Yeah, I'm a dick. I'm also poor. The two complicate each other. Throw in a miniatures habit, and well, no one really wants to be around me. Except deaf mutes. And that's just cause they don't know I'm there. Maybe we should now discuss the Co-Op idea more openly. Anyone else familiar with how these things work? Does the idea of a game store co-op raise your eyebrows? I've been pushing gaming co-op for years. They had a few of them in southern California that were awesome. Id be willing to meet with everyone and lay out the framework or just discuss how they worked.

...and Andy needs to quit his mob gig and help. Having endured the beating to get in my old bones are not up to suffering another to get out again. Anyway a few more years and I could get made - that or they will put a bullet in the back of my skull.

Well, consider me a casualty of the store closing. I'm definitely interested in any discussions regarding the future of the community, so that my unbroken chain of questionable list-making and tactical decisions can continue.

so that my unbroken chain of questionable list-making and tactical decisions can continue. It starts with your dice rolling. Get new dice and spend some time at the casino to work out your bad luck.

Great googly-moogly. On an unrelated note, has anyone played 30k? I've heard good things.

I want to try it. Marines don't have ATSKNF. Book III is out soon, Raven Guard are in it. Might have to waste a shit ton of money on different marines.

Love the Sea Green Sons of Horus scheme, once I ever finish my 40k Chaos (talk task since I want 1k of every major Traitor Legion minus Alpha Legion, because Alpha Legion) I'd love to start up some 30k.
Horus is damn sexy though and will definitely be purchasing him.

I have the first book, and its great - the legions work a little differently than do the normal SM armies, and the models are gorgeous. Lots of different weapons, the formation of units are very uniform - so 20 tactical marines with bolters, 10 marines with 10 meltas in an elite slot, etc. Very one-dimensional units, but who excel at their function.
A predator in 30k is a TERRIFYING foe to face, if that puts the game dynamics in perspective.

Something something Two Primarchs, closet-loyalists. That's about all I've got, and apparently GW feels the same way.

I'm guessing by a couple of the comments that I was not a welcome addition to NDG to some, but I did my best to try and turn things around to make it a store you guys wanted to support. Unfortunately I didn't offer to take over the events until the end of February and by then it was basically too late. And the guilt trips were there because they were hanging off the edge of the cliff, and needed a hand - desperately. I was privy to the finances near the end. No one made fat stacks. No one was making anything. Payroll, rent, and the mandatory monthly orders some of the distributors require - that was everything. And Nate and Marc weren't on the payroll. If they were, they never would have lasted as long as they did. Me, Josh, CC, rent, utilities. That's what was coming in $$$-wise - enough to cover that and some restocks.
Anyway, I liked the community there, which is why I joined this board today. If anyone wants to stay in touch and get some games in, hit me up on FB or PM me for contact info.

Hey Nick I don't think any of us think of you as an unwelcome addition by any means, and we love the tables and terrain you pumped out at NDG - any comments you took to mean that I'm sure weren't meant that way bud!
Welcome to the other guys - hopefully we can keep the community together and keep playing games together!

(Other) Nick,
I'm glad you signed up.
The vitriol sprayed all over this forum is definitely not directed at you, nor CC and Josh. Now, I can't speak for everyone here, but I know much of our disdain stemmed from the actions of the owners going back far before NDG opened its doors. However, I viewed continued interactions with them as a necessary evil; their tables and terrain was great so I'll give them business and if they go belly up well that's unfortunate but I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it.

Definitely a welcome addition in my book, was cool to see you performing some hobby duties and helping folks with painting/modeling lessons, especially with that kid a couple weeks back. He grabbed Typhus and you were there to jump in and teach him a bit of beginners etiquette lol, not to mention help him learn to clean his models before you primed them for him.
