The MBS Adepticon 2017 Thread
« on: November 29, 2016, 10:48:45 am »
Adepticon 2017 registration is open! How many of you are going?

I will be there again myself. I'm planning on playing in the DW, FSA, and BFG tournaments, which leaves Friday open. I'd very much like to coordinate a meet-up of MBS members if we can work it out.

Also, I did a run of T-shirts for the show last year...any interest in another T-shirt for this year?

I've started a series of posts on the MBS blog to discuss my preps. Take a look!

I have two:

"Paying off Last year's credit cards"
and
"Unmitigated Jealousy"

 I will not be attending either, but it's not much of a loss.

Well...I think it it is. I won't be able to hang out with you and play games if you are not there  8)

EDIT:

I've also got the next entry in my Adepticon prep series:

I still plan on going to Adepticon, but I don't have all the pieces in place, yet. I am hoping the tournaments don't fill up.

The primer missions for the Adepticon Spartan games events are up! I've got some thoughts on the blog:

Adpeticon is almost here! Just like last year, I plan on doing a quick post on the blog at the end of each day, and will be taking lots of pictures. I'm super excited! Here is my last preview blog:

I eagerly await someone's recounting of the GW seminar... and the GNT industry dinner.

But also, some word and pictures of those Spartan things which Vanguards may know, but dare not speak of. :-)

I would greatly appreciate any pics of the Halo tables (both Fleet Battles and Dirt Fight).

Day 1 summary is up on the blog!

http://www.manbattlestations.com/blog/2017/03/25/adepticon-day-1-2/

I would greatly appreciate any pics of the Halo tables (both Fleet Battles and Dirt Fight).

I got a few from HFB yesterday ;).

I eagerly await someone's recounting of the GW seminar... and the GNT industry dinner.

But also, some word and pictures of those Spartan things which Vanguards may know, but dare not speak of. :-)

Not much to tell from the GW seminar. The big announcment from the show is that they are doing a new Dwarves faction for AoS. They also said that 40k 8th Edition would NOT be AoS Innnnn Spaaaace. I asked about BFG, but they had no idea (turns out the guys visiting the show do not work on Specialist Games stuff).

Thanks for the update. The whole thing looks fantastic. Maybe a CO road trip next year to Adepticon?
