Number 100 and Counting

Posted by Ranillon on 3. May 2009 22:00

This is our one hundredth posting and accordingly I want to take some time out to speak about the future of this blog and the future of Games Workshop games at Origins.

The most immediate future is that Origins is just around the corner – June 24th through the 28th.  We are holding events on the 25th, 26th, and 27th.  To help get the work out I have produced a new flyer which you can download here or by clicking on the thumbnail at left.  It contains all the basic information needed to come and play.

I have a favor to ask of everyone – take a copy of this flyer and post it at your local gaming store.  Heck, hand it out to your friends, post it anyplace you can think of that it might attract the attention of gamers.  We want as many people as we can to pass the word around to make sure that this year’s Origins is a complete success for Warhammer 40K.

More than that, however, I want this Origins to succeed for the sake of future conventions.  I would like to see the activities that 40kOrigins.com run increase in number and size as the years go on.  I also want to spread out and encompass all Games Workshop games, most notably Warhammer Fantasy (if nothing else I’d have an excuse to paint more fantasy miniatures!).

So, expect bigger and better things from us as time goes on, including full coverage of this year’s Origins – pictures, recordings, and hopefully even videos.  My hope is that eventually we can turn Origins into one of the big GW events of the year.  After all, Origins is the second largest gaming convention in the world.  It ought to be home to one of the biggest GW gaming events as well!
