AdeptiCon 2017 Live Blog – Day One
You can join Dawn & Gianna across the next few days as they get stuck into the craziness that is AdeptiCon 2017! This event looks like it's going to be bigger than ever and packed with all manner of awesomeness.
Adepticon Interviews
If you're interested in how all of this came together then we've been following the show preparations in Adepticon Talks which you can watch here.
You can use these as a great way to catch up as you're watching the different videos arrive for the show.
Follow Along & Win A VIG Bag!
Make sure to follow throughout the weekend for interviews with game designers, a look at the different events being run and of course pictures of all of the amazing miniatures we run into.
If you comment on posts here on the Live Blog you could also be in with a chance of winning a VIG Bag from AdeptiCon which is packed (and we mean packed) with all manner of goodies from loads of different companies.
We can't wait and hope you enjoy!
Blogging At This Event:
Jaw Dropping Displays From GMM Studios
Brandon has been BUSY this year! He does incredible painting work and every year creates amazing, one of a kind display pieces for Adepticon. What really blows my mind though, is that knocks them out in a month! Wow!
Gaming Commences In Privateer Press' Iron Arena
There's plenty of Warmachine underway in the Privateer Press Room. There's both Iron Arena and standard tournament play going on right now, as well as gamers painting feverishly to have their armies up to par for their games later.
The Crystal Brush Case Is Starting To Fill Up
The masters of painting are starting to line up to drop off for the Crystal Brush Case, and wow! The talent represented in the enteries never ceases to amaze me.
The Board Game Library Is Fully Loaded With Play To Wins
The board game library has grown legs and is off running. The whole table is full of play to win titles, so you can have fun playing games and possibly taken them home with you! Of course Ticket To Ride is still a fan favorite and there's plenty to go around.
Dawn Found Her Elven Terrain From Fantasy Arc
Like a moth to the flame, I was drawn over to the Fantasy Arc stand to have a look at the gorgeous elven terrain I've been drooling over- and Yes, it's even more impressive in person. I especially love the WIP for the bridge. There's debate over the roof on the bridge, but I have to say, I love it as is.

One day I have to take the trip all the way from Sweden to walk the halls myself. Great day one, cheers.
Looking forward to seeing more coverage.
