Afternoon folks,
I'm just back from Baltimore Games Day, which was a really good event, even though gremlins in the warp conspired to lose a pallet containing Courage and Honour and The Killing Ground as well as Nathan's Battle for Skull Pass. Oh well, regardless of that, it was yet another event of lovely, enthusiastic fans and lots of signing. So, thanks to everyone for coming along and saying hi and making Nathan and I feel very welcome. We enjoyed the seminar a lot, as it was a good mix of questions and discussions, and didn't get entirely hijacked by Horus Heresy stuff, so good work everyone! Also, thanks to the guy who singled me out for a question with the words, 'This question's for the guy in grey...' That made me laugh. You know when you've arrived, when you're known as the guy in grey. Or perhaps it's like a Johnny Cash thing...like the Man in Black, just not as dark. So, all in all, a great show, and here's some pics to show you what you missed if you weren't there.
The Red Orktober, which was awesomely well built and the photo doesn't really do it justice.
The Squig cake the guys at Mythic had made. It was cut up later in the day, and though I begged them to let me to 'cut' it with an axe, they said no...
The 404th Remnant Legion, who probably spent more time posing for pictures than seeing what was on show at Games Day.
Nathan and I after dinner at the Rusty Scupper and posing in one of Baltimore's picturesque fallout shelters. Anyone who finds Nathan's missing leg will be suitably rewarded...In other signing newsI'll be in Manchester this weekend, May 16th. I'll be signing copies of Courage and Honour (or anything else of mine for that matter) on May 16th from 12-2pm at the Manchester Arndale Centre store. Hope to see you there!
And a mini competition for you...While at Games Day Baltimore, I was signing a copy of Mechanicum for a nice man called 'The Jim', but caught a snippet of conversation from Nathan next to me and ended up signing the book to 'The Bob'. Rather than waste this copy of the book, I figured it could make a good prize, together with some other goodies I have here. So if you're called Bob and would like to win a signed copy of Mechanicum, or have some other pressing reason why you need a book signed to Bob, reply to this post with your reasoning in 50 words or less. In a couple of weeks, I'll pick a winner and send some stuff on to you. Good luck!
Cheers and speak to you soon,
Graham
