Winter Fantasy News update

[BrooklynKnight]

Well, i'm at Winter Fantasy. So far its great.

The day started out great with the Eberron preview at 10am.

Keith Baker, Charles Ryan, James Wyatt, and others spoke about the setting and Gave out a sheet with a complete prestige class. The Extreme Explorer. I'll post about him in a subsequent thread.

I was supposed to Dm the first slot for D20 Modern :Ghosts in the Endzone, but not enough players showed, so I was released and Stan! ran the adventure for the GM's.

We technically ended up playtesting the adventure since it wasnt done yet, and It was a blast. Last time he DM'ed me it was a TPK (GenConSoCal), this time I took a few hits but with good tactics I readily survived.

Gonna go back to the center to play some minatures, and hang out with Keith and Charles and Eric Cagle for a bit.

Let me tell you, these are some of the nicest most approachable guys in the industry.

For anyone who's an RPGA Living City player...that campaign will be discontinued.
Also announced from the RPGA is starting Retail packs. A Retailer will be able to register and receive 3 RPGA Adventures. Sets of minatures, and tiles among other things, for use at the store.

D&D Miniatures... wooboy.. Giants of Legend comes out in June. If I understoood Charles Ryan correctly, there will be two boxes. Standard boosters for 10, and the Giant packs consisting of 8 mini's in addition to one giant one. These WILL be more expensive but only by a few dollars.

Thats all i can really remember for now.

Another post will contain the Extreme Explorer...

Hi ArthurQ. I and a couple friends are leaving Friday morning from Pittsburgh for Winter Fantasy. We hope to be able to jump into a game either Friday evening and/or Saturday. Do you think that is a good possibility? This was a last minute decision to come out for a couple of days.

Ok, great, we will look for you. We will be leaving in about an hour and it's a 7-hour drive, so we should arrive around 3pm.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

did you show up?

 

[Mark]

Thanks for the updates, AQ. Keep em' coming!

 

[BrooklynKnight]

just did a new one...and about to post on some D&D Mini experiences.

Hi ArthurQ. Yes, we were there. We walked around the event on Friday night and spent alot of money at the vendor area (dissappointingly small), but then decided to go offsite for dinner and drinks.

Saturday we played in a Regents game at 8. I can't remember our DM's name, but he was an oriental gentleman from Australia. After that, we played Mini's till 9pm. Rob Heinsoo showed us how to play. He was a really nice guy. We ended up with lots of minis, too, but not as much as you did.

Sorry we were not able to meet up, but we did have alot of fun for a day and a half.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

yanno, we prolly met in the Mini's area and didnt even know it.

I spent most of my time there inbetween slots. I had the carrying case with 3 levels and a top bin with handles.

Though I won lots of mini's I could have won many more if I had time to play in more league play.

I came in 10th for the con. very dissapppointing.

I was there for the entire con. I played LG, LGR and LF, and had a blast. Next con, I'm bringing my own nametag, as the lack of them really wasn't a good thing. I'll be putting my board name on it as well as my real name.
