I have been a regular at Matrix. I am basically a PC war gamer. The last Board game I played was 23 years ago, Gettysburg ,if I remember correctly. Was always a problem finding someone to play against.
Lived south suburbs of Chicago. At 23 years old went to school in Europe. Never returned to Chicago but lived in several locations after graduation.
I am now a resident of Las Vegas (many years later).
I noticed references to Origins. In all the time its be going have you ever played with the idea of holding it in Las Vegas?
Hey Zap. Welcome to the funhouse.
As for Origins.... we don't get a say in where that happens, (it'll always be in Columbus?), we just get to setup a wee booth and try to get people to play with us. :D
Hi Barthheart,
I was unsure what this sights relationship was to Origins. Tell me then, yours is a booth for exactly what? In other words what is your goal in being there.
Welcome!

We don't run Origins. We just run one of the wargaming programs there. GAMA runs Origins, and they've committed to keeping it in Columbus for the foreseeable future as it's within 1-day drive of like 65% of the US population.
GAMA does run the GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas every year. Not exactly the same thing, but still might be fun for you check out some time. It's usually in the Spring. You can find info at gama.org
Welcome to Grogheads, zap! O0
Welcome, zap! Sounds like an interesting life you've led.
Welcome Zap. I can't believe you are the first one to think of that forum name... :))
Hello Zap. Glad to have you with us. Zap was actually what all the girls used to call me when I was young. Don't know why but they usually giggled when they said it. ^-^
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I just noticed that about the thread name :2funny: Its not my fault I'll blame the influence of Las Vegas on my subconscious

They must of been thinking something nice about you as they giggled.
Actually, my username is taken from the first 3 letters of my last name. I'm 2nd generation polish. You can imagine the last name might be a little hard to pronounce. So for the sake of ease all friends nicknamed my brothers and myself zap starting back in grade school.
Zap it is then.
Welcome to our wretched hive of scum & villainy, zap! :)
