sundry International Tabletop day mapping.
That would be my first suggestion as well, to find someone that has already solved the problem. And it is great that G&SITD uses Google Maps.
The other group of people that have solved the location issue are each country’s Post Office.
I’m guessing most countries will have some form of Post or Zip Code.
Hi Warren, I’d be up for helping you guys out. I’ve done some presenting work in the past but I’ll do whatever (with-in reason)
I could bash out some scrawl on the historicals, though I’m not an expert on futuristic sci-fi stuff like Napoleonics and the world wars.
Salute volunteer here, photo/presenter/gofer unless I’m doing another charity thing 😉 I’ll catch up with you by PM @Warzan 🙂
As soon as you guys left that morning, I went straight to work, what a knackering weekend lol.
Obviously the BOW Roadie (me) is volunteering again.
Happy Easter guys
Alas I couldn’t be there for the round up chat but much thanks to Dave for putting us up! At least you didn’t have to deal with my earth shatteringly loud snoring that Saturday night 😉
BoW Ben
Hope the chaise wasn’t to uncomfortable!
Haha, was perfectly awesome Dave!
Great video guys. I do like those malifaux hired swords, a great box set.
I wish I could offer to help, photography is a hobby of mine, but work and family mean I couldn’t guarantee being there.
Sunday Morning: check. Weekender XLBS: check. Easter Egg: check!
I will put myself forward for writing jobs on Historical or Steampunk/Weird; t’would be an honour! 🙂
Please please please! Someone technically minded. Can someone help me with the XLBS videos. I literally cannot watch more than 15 minutes of video before the player crashes and green screens. Then I have to reload the entire thing and try to get back to the previous spot! Can anyone give me any advice of how I can’t prevent this or at least make it less frequent!
Great vid so far though guys! 50 minutes in, but I have been trying to watch it for 2 hours now. 🙁
Lotan2012 can you expand a little here? what browser and OS, is it tablet,iphone , PC or Mac
Is your flash player upto date anything else running in the background
and the all fixing have you turned it off and on again 🙂
Cheers Soldado, should have expanded a bit.
Windows 7 version 6.1.
Firefox all up to date.
PC.
Falsh player all up to date.
Nothing but firefox open, only the BoW page open.
Tried turning it off and on again, but this happens to me pretty much every week, apart from the last XLBS for some reason.
It’s just getting really frustrating now!

What a tremendous resource the gaming atlas will be. I’m pretty sure there is nothing out there, that will be that comprehensive. I agree with Warren as the 4 ground stand was probably the best part of the show for me as well. Looking at their displays just conjured up so many gaming possibilities in my mind it was almost overwhelming. I also happened to be there when the team were filming, so I tagged on for the guided tour of the displays, the chap from 4G was great. I can’t wait to see the footage. I’d love to get… Read more »
great vid, but why is it in NO HIGH RESULUTION, the HD picture in youtube is muts better then flashieplayer HD ?
John has a real Sherman? Okay, he really is the “Tank God.”
John says: “Hey guys. I’m trying out a new scale for my tank playing pieces. It’s kinda tough to work with, but rewarding.”
Warren: “Sounds great. What scale is it?”
John: “Eh … 1-1.”
🙂
Dawn and I would be happy to help out with next year’s Salute. We were looking for a reason to plan a trip overseas. I sent you and Lloyd a PM. Great show as always.
Hey Guys Always love your coverage of Salute, somewhere that so far I’ve been unable to attend myself. As for volunteering to help out, there’s a few areas I think I would be useful, firstly is photography, huge passion of mine, not sure if you want photos of people, models, tables or a combination but ill email you guys some of my work. Secondly as a writer (sci-fi) I’m planning on writing up and producing some battle reports and things with my friends but at the moment I’m just planning things so unfortunately no examples of that just yet. Finally,… Read more »
Thanks a lot to the guy who gave me the other Blood Bowl board, I think your name was Simon. I am sorry I got your name and handle wrong in the show, but as Warren says, my attention span really is abisSQUIRREL!
Great show guys, I’m hoping you got a chat with the guys on the Warploque stand as I forgot to visit it myself. Can’t wait till next years show! 🙂
For the gaming atlas maybe you should have states/province/local-equivalent and them add a radial bubble of space center from where you are or any specific point, because Googlemaps has gps coordinates for every single point and the code for getting all the places that are inside that bubble is pretty easy ( i can send you a code example in javascript if you want ), them you can expand the bubble or make it small depending on how far are you willing to go or time available you have for traveling ( google also computes that for us, both for… Read more »
As always happy to help out how I can, think the Mrs kind of fancies coming along to see what Salute is all about anyway.
I might help with photo etc on next year salute, if i can get date on next year Salute so i dont Double-book myself since i will be in Anaheim Califronia attending Star Wars Celebration
I’d love to volunteer but can’t guarantee I’ll be free next April (in fact chances are I’ll be up to my eyes in it). Pencil me in for 2017!
Hey guys,I’d love to volunteer for Photography, I can send you over some images if you want I have my own Camera and lenses.
I would also like to do some writing, I can do any or the topics you looking for but pulp and sci-fi would be best. Again I can send you some articles I have written for other sites, as well as some creative writings
