Another Meeting Down

The committee had another great meeting this evening. We discussed prize support, attendance, the progress of the Tide of War army, and a few other great surprises.

We are also happy to tell you that Secret Weapon Miniatures has joined in on our sponsorships. They are graciously donating the resin bases on which the prize army will be mounted. So a HUGE thank you to them. Please visit their site and look around. I am quite sure you will like what you see.

Privateer Weekend Events Announcement

Play like you have a pair…. a saying adopted by Privateer Press when Prime originally released. A saying that epitomizes the Privateer Weekend experience at Diecon every year. 2012 represents Privateer Weekend’s fifth year and it will be more brutal and more fun than ever. Players from all across America will descend on St. Louis on June 22nd-24th to show they truly have a pair. The competition is nothing short of spectacular, the modeling exquisite, and the

camaraderie

is better than all else. Privateer weekend consists of 3 days of grueling, spine crushing, cortex smashing fun that only those who truly have a pair can hope to survive.

 

You want the fun and competition and we are delivering in spades.

Work Has Begun!

After a long debate, we are very happy to announce that Privateer Weekend will be back at DieCon 2012 for our 5th year. We haven’t set our schedule quite yet, but we will be kicking it all into high gear after Warmachine Weekend this year, which happens November 4-6, 2011. We will be keeping you informed not just here, but on Facebook, Twitter, GameStLouis.com, and on the Privateer Press forums. We have big plans, we are looking for new sponsors, and don’t plan to slow down at all. Expect just as many great prizes, a solid line up of events, and loads of surprises as we work our way into a frenzy.

Ye be warned!
