Sounds cool, but hopefully not entitled "Bandwidth Exceeded"? ;)
Would be good to drum up some interest across the hobby.

That would be us! We're very interested in having the Bros featured in our next issue. We believe that this does bring some interest to the hobby and glad to have them aboard - not to mention some beers at GenCon '10!

Greetings!

Nice choice of quote from Rob Kuntz in Keith Hackwood's article in the latest issue and good to read that "mission statement" on your forum. (Not a word 'bout edition this-or-that there, which some might consider a blessing, too!).

Hello faro, thanks for the greetings. I hope my last post didn't sound like a plug because that wasn't the intent. I'm glad I found this forum. I'm quite an avid collector myself and this seems to be a great place to hang my hat for a while.

Keith Hackwood is quite the guy. We're very happy to have him as one of our writers. He's always got something interesting to say. Besides he's a great contrast to some of our other articles which are more tongue in cheek. I'd like to think that we have something for everyone.

As you probably already seen, we are very game agnostic and certainly edition agnostic. We do have our own RPG in the works which you may see an Ad here and there in the magazine but generally we keep our mags free of that sort of thing (we have to pay the bills somehow though - mostly by plugging some of our own stuff).

For now we're happily chugging along and when I saw this game room, my jaw dropped to the floor and I had to find out who was responsible for the beauty I just saw. I'm glad that the Bros were willing to chat with us.

Interesting site....I'll have to devote more time to checking it out later.  One of the first things I checked out was the Interviews section.  The one with Lou Zocchi in particular interested me.

The photo near the bottom on the left shows the Acaeum's very own Bracton and stratochamp having a conversation with Lou over a very distinctive map.  :D

Hello bigironvault

It would be interesting if you were to pop over the the Random/OT strand and tell us about your online resource and your current game business projects.

i had forgotten that they were conducting that interview when bracton wanted to stop by to purchase some hex paper.... bracton is wearing a miskatonic u. shirt and i'm in a speed racer shirt; we really look like a couple of gaming nerds standing next to colonel sanders in that photo... ironic that i was pointing out some feature of the city-state and then bought the lone remaining original city-state map a few months later.

Speak for yourself.  You may look geeky.  I happen to think that Miskatonic shirt is quite snazzy.   :wink:

This is your D&D room? 8O

I'd love to have a room like this in our house for anything!
My God, this is impressive.  

And your collection: Wow!!
I don't own this many books, let alone this much RPG and wargame material.

And .... you built it yourself.
That's even more mind-boggling.
I couldn't drive a nail with a hammer.

Thanks for showing us
Keith
