Ironclad at PAX

Hi everyone!

If you want to meet some of the people behind Sins we'll be hanging out at the Stardock booth to talk about Sins and what's in store for the future :)

We also have some very limited Sins goodies, so first come, first serve!

See you there!
Blair

Well, you said Blair got shot by a storm trooper. And there's a picture of a Storm Trooper aiming a gun, so it's a logical assumption the guy in black is Blair. In which case, the picture with the foot in front of the camera would make you trying to get up (or get down?) on those pillows. You don't have a beard like he does :P

Did I get it?

alright then, to work. assuming craigs response from before about the stormtrooper shooting blair after a lost game, we can assume that the black jacket wearing person in the 7th foto being shot by a stormtrooper is blair. other than him, I can find no other person wearing an IC shirt who is not on the same foto as blair. which obviously raises more questions:

 

who are the other two ICs in pic one?

who is the girl on pic 4?

who are the stardock shirt wearing folks?

why? (always need that question)

 

I think I should go sober up now.

who is the girl on pic 4?

 

Morgan Webb. DUH! (I'd rather meet Adam. He's actually funny)

 

EDIT: And now you are in the same picture together! Sorry to who ever's face I covered up :'(

 

So according to Anny Blair has some stuble (cool stuble) and Craig has an evil goatee thing (a cool evil goatee thing)

 

EDIT2: Was it Blair or Craig who was the (beta) Marza? Either way neither of them look like the person I pictured voicing it lol  :grin:

It is I.  Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.  I was unaware that Ironclad/Stardock was going to be at PAX (I didn't know *I* was going until Friday!  Myself and the stormtroopers were guests of Wizards of the Coast)

 

It was a Blast. I *HAD* to tell them how much I loved Sins (several times), I signed the gamers bill of rights, and even got to use a terror star on a game of Galactic Civ!

And oh.. Yes, I *AM* really that tall.

Hey Craig.

I'm a PA forumer and was at PAX this weekend. My coworkers play Sins a good bit but I never did get around to picking it up, despite them talking about playing it all the time. I saw it at the convention and thought "damn, $30, now's the time I guess!"

I picked up a copy on my credit card and tossed it in my swag bag. Later that day while getting lunch, I wasn't paying attention and someone swiped it, all my swag and the brand new game I just purchased. I was feeling pretty stupid at myself for letting that happen.

When my friends and I walked by the Stardock booth later that day, I pointed out "hey, that's the game I bought that got stolen." I decided to check with the people sitting there if there was anything I could or should do, and when the guy asked if I bought it via credit I thought maybe there was. Turns out there wasn't much I could do, but regardless one of the woman said to just give me a new copy! I was a little shocked that they did that, since it was only my word, but like I told them, they made my day. I could stop thinking about letting my shit get stolen and enjoy the rest of PAX.

I put the game in my friends backpack, for "safe-keeping" this time. Turns out it wasn't really all that safe, since someone came up behind him while he was waiting in line himself after all this to buy Galactic Civs 2 and just lifted the fresh box from his backpack!

"Hey, you bought my game," he proceeds to state, and signs the box before returning it to the backpack. So now I have a coincidentally Craig Fraser signed copy to replace my stolen one.

Score one for karma, and thanks Craig and team for what you did.

Blair is to Craig as Clark is to Superman???

(or maybe Craig is to Blair as Clark...???)

Craig is the one who didn't set the record for the bean bag sliding olympics :P (And guess who did???)

Hehe...you are very welcome Infindel. |-)  I know how you feel every time someone steals my game. I am glad we were able to help you out.

Yes, for the record Blair did take my title by a few feet, but I am fine with it, since I AM the bean bag olympics founder ;P

I'll just take that as confirmation that I was right :grin:

So, you guys are going to the next PAX, right? I'll have to get something signed then since I missed this round ;)

You were right Annatar - clever deduction ;)

You practically gave it away though :grin:

re-awakening a dead topic, but the empire (with the force) and the advent (with the unity) joining sides (referring to picture with Darth)?  Scary.  Telekinetic ownage, here I come.

 

Edit: Sorry about the massive Avatar.  just put itt up.  Gonna fix it now.
