We have another registration window opening this weekend.

02:39
< Mantisking>
Just register then tell us on the FB page, G+ group, Flickr group or somewhere else what your screen-name is and we'll activate you.

not much. how bout yourself?
16:40
< DeathZero>
same, hangin out round the house watchin my son. fiddlin with these little kreo microchanger transformers.
16:41
< DeathZero>
they look cool in their vehicle forms. I think I'm going to have robots in disguise parked around my battlefield. lol.
16:42
< MittenNinja[phone]>
haha nice
16:43
< DeathZero>
there's a few that didn't look so good, I'ma try to find a way to use their parts for weapons for my Gundam squad.
16:46
< MittenNinja[phone]>
i seem to be the only one not drinking the gundam kool-aid
16:46
< MittenNinja[phone]>
i just never got into it
16:46
< DeathZero>
I think I might have kicked that off when I built my gundam mini-frames
16:46
< MittenNinja[phone]>
possibly
16:47
< MittenNinja[phone]>
ive always been a battletech, heavy gear, front mission guy
16:47
< DeathZero>
I do like those series, but Gundam was my first mecha love.
16:47
< MittenNinja[phone]>
mechwarrior 2 was mine :)
16:48
< DeathZero>
cool
16:48
< DeathZero>
btw, been enjoying seeing your blog going again. good reads.
16:49
< MittenNinja[phone]>
thanks man.
16:50
< MittenNinja[phone]>
theres been a decent local following here in denver and i think its kind of revitalized my drive to write again
16:50
< MittenNinja[phone]>
in fact i may have a regular mfz night going at one of the local game shops soon.
16:50
< DeathZero>
sweet. I still have only found 2-3 people here in Indy and they're all too far away to play regularly.
16:51
< DeathZero>
hoping to get together with Wiking again sometime soon and play.
16:51
< MittenNinja[phone]>
nice
16:51
< MittenNinja[phone]>
yeah i was bummed i couldnt make it to gencon this year
16:51
< MittenNinja[phone]>
hopefully next year
16:52
< DeathZero>
that'd be awesome
16:52
< MittenNinja[phone]>
you should see if you can make it out to the denver comiccon next summer.
16:52
< MittenNinja[phone]>
im trying to organize something big for it
16:52
< DeathZero>
That'd be nice, but I do good to have the money to goto Gencon and its in the same town as me. lol
16:52
< MittenNinja[phone]>
for sure
16:53
< MittenNinja[phone]>
there is a chance that josh will be coming out for the comicon. which would be friggin sweet
16:54
< DeathZero>
question, have you managed to get extra copies of the book for selling at demos?
16:55
< MittenNinja[phone]>
i wont have any for the demos im running this fall, but thats more due to the fact that i would need to pay vendor fees to be able to sell stufd
16:55
< MittenNinja[phone]>
there is a local store that is carrying it though, so ill be able to refer people there.
16:56
< DeathZero>
ahh, well if you do come to that, me and wiking ran an idea by Josh at one point
16:56
< MittenNinja[phone]>
if josh can come out for comicon we will see if we can get an table in the vendors hall
16:56
< MittenNinja[phone]>
what was that?
16:56
< DeathZero>
we were talking about setting up a demo somewhere and getting cheap usb drives and loading the rules pdf on them to give away.
16:56
< MittenNinja[phone]>
thats a great idea!
16:57
< MittenNinja[phone]>
im pretty sure there are printing companies that could even do them with the mfz logo on am
16:57
< MittenNinja[phone]>
dont know how much thatd run though
16:57
< MittenNinja[phone]>
thatd be badass
16:57
< DeathZero>
that'd be cool, probly cost a good little bit though
16:57
< DeathZero>
hadn't even thought of doing that, neat idea.
16:58
< MittenNinja[phone]>
depending on how much it might be worth it
16:58
< MittenNinja[phone]>
just for the advertising aspect
16:58
< DeathZero>
yea
17:00
< DeathZero>
I'm looking up some places to do that now
17:00
< Brody>
And the cool looking flash drive aspect
17:01
< DeathZero>
http://www.encoredataproducts.com/custom-printed-usb-flash-media/bulk-custom-pri nted-flash-drives/?gclid=CIqvwPmA9rkCFeYWMgodujcA5Q
17:01
< DeathZero>
that looks about the cheapest option
17:03
