Let me check with work, I am not sure I have vacation time yet. But I am only an hour away, so its possible I could still run games, at minimum on the weekend. If I dont have vacation yet, I would not be able to do it on Thursday or Friday. I will try to figure out if I am able, and let you all know...

Last year I ran four Chaos Earth games, with different set ups. One being a combination Chaos Earth / Dead Reign And one being Chaos Earth / Minion Wars. I had a lot of positive feed back for both Chaos Earth and Dead Reign. I have ran games almost every year since GenCon hit Indianapolis. Previous ...

JimmyB

I havent started yet, with the number I have to build I am taking some time to prep.
So figuring out what glue works best, best way to handle decals, what to pre assemble and
how many to assemble at same time. etc etc.

JimmyB

Finally settled in at my new place and had a chance to really dig into this. And I have to say... WOW. I have been gaming for nearly 40 years. RPGs, Box games, and Mini war games of every type imaginable. At this point I consider myself a serious collector. This game is one of the best quality ones ...

This is a public facebook album, so everyone should be able to see it.

I will try to have a pic of the pile soon. In the middle of moving has made this a rough month.
But give me a good week and I should have room to set it all out for a pic.

JimmyB

I am still not sure where I stand for this year.
A lot going on , on the personal side unfortunately.
I will definitely update here as I know more.

JimmyB

There will be some available again in January I think.
But there are definitely more going to be available
before the open house. I am hoping to get one myself
at that point.

JimmyB

I'm still waiting on my Battle Cry box, and I was number 406. Hey Silvermoon. Just some thoughts, since I do not know your situation. I drove to the warehouse to get mine, because I was moving, and did not know where I would be moving to until very recently. I was not about to let a change of addre...

JimmyB

You Go Dude! When i want to put down a full size Warhouse War, I'm calling you for backup. HAHA, No problem. I will definitely have enough for some large scale wars. Had fun at the Warehouse, quite a few people there to help, and faces popping in and out all day picking up orders and such. . I was ...

JimmyB

The Warehouse is CHAOS!!! Pallet after Pallet of one of the best looking box games I have seen. 144 Battlecry boxes per Pallet. Its just... Pretty I have been going through a lot of changes. Forced job change causing a forced move into an Apartment. I have never lived in an apartment o.O a lot to ge...

JimmyB

Shadow Chronicles submissions are acceptable, so I dont see why Tactics wouldnt be.

JimmyB

If you go strictly by definition, they either
directly see you. As they have a LOS range.

OR, They simply "SENSE" you.
This range ignores LOS, it simply
works on proximity.

JimmyB

I think 1/2 the people whining are only upset because they planned to sell it on E-Bay anyway, and were hoping to cash in on the "Before release" buyers. We have even had posts that confirm this, claiming that not getting it early hurts them financially. As far as I am concerned. These few...

JimmyB

Customization: This is an easy one. For those who got to see the models on display at Gen Con, or have seen them at the warehouse. These miniatures were made for customization. They come with multiple arms and legs. Extra bits of all kinds. And they are made of plastic. For those who play other mini...

JimmyB

The money from the kickstarter is being used only to produce the product in the kickstarter. Getting tables at Gen Con had to come from other funds. And at the price per table, it was simply to high. But for those who haven't paid attention. GenCon has already said that if we have as good of a showi...

NEMA was during the Golden Age and represented the peak of technology. Everyone was genetically altered. Everyone was cybernetically enhanced, and everything down to their ATVs were nuclear powered. If you compare all of the power armor and robots to the FR-EX 220 suit. It is easy, almost obvious, t...

JimmyB

No Bacon!!!!!

Im glad I am not NMI....

JimmyB

Im a strong advocate of the Multi-Verse. A new system is just another resource for me

JimmyB

Just some clarity. As I agree a Military Mobile Hospital would be a very good place to be. Their is nothing new in the modern Medical Units. I was in the last MASH unit when it was dissolved. The only thing that changed, was the designation of the unit. The actual equipment (ie the Hospital) Is stil...

JimmyB

I think the Minis are amazing. I have been collecting miniatures for a good 35 years. fantasy and Sci Fi of all types. And both Robotech and Battletech have always been favorites. But not only that, as a player of a certain "Bug" army in a game that shall not be named. I have become an adv...

JimmyB

Jaymz. You don't have to be a gaming freak setting up at every convention within 50 miles. If you do what you can do, then you are promoting the games, and that is all that matters. Myself as an example. My job is fairly aggressive, getting more than just Saturday and Sunday off is difficult, so I o...

JimmyB

I will most likely be going Solo. Depends though, since I am only an hour away. My gaming group usually always shows up for Saturday though. At this point I do not have tickets, as I am between contracts. But I will be making hotel reservations this weekend to make sure I am covered. And I intend to...

