News about MACE from my end
2008 marks the first time we have done more than one mini-mace a year. mini-mace 2008 II was held in the same place as the last one, but this time with no big event like an L5R tourney or Wizkids events. Out of both of those we usually get 20 or so. This time, we…
mini-mace 2008 IISeptember 20, 2008Golden CorralHanes Mall, Winston Salem, NC Jeff and I thought it would be good to get a feel for the current industry and fan base after the release of D&D 4e. It is sort of a test of the market for MACE. mini-mace 2008 II was supposed to be that test….
Chris Fisher, a buddy of mine, let me borrow the book-on-tape for World War Z by Max Brooks. It’s several accountings of the Zombie War set in the near future. So far it is very cool. I am only on disc 2. I had an idea though MACE. A “game series” if it can be…
I am still recovering from it, but man, what a weekend! This exhaustion and emotional drain has a new name… I’ve been officially MACEd. Part of it was that I experimented with Diet Pepsi Max to keep me energized and I am still coming down from that but the con itself was so amazing awesome…

I thought it was a good idea for MACE, so we set the wheels in motion to plan the tournament. This is the first event of the…
Well, what can I say? What a fantastic year! This year, MACE was bigger than ever with more evets, more things to do and more variety. The gaming industry may be in trouble, you could not tell it if you were at MACE. Of course, all the usual thanks and shout-outs – my lovely wife…
Well, it’s been a few weeks and I’ve had time to really think back to MACE. This year was unbelievable. This had to be one of the (if not THE) best MACE Conventions ever. This year was the hardest I’ve worked on a MACE. Not only did I have to do the non-affiliated gaming thing,…
mini-mace turned out to be better than expected, but not better than hoped. We are seriously thinking of doing it again.
As much as I would like to scream and yell about how good it was, my personal experience was a disappointment. But really that has nothing to do with the Con. The CON went well. In fact, there were VERY few complaints. And many people complimented on the Con as well as the hotel. It…
