Just wanted to remind everyone that in addition to all the great things described above, Adepticon features the largest Lord of the Rings SBG tournaments in the United States. They will feature the the "Singles" LotR Championships on Friday (350pt armies) and the "Doubles" LotR Team Tournament (700pt team armies). We'll be posting more specific LOTR info in the near future. I can't emphasize enough how cool of an event Adepticon really is.

Thanks for the heads-up, Brent! Don’t think I’ll be able to make it again this year....But now I live near DC, so I think I’ll make it to Games Day this year.

The LOTR Championships are a singles tournament. The team tournament is, well, a team tournament. All of yhe tournaments are SBG! We will have a WOTR big game (miniatures provided) as well. By the way, if anyone is interested in attending but doesn't have a teammate, send me a PM and I'll see if I can help connect you with anyone local.

Unfortunately, I can't attend this year as I'll be out of town. However, I'm still promoting the event as much as possible and I'm still the lead LOTR terrain cooridinator.

Bummer that you won't be there Brent. Still, I am going to try and arrange my work schedule so that I can make it up there for the event!
