I will not make it this year but it's in the budget for next year.

The work you and guys like Wargamescon and Adepticon have put into your events is as monolithic as the scale of 40k itself. I can't wait, I suspect like ATC and Wargmescon this will be a must attend event for me in the years to come.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648678873393464343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-49921667424097354222011-08-03T06:43:17.852-07:002011-08-03T06:43:17.852-07:00You're doing a great job!

Especially when it's such a small fraction of the total cost of travel, hotel, etc. <br /><br />My dad used to run model railroad conventions, so I know that events like this almost always lose money. You do it for the love of the hobby and I appreciate that.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-85089316994352798942011-08-03T04:09:22.097-07:002011-08-03T04:09:22.097-07:00Well two days of into the night work days later an...Well two days of into the night work days later and Aug 3 is now packet day "for real."<br /><br />The number of site hits coming off this link is absurd, so I apologize for making you all repeatedly click the NOVA Open site looking for the packet.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-65610922266650415352011-08-01T21:16:50.903-07:002011-08-01T21:16:50.903-07:00Looks great Mike.

But i think its a great idea to let the general public know that these thing are done for the love of the hobby and certainly not for a profit.<br /><br />Most tournaments lose money.. tournaments that do get lucky enought to make a few bucks put it back into next years tournament.<br /><br />BTW... you fuckers are felting your boards ! i love it. Expensive but i must say awsome. I priced it out doing it that way but decided against it. Maybe when you have a free second (lol) i would love to hear where you got the product from.pissclamshttp://pointandclick-pissclams.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-6053779448861395752011-08-01T08:04:06.282-07:002011-08-01T08:04:06.282-07:00And just to remind folks that when GW used to host...And just to remind folks that when GW used to host Grand Tournaments - the cost was $125+ (just to play the tourney) and not any where close to the overall quality of the NOVA.Morgrim Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231119283709857424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-38543016665288181452011-08-01T06:56:25.224-07:002011-08-01T06:56:25.224-07:00Great job and work Mike and team.

So much happens behind the scenes more so for a larger event like Nova. Thanks for putting it together so we can all show up and throw dice and win random prizes. =)Drkmoralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962297452363508577noreply@blogger.com
