Ok guys Wizos is killing the game. We knew that was coming.

So here is how you can help your community and keep this thing going. SWMGamers has looking into doing what the Decipher community did with the players committee.

So moving forward here is the plan we have made on Gamers and hope others will join and help.

Gamers is getting people to work together as a committee.

We have some folks lined up and lord knows they may need some help.

We are going to have people looking at designing virtual sets going forward. Gamers will post these downloadble stats and give folks an idea of corresponding mini that would work. If some customizers want to give instructions on how to make a cool custom of the character then awesome.

We will work hard going forward.

I have spoken to some of our maps guys and they will produce maps for the community going forward also.

Moses and I will continue to insure that Floor Rules and OP issues are handled to keep the game going. Even if that means forming our own sanctioning body for the game (we assume this will be coming soon). We will be looking into making a downloadable event reporting software.

I ask the community to be patient and be helpful now more than ever. If you have something to add dont sit around and think about offer the help. If you can write and event reporting program because you have that skill. Then step up and help us now the community needs it.

I fully expect these boards to recieve less and less attention because while the game was alive they kind of let us know where we stand. So if you have not been to gamers get over there and help us.

As it stand now SWMGamers and Miniature Market will be running all the events at Gencon this year. There will be no drop off in prize support or in number of events.

There will be Regionals this year also. Gamers is already coordinating that and we have expanded the venues. So please everyone keep your chins up.

Just to point out...when Dean says "these boards" he was talking about the WOTC boards. The post above is a copy/paste from what he put on WOTC.

Didn't want anybody to think he was saying Bloomilk would get less attention, as I'm pretty sure the opposite will happen. :P

So is this a project that's going to be focused over at that site or is it a project that'll be coordinated over all the fan sites for the game?

I assume it will be focused through the SWMGamers site. I'm sure it will be announced and such at other sites as well, but we're planning for SWMGamers to be the focal point.

If you're not a member there, that's probably OK, and as it's looking right now, the only person who would probably HAVE to be a member at Gamers would maybe be the T.O. for your region. But we'll see how things shake out.

Honestly though, it's always good to be involved at Gamers as well as Bloomilk. There's lots of good stuff that goes on over there all the time. :)

Dont take any offense by this but there is not going to be an easy way to coordinate this over three different sites. It just isnt going to be feesable. I own Gamers so that is where it will happen. I dont want anyone left out but that is where I can control the forums and who can see what.

Gamers is now doing the Regionals and Gencon this year. So I need things centralized for ease of use. I honestly have just taken on a 2nd full time job for myself and my pay will be the same as yours....nothing.

So for ease of use it will be located at gamers. Everyone is welcome there. Things will be posted here for people to follow. But most of the work will be there.

This is the time for folks to drop their petty differences and keep the community going forward for this game we love. If you care enough to post then you love this game. So lets work together and move forward.

So I should head over there, then, if I want to potentially get in on helping with the design process?

This is sad news for sure, but it is also good news to know that there are people in the community that will be doing there best to keep this game going. It really is not hard to sign up at gamers to get some news. It really is open and friendly there.

I think we need to be patient and accomodating for Dean. I believe he has the best interest of the game and the community in mind, and if we all work together, we can keep this game going. I know that he and Darth_Jim are working to have a regional tourny at our store in MD, so believe him when he says that GenCon and the regionals are a go for this year.

Thanks to Dean and all who will be working hard to keep the game alive!!!

Well, there is alot of work that needs to be done from now until the release of MoTF.
I am willing to help in any capacity, because even with the "Big Red Button" having been pushed on the game, we can keep this afloat.
I will be darned if it goes quietly in the night.

Yeah, if there's one bright side to this, it's going to be a lot easier to get those pieces I've wanted and build up my armies.

We can definitely depend on people selling their minis, which will not hurt the pockets of people who are looking to buy those minis they always wanted to get, but were afraid to spend the money on.

I think Lower at first, then after the dust settles, certain pieces will increase in value.

Probably lower in the near future, but the price will go up in the distant future IMO.


I really hope that a sactioning body outside of Wizo means that un-official maps like Jedi_Cartographer's maps will become 'legal'.

I hope so too, because I have quiye a few of those maps.
With no more coming out, it would only make sense that cartographers maps become "legal".

Dean - have you lined up permission from Lucasarts to create virtual sets? If so that is tremendous and excellent news. If not, you ought to talk with the coordinators of the Star Wars and Star Trek ccgs. Both of them have official sanction to create new stuff, but with limitations. Without that permission LA will just shut us down.

Is there a reason that the event reporting software has to be downloadable, rather than web-based?
