About the only thing that keeps me coming back to 40k is Adepticon. It is easily the best convention I've ever been to (and I've been three years). Adepticon is what GW should aspire all their events to be, and it shows that if GW just leaves alone (and maybe gives some prize support), fans can do it better than the company. Hail, hail all the volunteers and organizers!
See you there.
Of all of our readers only TWO of you are going to Adepticon?
C'mon people! There has to be more than dietrich and carrick going!
Im going but only playing Fri. and Sun.
