1) Not actually free. Need a different pass type to get one.

2) It comes out April 13th. We have known that for a bit now.

this game going into swag bags at adepticon is probably one of the best marketing efforts they could have done because it is putting the game in the hands of players that most likely haven't been following it or were not really planning on buying in, now though they have a copy they can bring back and mess around with and play with at their FLGS and with this being a minis game the best way to get people interested is to have people SEE the game played in person...

Not to mention how many copies are probably being played all over Adepticon because of this?

Yeah I understand it sucks for us to not be able to play it but we should not be mad about this because it is exposure for a game we WANT to succeed...

I completely agree with you and didn't say otherwise.

I know it was just the first quotable topic so I just expanded on it then got all ADD on my topic...then a turtle came along, and then I thought why is there a turtle in my office, then I hit send post AKA i'm strange

I for one would still like to know why there was a turtle in your presumably indoor office.

Was the turtle moving slow, or fast?

What else am I suppose to use to send messages?!?

So you work for the U.S Post Office?

I love reptiles, we own a gecko and his name is Dr Horrible because I'm a full on geek. In fact I even have a Firefly tattoo to prove it.

However, you guys don't have wild Haggis to chase through the heather filled fields so we have to beat there.

I can't tell you how many people I had come up to me today for a demo because "I have never heard about this game, but I got the free copy and want to learn to play". Pretty sure we made a bunch of new fans today.

I've never played a war game before (I don't consider X-Wing a war game) so as soon as I saw FFG was putting this out, I was in. If by chance I don't like it, I'll still have a great time painting my miniatures and get them to a good home

You're so lucky - they are so cute! (at least before they've been skinned and cooked).

Do you have much trouble with bagpipe spiders?

At BoW, AdeptiCon 2017 Live Blog – Day One , they break down the entire bag and walk through day 1. Dawn does announce they will have a Runewars centric interview posted before the weekend is over along with, she hopes, a play through.

Had to google that one, hadn't heard of them before. In reality walking through Scotland is just being bit by midges while seeing the odd stag and pheasant or foxes in the city itself. That said I was surprised in the local news yesterday to hear of a local creature for the first time.

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to seeing all the painting guides from the BoW weekend. I'd have went if I knew for certain at the time I'd be free that weekend.

I like how this year people were given the option to not get the swag bag, buy has someonewho been to last 8 Adepticon, the bag is always worth it. Heck, I wanted to get the VIG swag, but sold out.

Speaking for myself, this whole Adepticon giveaway has been a fantastic opportunity to practice meditative control over my emotions, what I can control vs what I can't, and my general rabid, nerdy desire for instant gratification.

Just grabbed a starter off of Ebay for 80.

Shut up now.

I already pre-ordered 2 copies and I really don't need to wind up with a 3rd copy so please shut up now.

Edit: Because you said that, I cancelled 1 pre-order and ordered a 75 dollar copy on ebay. You may speak again as my runewars self-control has already been lost.
