Hard to believe
that it’s nearly a year since we officially threw open the doors
for everyone! More on that in the coming days though. I check the
Snake Eyes Gaming blog almost every day, only to be teased by that
drunken dwarf! Each time I see him reclining, pipe in hand - I think
about all of the exciting things that we could be using the space on
the blog for: articles, campaign journals, tournament results,
product reviews, major announcements, guest articles, etc. Of course
we will continue to use the Snake Eyes Facebook page for
conversations, announcements, finding a game, and all of the great
things that we as a community use it for right now.
Things were different when we started
the Blog. Snake Eyes Gaming existed only to organize events for
Warhammer 40K and built showcase tables for premier 40K conventions.
As you all know, times change and the focus of Snake Eyes Gaming has
expanded as a result. Something’s never change though; we are still
very involved with the gaming community of western Pennsylvania
(events like Sci-Fi in the Valley and the Pittsburgh Comicon) and we
still support great games (we just play a lot more of them now!). We
are still, of course, always open to new ideas; so if there is
something you’d like to see on the Blog or in the store let us
know! And those of you that are die hard 40K fans needn't worry,
we'll still have plenty of that (in fact I'm going to work on Bjorn
and a new venerable dreadnought as soon as I finish up here)!
You may be wondering why there is a
piece of artwork featuring King Snurre accompanying this new
endeavor. Fortunately that has a relatively simple explanation. Over
the last six years most of the images we have used were set in the
grim, war-torn future of the 41st millennium. Before we
ever experienced that dystopian vision though many of us grew up
exploring mysterious realms of fantasy, from there we branched out
into an assortment of hobby endeavors. We still remember those days
and the epic adventures that we undertook; there is something
evocative about images that capture that essence. The Fire Giant King
reclining on his throne signifies the breadth of the gaming topics
that we’ll explore together – some are holdovers from the days of
our youth, others are new and shiny, and some are a little bit from
column A and A little bit from column B.
I would like to close this post by
reiterating something that I mentioned earlier; we are interested in
hearing from you, what you like to see filling this space in the
future?
