uncacreamy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I hear a rumor that Reaper will not be at this year's Gencon..is that true? Say it ain't so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Administrators kit Posted April 23, 2012 Super Administrators Share Posted April 23, 2012 I always get gencon and origins confused. We're missing one of them… I'm thinking it's GenCon, that's the one in August, right? We're doing PAX Prime in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing PAX Prime in August. That is the one in August. That quite depresses me. Money issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlebuilder Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It was because of logisitcs. GenCon and Pax Prime are just to close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Dang, I always look forward to seeing what new greens are in the display case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniCannuck Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That's too bad. I will have to relay this info to my gaming group. I know that the guys were really looking forward browsing the booth again this year. I guess they will have to find another minis booth to grab their attention like you did last year.

GreyHorde Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I will certainly miss all the Reaper Road Crew - Gen Con just won't be the same without you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilmonkey Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know I will miss seeing Reaper at Gencon... One of my favorite booths to visit when I can manage time away from my booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted April 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2012 Pax Prime. Is that the one in Seattle? I'm up north in Vancouver but have never been. I didn't realize miniature companies like Reaper attended. Much much easier for me to get to than either Gen Con or Origins. Tempting. Very tempting. What sort of things would Reaper be doing or offering there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Administrators kit Posted April 24, 2012 Super Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2012 That is the one in August. That quite depresses me. Money issues? Logistics is all. Hard for us to be in two places at once, quantum tunneling notwithstanding. Pax Prime. Is that the one in Seattle? I'm up north in Vancouver but have never been. I didn't realize miniature companies like Reaper attended. Much much easier for me to get to than either Gen Con or Origins. Tempting. Very tempting. What sort of things would Reaper be doing or offering there? As it turns out, not a lot of miniature companies attend, but many tabletop gaming companies are there. Our PAX presence is a booth with our stuff for sale and a free-for-all paint and take event. It was packed at PAX East. Lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same here. I tend to save up all my money for minis until Gencon, so I can see them, and the color of the paint, which is seriously hard to judge online. There are other booths, I guess! Lucky Pax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniCannuck Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I totally understand that you can't be at every convention. I hope that PAX is a great success. It will be weird not seeing Reaper at the biggest gaming convetion. I can just hear the tongues wagging now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I wish there was a way to do both shows, but PAX Prime and GenCon are less than 2 weeks apart, and that's just not enough time to get the booth and materials back to Denton, restocked, and shipped up to Seattle for the show (Transport alone is over half that time - 2 days home (via freight carrier) and 4 day transport time to Seattle eating up overhalf of our 10 day window, leaving em with 4 days to unpack, inventory, and resupply). We spend ages trying to work out timelines and it just became obvious that we couldn't manage both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's defiantly understandable as I feel crazy just for going to ComicCon and Gencon in the same year and I'm not managing a booth. At Gencon you're preaching to the choir but at Pax you have the oopportunityto bring new people to the hobby so I can see why you choose one over the other.

Qwyksilver Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If PAX East is any indication. We're gonna get some more console cowboys (and girls) hooked on analog gaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
