Thread: Dust Demo Table for WGC2012 underway.

We've discussed it. Everyone like the idea, but there is a storage/transport issue. We'll see.

That's an interesting idea. How was the voting handled for the tables? Did they get to play on them? It would be interesting to have them voted on by the people who played on them during the con.

that's an awesome table billy! can't wait to see it at WGC

That might do in a pinch. I actually have plenty of palm trees, I just ran out of time to paint them and base them for the table.

Tables like this, while awesome, are unthinkably expensive to store. They need a lot of space and really can't be stored in a barn - rats will eat them and heat will melt them. So we're looking at a large climate controlled storage facility that is vermin-proofed. And that's after the expense of making the tables, which is not insignificant. We can probably afford to have 20-30 tables like this if we spend a year doing nothing else, but the tables will add $10 to every person's ticket cost just to pay for their storage. Every person, every year. Seems a bit much for the results, but I can be talked into it.

That said, we are definitely planning to do table terrain sets with reasonable levels of artistic design for the future. This year should have us with a pretty solid set of basic terrain, so future years should be focused on getting better pieces and terrain sets built.
