Quotes (from this video)
- It's not about objectives, it's not about kill count, it's about survival and you know, highest off the ground wins.
- The folks from Biuer Games sent me this, you know, small two-player starter set called The Outpost at Mirror Bridge and I thought it was pretty cool.
- With a box like this, you kind of could. Everything you need's in here, even the ruler and the dice and everything, and you could fit everything back into this box if you wanted to.
- Like all good starters, it plays as a standalone game.

Quotes (from this video)
- The idea behind 3D printing is that I can go onto my minifactory and find a really weird specific interesting to me type of model that probably wouldn't sell well out in the real world if it was made in plastic
- We're not constantly line goes up up because not only do we have no shareholders we have to make happy we also don't have to do this this isn't our day job
- it's the more Choice um I don't really think it's actually about saving money
- the point of the game is to try and crawl to the highest spot so there's a lot of rules for pushing people off of things and falling off of things and stuff like that and climbing and things like that
- but they were a lot of fun to paint and they were very interesting and whatnot

Quotes (from this video)
- And these 1490 Doom two-foot circular boards were also busy most of the convention.
- They are producing models now, uh, but they're also and they're going to have a printed book eventually soon.
- It's like a Patreon thing and then it lets you get into a uh a Discord and you also get letters every month and there's like a sticker and a book and you put your sticker in for things you're doing, all that kind of stuff.
- But the real thing about Adepticon is just meeting other kind of like-minded people who are into wargaming like you are, or maybe slightly different than you are, and maybe they teach you something.

Quotes (from this video)
- any miniature war game can be miniatures agnostic if you believe in yourself.
- Nearly all Warhammer miniatures will work well with the games from OnePage Rules.
- If you don't want to try miniature agnostic games because you can't leave the models of Games Workshop behind, now you have a bunch of Warhammer models that will work in tons of miniature agnostic games.
