3. Way more alcohol than you see at a game convention.  Game night has an open bar and lots of snacks (popcorn, pretzels, cookies, etc) and there are beer bottles / cocktail glasses on every table.

You'll be incorporating this into the Origins booth, yes?

Believe me, if I could....   :dreamer:

4. Not a single person has mentioned a "tee time" - fuck golf!

My Dad always said golf was a way to ruin a good walk, and I totally agree.  :bigthumb:

Thank you for sharing your GAMA experience, it was interesting to see some of the retail side of our hobby. Now that you have attended GAMA as a journalist, are you going to try to attend every year to cover the Expo?

Well, the next 3 years overlap my wife's birthday, so the magic 8 ball 🎱 says "not looking good"

Great to hear Renegade is moving forward with Squad Leader. Let's just hope that all the "player engagement" doesn't end up turning it into ASL, because like you said the majority of players have moved to ASL... but that doesn't make it better. Squad Leader was great as it was straight forward without all the bloat.

I am hopeful based on the discussion that I had with them, but always cautious when talking to company employees because they obviously want to put the best spin on something they can

If this is next year, same time, I can try to do it since it's closer to me than you. :)

Just let me know when the time comes.

Nope.  Next year it moves to Louisville, KY for 3 years.

Interested where the Squad Leader goes ... did they buy the license from MMP?  I thought MMP bought both ... I guess not.   How about the PzL/PzB update that has been teased for a while?


Hope it is true and brings as much gaming enjoyment as those two have for me over the years.

"Squad Leader" and "ASL" are two completely separate licenses so this doesn't affect MMP (directly, anyway)
