The Nerds of War

Mike and Don discuss recent hate that Games Workshop has been getting from completely different sources. Is it valid? Why does one company get so much shade thrown at it?

After a few months off due to excruciating sciatica, the rigors of a (Don thinks mythical) doctoral program for Mike, and just plain laziness, we are back with a brief look back at Adepticon 2025 and how we think things went, and a preview of some of the events that are being planned for Adepticon 2026. It appears that a group of our friends from UK are going to be making the trip over for the convention, something we’re extremely excited about and are making plans to give them an unforgettable experience. Or at least an experience which will allow us to laugh at them long after they’ve gone home.
