Thanks, Brant for the info. I found the geeklist and it does look like a lot of gaming is going to happen in the board room, so I guess I'll pick that up as well. I went to Origins in 2016 as a booth monkey, but I was able to spend some evening participating in the grogheads events. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to explore games that are hard for me to get to the table.
I'm bringing my (much) younger brother this year and he's really into 40k. I saw a few 40k events on the schedule, but not much else. Does anyone know how much GW / 40k presence there is at Origins?
