So this Saturday, March 30th is Tabletop Day!

What's that mean? Well, basically you can probably go to your FLGS and check out a bunch of gaming activities.

There's going to be some tester Hordes and Warmachine armies, Blood Bowl, Malifaux, and hopefully some of these games.

You can find plenty of information at the Windsor Gaming Resource on some of the FREE SWAG that's being given away.

And in the meantime, they're having a sale to clear out their product...

Essentially, the issues can be summed up as:

Another Old Stuff Day, March 2nd 2013



Another Old Stuff Day, which I'm a little late at posting..
