Where is everyone playing?

I think what Bob is getting at is actually having rules behind how the points increase and special rules for the lower point games.

Kind of like a campaign.

We did a couple different kinds of Node campaigns before the group ran off in different directions. I wrote a node campaign where everyone started with a 500 point warband, but it never got off the ground.
The problem with campaigns is that they require a certain amount of commitment that a lot of people can't or are unwilling to make. As I state before, I am always willing to bring my armies up and help people learn the rules. Being that I suck at painting, most of my armies are unpainted. My Wood Elves are nearly all painted but my other 3 armies are either just primed or nekked.

Ditto on Crobar's concern towards committed campaigns.

About two months ago (before Thanksgiving) I was chatting with Eric at Nord's and am looking at support for Warlord at Sci-fi City, since that is one of their primary focuses. My thoughts there along that of a living campaign, mostly dungeon crawls and small actions.

A looong time ago at the World of Hobbies and Games when the miniature gaming was on one night I used to bring two or three armies for different games to keep the options open.

Along those lines something similar might work at Sci-fi City, like living campaigns for 40K, WFB, Warlord, etc. Personally I like to avoid driving anywhere where when the gaming is dead on that day.

Although like Marc said a bit back lugging stuff from the parking garage is something of a pain. Although that mall entrance looks to be a good deal in this regard. Besides wouldn't want to freak people out in Sear's passing through with pistol cases and filing boxes. Laughing

haha, yeah good point.

Wonder if there is any chance of getting lock boxes for models in the back?

I think I could be available most days or nights if we can setup a time when people are going to be there. Warlords isn't my game, I couldn't see eye-to-eye with one of the Blacklightnings and they made some rule changes I didn't like. I still have a bunch of Mercs that I never even took out of the blisters. Other than that, I am game; RPG, WFB, boardgames, I might even try the new confrontation.
