What verbage would best sum up and promote our Gameday?

I'm still a big fan of "HUGE DORKS!" in big, big letters and then general info about Gameday beneath.

Anyway, best to just make sure the name and date of the event are in big, readable-from-far-away text and general info follows. Pimp the Web site!

At least tentatively, if the date is truly set for the 12th, I think I'm going to be able to make it. The Illini are away at Purdon't that weekend, so that means there's no marching band which means my weekend is fairly free. So yeah...I might just have to come up for a weekend of nerdery...

I would be glad to see you. So far, it seems that Nov. 12th is the date.

Geekery, not nerdery.

A gaming-geek nerd like you ought to know better.

Or something.

To err is human, to forgive divine --- check Deities and Demigods out for the details. :lol:

Seriously, I think we need to firm a few things up on Gameday. I think that there is a general concensus on November 12th and the traditional schedule.

People are suckers for that kind of stuff.

Seriously, though, I'd probably put some emphasis on the variety of games offered, because there's usually a good assortment.

And newbies are welcome...that'd be a good thing to put on there too.

Oh...and the word FREE should probably be on there somewhere, too.

Can there be a mention for the painting seminar as well? I know the games are important.. but the painting seminar is so vastly different from the games that it could warrent a seperate mention on the poster?

There are ALOT of people that come to the Game Store that are very new to painting that it could draw some with the mention too

Thanks in advance just in case.

This is a GREAT idea, as it can help draw in many new people! Not all people who paint miniatures are into RPGs.