JimmyB

Im old school Battletech. So couldn't say on the "classic" version. Everything I have is from back before FASA sold it. The IIC is a sweet mini, I have a few of them. But the original Warhammer has been my favorite from the beginning. I know it well as the Excalibur and Tomahawk as well. B...

JimmyB

hey Jaymz. A nice little history lesson for those who love all the Mecha games. Personally I would not count the Warhammer IIC though, as it is a Clan Variant and does not look the same. In truth it looks much closer to the new version of the Warhammer. On that note, I like all of them regardless, b...

JimmyB

Black Market has sold out two years in a roll now. A Huge Success right there. Being someone who goes to Gen Con every year if possible. (I have missed a few here and there.) I generally buy all the new books every year, while at Gen Con. So I get a rather unique perspective on how well they are doi...

JimmyB

I have been running games at Gen Con Indy since 2003, and I have to say this year was insane. The number of games and even more importantly the number of gamers this year was incredible. Seeing every game table full with add ins was great. I for one am looking forward to doing this again next year. ...

JimmyB

Gen Con was pretty crazy this year.
Was great to meet everyone.

JimmyB

Normally I try not to mention other games on these forums, but I think it is relevant here. I have played both Battletech and 40K since they began. And I love to paint my own miniatures. It is true these minis are not painted to a 40K standard, which is VERY high. I have participated in the Golden D...

JimmyB

I don't know of any that were not in Ballroom 9.
But I can say, it was packed the entire 4 days.
So it would make sense that a few may have
had to be scheduled somewhere else to get them
on the schedule.

JimmyB

I forgot how much work it took to run games every day at gen Con.
By the time i was done Saturday night, I was pretty much toast.
But it was a lot of fun, and was nice meeting so many people from on here.

JimmyB

We managed to combine Nightbane with Heroes in our game.
I agree though, I like the original intent for them. So I tried to
keep the unique feel of Nightbane for those characters.

JimmyB

I was hopin to be there today, but couldnt get tonight added to my room reservation
so I will be getting up at 3am and driving up early tomorrow. Should be hitting
Indianapolis around 730

JimmyB

If I am able to go I would have no problem sharing a room. Will have one to myself otherwise.

JimmyB

They do still have some of the old minis available.

I am personally anxious to get my hands on the Robotech stuff.

JimmyB

Im all set. Apparently I went a bit over the top, but that's ok.

Looking forward to seeing all the games.

JimmyB

Well, hopefully your next one will go better.

JimmyB

Unfortunately for me, my contract ended recently and I'm out of work.
Everything I saved this last year was to make it to Gen Con.
So I have to wait until Gen Con is over, and see where I stand money wise.
Hopefully I get a new contract here soon and wont have to worry about it.

JimmyB

What it needs is more participation here on the forums. All of the main forums, especially relating to the MAs should have someone who is available to check the forum on a daily basis, answer questions, and post updates. MA topics, Open House, and Gen Con should get more attention than what they do....

Cool, Thanks

I think a link in this forum would be a good thing though.
Can even thumb tac this thread.

JimmyB

I am not personally a big fan of PDFs, but.... A very good point is the fact that stuff is getting illegally reproduced as pdfs anyway. If that is what someones looking for. Although I would put it at maybe 50% of the total books at best. Secondly, Although there are pirated copies out there, they a...

JimmyB

I suppose if the guidelines were strict enough it is possible.
But it is still a concern. I have seen games that got distorted
beyond recognition before. Granted I am not blaming that on
Kindle Worlds.

JimmyB

It gives people free reign to write anything they want.
That is never good for any game.

JimmyB

Ok, maybe I'm getting senile.
But shouldn't there be links in this forum somewhere
for submitting to the Rifter?

I know they are here somewhere,
but apparently I have forgotten where.

JimmyB

Just my personal opinion, but I don't like Kindle Worlds.
I have written for fan magazines a few times, the rules are strait forward.
The way I see it, if someone wants to write fan fiction then submit it for the Rifter.

JimmyB

I concur.....

And I'm out.

JimmyB

Inherently flawed thread. The problem has never been the topic, it has been the specific attitude of some posters. Doesnt matter what thread you are in, if all you do is purposely post belittling comments and try to **** people off. Then threads are going to get locked. It is more than possible to v...

JimmyB

I do not have a site, but I have some very comprehensive tables for generating all the different
types of zombies to include all stats and abilities, and an expanded random hit table. Oddly enough
I created them for one of my Chaos Earth games at Gen Con this year.

JimmyB

Dang it, I was hoping this would be interesting.
More like a broken record......
