SO! I’m home from Templecon, and it was quite the thing. Many of you were following the Lost Hemisphere crew’s adventures on Facebook and Twitter, and we thank you for that, but it’s time to start dumping photos all over the place for those who weren’t following us (the fools!). Accordingly, let’s rock this casbah…
The whole thing started innocently enough, with a few pins on a backpack…
Behold my pins, ye mighty, and despair…
Every year at Templecon we, the Losties, hit up the gamer community for contributions to charity. This year we broke our usual format and also asked for contributions to the prize table, and dang if it wasn’t a roaring success, raising over $4245 for the Dana Farber Institute, benefiting colon cancer research. This is a cause near and dear to a number of us, so it was both humbling and awesome that the fundraiser was such as success. This year we tag-teamed with the New England Privateers to make it all happen, so tip o’ the ole’ hat to them too.
Thanks to Lost pal Kyle “RedPhantasm” Hagan, we have pics of the winners! If you’re a winner and your pic came out flattering, you own him a beer. If not, sock him one in the arm. 😛 Note that a couple of people did scarper before we could get pics with them, and a couple of the prizes were late additions and so unfortunately I don’t have a card identifying the painter/donor and/or winner.

Recently, Privateer Press forum participant RJC243 posted this thread asking for input regarding which company to invest in when it comes to finding a miniatures transport solution for his army mans. The discussion has been quite interesting, with pros and cons of multiple manufacturers being discussed, but one thing that came up was that KR Multicase’s website doesn’t show miniatures actually in the foam, to give a visual of how it can all come together.
I thought I’d take the opportunity to show how I myself like to make use of the blue spongey stuff that KR sells with their card boxes of niftiness.
The Red Couch returns for this little photo set. Behold, one closed KR Multicase card case. Two of these fill a Kaiser2 bag, which is approximately the same size as the standard Warmachine or Hordes bag offered by Battlefoam.
