So wish I could afford to go, but after moving, I'll be too tempted to spend money I don't have.

fairoaks - its only an 8 hour flight from Manchester straight into Calgary, 16 hour round trip.

There are crazy folk out here that would consider that a 'road trip'

as for exclusives....godling maybe? :o

damian,

that wouldn't be beyond my usual realm of consideration, i'd make a holiday out of it, but currently it's financially impossible and also doomed by Azathoth (or the icelandic ash cloud of doom, as it's also known) lol

Ah yes- I forgot about the 'ash cloud'

Well, I will have my camera with me and will make sure to get some pics for all those held under the thrall of the mighty Azathoth  :)

As to Mikes comment...   lips are sealed :-X

That multilevel dino-dig board looks brilliant! :-* Is that posted up here or somewhere? Have I missed crucial information about it during a fit of insanity?
Title: Re: Any Strange Aeons at Calgary Comic Expo
Post by: Breten on April 27, 2010, 10:54:17 PM
There were some pics of that board awhile ago, but they may have disappeared off the servers they were on.

Ras'n fras'n servers, always taking away a glass half-full or an ashtray when you need it.
Now, a waiter is courteous, kind, clean & helpful. Just like a Kit Carson scout. o_o

Great Con and a great SA booth.

Right smack in the middle of horror alley right next to horror legend Sid 'Captain Spalding' Haig - Fantastic!

Rumour has is that not only is there a "Captain Spalding" mini out there but the man himself also played a game of SA with it against Uncle Mike :o

Everytime I walked by the Booth was always busy and im sure the cult has now grown even large. I know personally my wife is now a member after a great demo game at the con (i'll post a report in a fresh thread) - even picking up some lovely fishmen and scrawny ones.

First models my wife has ever bought for herself - EVER! Thanks UM!

ok on to some picture goodness;

God put them there to test us...
