Adepticon and Gencon really are the high end commercial cons. The vendors put a lot into booths and supporting their game systems. It’s overwhelming as a consumer wanspd ring the vendor halls and it builds consumer expectations. If you could come to Apeditocn it would be great. GMs and vendors have ...

FWIW the SAGA National tournament has been at Adepticon in Chicago the last 4 years or so. I think FoW has their Nationals there too.

Adepticon has an interesting history as a very successful independently run convention.

I was wondering if there had been any thought about coming up with a specific name for the Fantasy version of Triumph!

But even this simple linear model is still a big improvement over...

I think you will see more and more of this type of activity from people taking their old armies or buying used ones and adapting them to Triumph! What type of activity? I'm now doing that with Prussian, Lithuanians, etc. Getting out the old DBA 2.2/3.0 Prussian army and comparing it stand by stand ...
