So Sanity Studios is going to a local convention and we will be judging some unpublished boardgames and also have a booth to show off our communities stuff. I want to take Mech Attack, some of Dave Graffam's stuff (if he'll let us), and of course some Onemonk stuff. I'm looking to get a wide variety of stuff to show off. The con is Feb 18-19 and I'm trying to give us enough time to assemble all this. Do you have any more good ideas for stuff to show? Also, if you're in the area come on down and say hi. We'd love to meet ya and play a few games together. |

Salt Lake's a little out of my range, but I'd be happy to provide you with anything of mine that you want to bring along. Send me a PM and we'll sort it out.

Utah...for some reason I thought you guys were based in Australia.
It would be fun to come, but that's a long ways from the central coast of California.
Are you looking to show off the commercial stuff or just anything interesting?

Yeah, plain ol' Utah. We're not as exciting as Australia (but I do own a kangaroo skin book bag). Really anything that shows the diversity of paper gaming. If it's commercial I would like to have the permission of the creators first, but if it's not (and it looks presentable  I'd like to show it off. I would like to keep it specific to our forum members however. Thanks Dave! I'll get a hold of ya. |

Don't sell your work short Tommygun. In several forums I notice your stuff on the tables. Usable, visually interesting, and of course the price.
You have some good stuff there.
Salt Lake in February ... I have enough snow here
It would give me an excuse to see some friends in Orem ...

Yeah tommy, that panorama shot really shows off your stuff. It looks good. Maybe we can work on getting it into a pdf w/ cut files and getting more publicity (ie on the front of onemonk  ). I don't have any current day stuff yet so I'll keep your stuff in mind. I've just got to find the time to build and cut all this (not to mention they only give you a 8'x8' space). |

Once you build the first building they come together pretty fast.
They are basically just boxes. The bigger ones are reenforced with chip board or cereal boxes.
I understand if you don't have the room.
I think the fort could be used to help display the fantasy figures?
Whatever you want to do or not is fine.

Just found that they have added a picture of me on their facebook page from the last SaltCON (2010). Kinda funny I hadn't noticed it before... |

Hey nik-don't know if they are what you are after, but I can let you have the files for the two free mini sets I have on RPGNow if you want any more items? Sorry I'm a little late to the party...  Let me know! |

Post by nikloveland on Feb 3, 2011 6:10:00 GMT -9
I went and grabbed them off of RPGNow. Thanks for the reminder. I also got Jabbro and Anitangel's freebies too (I think I already had them somewhere but I can't find them). If you do have 'cut file ready' versions of your stuff (and the GSD files that go with 'em) that would help since I've already got a huge backlog of things to cut. |

Hey nik-I'm afraid I don't have a cutter so haven't made cut ready versions-sorry! Hope the con goes well!

So I'm in full modeling mode. I bought 500 sheets of photo matte paper and I'm into my fourth box already (50 sheets per box). All that edging is gonna be a bear!   All I can say is it's lucky I have a Continuous Ink System and a cutter. Oh yeah, my trash can is also full of lamination scraps since we laminated most of Solid State War and Mech Attack. |

So it's less than a week away and I've got most of Mech Attack! done (finally). I think I would have to agree with Parduz that it does take a while to do a complete set (I understand you should do it in pieces but I'm a completion-ist [read as OCD or crazy I can't tell which]). We also played our first game which was quite fun. Here's a few pics of the models:    I found the record sheets were a bit small (but not until I had printed and laminated a ton of the small ones) so I enlarged them a bit (and laminated them of course). I will probably have to print/laminate some more. Now I have to get Solid State War going but I'm kinda bogging down without the cut files (am I spoiled?) I do have two planes cut but not assembled. I was hoping to have four of each color before the con. We will have to see how far I get. I do at least have some small plane top-downs printed if need be. |

That's an incredible collection. You can run several games at once with all those models. Very impressive...
The smaller record sheets are intended to fit in card sleeves like the Privateer Press games... But it might be a good idea for us to also include a larger size, then you could choose which one you wanted to use. Another advantage to being a print-and-play game.

SaltCON is tomorrow and I (as always) under estimated how much time it would take to get everything done. I am still in full modeling mode trying to get everything done. However, now that I look at it all, I'm not sure if it will fit on the display table. I guess we'll see tomorrow ;D I've got so much more I want to do though!  |

Wow! That's a great looking collection.
Funny enough, I'm driving up to Utah
tomorrow to see my folks. I'll still be
a long ways from Salt Lake, but I wish
I had timed this a little better. Might
have made it.
Have fun.
This is what you get for posting big
images.
;D

So here's another update. This is the display of Onemonk Minis we are bringing. I think they are quite impressive if I do say so myself ;D     And since I thought it would be cool to bring, all the 15mm guys I did a while back have been newly flocked. I have to agree with gilius in that 15mm is looking more and more attractive for a variety of reasons.    Enjoy! P.S. Here's the Dave Graffam's Solid State War stuff I'm taking as well. |

We went, we saw, we had a good time!  Here are some photos from Saltcon. We did some demos of our games including Mech Attack, and Solid State War. Those who played had a great time. We did our best to promote paper modeling, so hopefully it will be of some help to our cause. The only thing we forgot to bring were buckets to catch all the drool. Our whole display was slobbered on and ruined. Only joking, but really, we blew some fuzzy little minds with this stuff. People were blown away.  A look at the overall display.  Nik's 15mm undead and elf armies.   The wife of Boffo the Sane herself!  A nice look at our banner.   We hope we have stirred interest for paper miniatures. We will probably go back next year and do it all over again. |

My compliments for your showcase.
Other than the insane amount of work to put all that things together, i admire your willing to promote the whole market by showing "competitor" games and stuffs on your own table.

As a great Canadian often said: "I'm pullin' for ya. We're all in this together." It was a heap of fun and we had many people coming by. I like the captioned pic ;D That's good Aaron! |
