Can you talk more about the resource day. Sounds real interesting.

Also about those Mage Knights. LOL. My son won some at the raffle last year
(conference in SC) and had such a fascination with them although the game was
hard and we never quite learned it. He saw something similar at a gaming
store, Warhammer 40,000. He was so excited about it we bought the starter
set. That led to lots of reading as the game has a HUGE book or rules and
scenarios. He and I have spent hours putting together those tiny players and
painting them. We have both learned the game and spent time creating the
game board etc. He has even found the web site and explored what pieces he
can buy with the money he has and we talked about maybe us helping buy some
pieces. Talked about terrain features and made some obstacles ourselves with
paper mache etc. So much from such a little game and best of all I spend
time with my son doing something he is passionate about, even if it isn't top
on my list it is on his. And that is priceless. (man that sounded like a
commercial...LOL)