< MittenNinja[phone]>
so minimum youre looking at $600
17:03
< MittenNinja[phone]>
thats for 100
17:04
< DeathZero>
looks like it, most places it looks like hundreds of dollars for a set.
17:04
< MittenNinja[phone]>
how much are non printed ones?
17:05
< DeathZero>
I could buy a pack of like 5 at the local frys for 10 bucks or less at 1gb sizes.
17:05
< Brody>
http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/bulk-usb-flash-drives_8.htm
17:07
< MittenNinja[phone]>
you definitely dont need more than 1gb
17:08
< DeathZero>
yea, could probably go as low as 128mb even
17:09
< DeathZero>
still gonna be a bit of money if you want 100 or so.
17:09
< DeathZero>
part of the idea we ran by Josh was selling them for like 2-3 bucks a peice to cover most of the cost of the drives.
17:09
< Brody>
Depending on how much space there is, you could even include some community designed frame instructions
17:09
< DeathZero>
that's just a thought though
17:10
< DeathZero>
yea, that was another thing we had thought about including was frame instructions.
17:10
< Brody>
5 dollars would be easier. Its a flat bill, no change.
17:10
< Brody>
And covers most of the cost
17:10
< DeathZero>
would be, but I was going for as minimum a cost as possible.
17:10
< DeathZero>
even 1 dollar a stick would help offset a good bit of the costs if you can get rid of all that you take.
17:11
< Brody>
Yeah, I just hate having to make change.
17:11
< DeathZero>
lol.
17:11
< Brody>
True.
17:11
< DeathZero>
another idea to brand the sticks! just hit my head, get MFZ logo stickers made
17:11
< DeathZero>
and slap em on there.
17:12
< DeathZero>
could be cheaper than buying custom printed sticks
17:12
< DeathZero>
especially for somebody that has a printer capable of that.
17:14
< MittenNinja[phone]>
absolutely
17:14
< MittenNinja[phone]>
stickers would be great!
17:14
< Brody>
But on top of the cost of the flash drive, would it be cheaper to just buy pre-printed ones?
17:14
< MittenNinja[phone]>
the only issue with charging for them is that if your demoing at any organized con, they will require you to pay vendor license fees to sell anything
17:15
< MittenNinja[phone]>
which can be hundreds
17:15
< DeathZero>
ah, that sucks
17:16
< MittenNinja[phone]>
i know getting a vendor table at denver comiccon last year was about $600 for the smallest table they had
17:17
< MittenNinja[phone]>
im sure that with the cons success it will only go up
17:17
< MittenNinja[phone]>
the difference is that moat vendors are there to make money
17:17
< MittenNinja[phone]>
so $600 isnt a big deal if by you're going to sell
17:18
< MittenNinja[phone]>
around $5000 of stuff
17:18
< MittenNinja[phone]>
or more
17:19
< MittenNinja[phone]>
for our purposes, we arent there to make money, were there to get the word out
17:19
< MittenNinja[phone]>
best bet is to partner up with a vendor and work something out so that they can sell the books/usb drives at their booth
17:19
< MittenNinja[phone]>
then you just send people there
17:20
< DeathZero>
that'd be cool
17:21
< Brody>
Or even have the flash drives next to a donation bucket?
17:23
< MittenNinja[phone]>
im not sure on if that would work or not
17:23
< MittenNinja[phone]>
but thats a good idea
17:23
< MittenNinja[phone]>
ill have to look into it
17:32
< MittenNinja[phone]>
im probably going to have 5 or 6 companies out at Feast of Blades. i didnt think id be able to swing that many and still have them look cohesive.
17:32
< MittenNinja[phone]>
could get two games going at once!
17:34
< MittenNinja[phone]>
three if someone brings their own
17:45
< DeathZero>
woot, sorry bout disappearing, got a phone call from Wiking.
17:45
< DeathZero>
looks like I may get to play again here in a couple weeks.
17:47
< MittenNinja[phone]>
nice!
17:48
< DeathZero>
yea, been itchin to play.
17:52
< Brody>
Where is Feast of Blades?
17:53
< DeathZero>
Probly Denver
17:53
< DeathZero>
I believe that's where Mitten's at now.
17:59
< MittenNinja[phone]>
yeah denver
18:00
< MittenNinja[phone]>
its a big 40k tournament and tabletop con
18:03
< Brody>

18:03
< MittenNinja[phone]>
