Awesome! Thanks for getting the thread up. I'll be there.

[Rÿchean]

I will get the maps selected in a few days or so.

It is pretty damn awesome of truth to let us have it at plaid Hat. We will probably mostly be set up in the warehouse.

Don't be mucking with stuff & bring your own refreshments responsibly. It should be a blast!!

You can't blame a guy for trying, right?

I know some of you have moved or never lived here in the first place, but you had attended in the past, shown interest, or live here now. Don't worry if you no longer have a heroscape collection as mine is open to any who need to borrow anything. I am sure others can help too.

Please join us!

Anybody else we can try to scare up??????

Still hating on Marvel... SMH

[caps]

I'll be in Texas the next weekend, but unfortunately CO-to-TX is a much longer drive than OK-to-TX, so I won't make it.

I did share this thread with some friends that live in the area and some others that might imaginably commute from OK.

[Rÿchean]

Thanks cap. I knew you wouldn't be able to make it here but figured I was blasting all these names, what could it hurt.

Hey ninthdoc! good to see you post for the first time in nearly 6 years. That made the shoutout worth it right there.

I could be fuzzy but I don't recall you being too vocal about marvel mix at tournaments. What is your opinion of the restricted list?

[Rexmax2]

I should be there for this tournament, not sure about who else is coming with me

[StacySensei]

I will probably be coming. Trying to get Kirk to come as well.

[lefton4ya]

I wish I could go. I remember when PlaidHat games was in Fremont, OH (when it was just Colby aka @truth and a few friends) and we had a Heroscape & Summoner Wars tourney in NE Ohio that Frank aka @killercactus organized and truth came to it. Now I checked the link in the OP to PlaidHat's about page and I guess Colby moved to Texas and Frank (killercactus) works as a Summoner Wars' Lead Playtester; man times have moved on.

[aahzmandius]

I'm still out there, though I no longer have my collection of HS stuff.
Will give it a think and get back to you.
