[Goris]

I really hate to beg, but really, I'm begging...send me to duelcon...

[Kamahin]

When is Duelcon?

[Goris]

September 28th - 30th in Arizona.

Just waiting till Fri so i get paid and can donate

I may be able to hook you up with something for Kingdom Con next march once we get things finalized.

[Goris]

Awesome man! I don't think I can express how awesome this is for me to have an opportunity to travel and go to this con. It just shows how truly sweet the Trollbloods community is...

[Kamahin]

Yeah, I was mainly looking at the window of opportunity to help. I'm not sure yet if I can, but I will look into it more.

[Goris]

I would love to go, it's all about travel arrangements for us since that's where all the cost is. Most of the time getting a comped badge or something from the organizer is easy.

[PG_thegreatblah]

I know Goris is really excited to go, but really we want to get one of our guys on the front line so information and goodies come in quicker. It also helps us with prize support and making the scrum better and more interactive for all y'all. If we can reward the wider community for helping us to get one of The Scrummers to events AND get you something in return on the front end and the back end then it is a win/win.

Really though, I want someone to help me make Goris say and do whatever we want him to for a whole podcast.

Pete I know us guys from UT would like Kingdom Con and it's close with cheap flights from SLC to Vegas. Lets talk.

[PG_petegrrrr]

I have some interesting plans as well. Just gotta run them by some people first.

[Gdead909]

so do i just hit the donate button on the scrum page?

[DrFish]

Next paycheck I get will probably see a $75 donation from me. I want me an epically epic epic Grim of epicness!

[Goris]

Well man we really appreciate it. And we are good for every word, so please once you donate, talk to blah and we can begin making arrangements for your donation level!

[Gdead909]

Blam 35 bucks closer to troll coverage!

Confirmation number: 45H34352JA912451D.

[Goris]

AWESOME! Thanks man...

[DogFog]

The "donate for dice" link on the page is broken for me, FYI...

[PG_thegreatblah]

I'll fix that today.

Also thanks to everyone who has donated so far we will be sending out dice and patches in approximately one month. Any donations received after that point will have the items sent out the day the donation comes in.

[omerplata]

Currently don't have the money to donate, although I would like to in the future. I have a question...

Say I was able to make the $75 donation, and I would like to get my rok painted. I have a metal mauler kit and a rok upgrade I have been meaning to convert for a while but have not gotten around to. Would I be able to get a simple conversion done for said donation as well? Just a bit curious I plan on donating something in the future if I ever get my next check.

If you donate at that level I'd be happy to do the conversion for you and then zip it up to Sid for painting.

[PG_joedj]

Donated for dice!

[PG_thegreatblah]

Thanks Joe, I hadn't sent you a confirmation email yet, youll get one tomorrow.

[omerplata]

Well then deal. Once I have the money a donation will be made!

[PG_thegreatblah]

We're 26% of the way to our goal folks. Thank you very much for all the help. Patches and dice will be ready in approximately two weeks and then I will begin mailing out stuff.

For those of you that contributed at podcast/painting level I will be contacting you shortly to work out the details. If you become impatient feel free to drop me a line at thegreatblah@trollbloodscrum.com

[Spume]

What is the goal?

[Goris]

I think our overall goal is $950 to get both Sid and I to the con. However if we can't meet that the goal is to get me there.

[Spume]

If you showed a $ amount raised it might help in the efforts, as with a % you might not know your $15 counts as much as it does.

[Gdead909]

well if the goal is 950 and we are 26% that is 247 guys. Good job lets keep it coming

[PG_thegreatblah]

This is right on, though I am currently trying to get an airline discount. If this is the case then we need substantially less. I am shenanighanizing as much as I can to make it more affordable.

Each $35 dollar donation is worth approximately 3-4% of our current goal, hopefully I can lower the amount needed to make each donation count for more.

[Spume]

Though I don't always agree with your opinions, I would be foolish to not recognize what you guys do for the community. I'll donate what I can.

[PG_thegreatblah]

Well, make us work for it man. We will ninja shop for you AND any swag type stuff goes right back into the community. Whatever you guys want Goris to do, he's your biotch.

[Gdead909]

Trying to think if there is a pain in the butt model I want painted so when I donate more I have something for you guys to do lol

[Spume]

If it was unit I would make you assemble and paint my nyss

[Gdead909]

Oooo that's a good one! I was thinking war wagon or maybe rok lol

[zor]

Stoked to hear you are planning to be there Goris! I'll see you there man. (Hopefully).

If I get a chance to help the cause, I will.

[PG_thegreatblah]

If it was unit I would make you assemble and paint my nyss

I assembled a unit of Nyss once and will never again assemble them EVER.

[Kamahin]

I was debating asking for my Roxtreme painted if I went for the $75, but it looks like other things might be stealing the money. So I may have to donate less than originally intended.

This whole 'life' thing costs more than I was originally lead on to believe.

[PG_frazerpenman]

Are the prices and offers the same for us across the pond I'd like me some dice?

On a side note Nyss Hunters not that bad to assemble Steelhead Halberdiers however are proving problematic

[PG_thegreatblah]

Yes for those of you across the pond I am still keeping the prices the same.

That said, if you do donate at the paint a model level it is probably a better idea to work out us purchasing the model here rather than you sending us what you want painted.

[Gdead909]

If I want a war wagon painted does it require a larger donation? It is a big piece
