So I'm looking at the new WarhammerUSA site at http://www.warhammerusa.com/, and it's pretty darn cool. I really applaud the effort to create a WFB ranking for the United States, with the acknowledgement that this is an exceptionally difficult task. I'm also very much enjoying the articles they have up. One thing that makes me sad is the lack of contributing Independent GT's in the Southeast United States. I plan on attending Brawler Bash in Raleigh, NC this year, and hopefully Battle on Beale in Memphis, Tennessee as well. Outside of that, I'd be looking at some serious travel to attend any other GT's. Sadly, I'm not rich, single, and I don't have large amounts of free time, so I don't think there's much hope for me.
Having more events in this area would be fantastic. I know that some folks down in Charlotte, NC are looking to possibly put on an event, and if Grail Quest continues to do well and grow this year, I'm thinking of making it a two day event next year. Events have to be two days and have 40+ people to submit to WarhammerUSA.
There's also the great work that Dallas (Thunderheart) is doing at http://www.thebigbluewaaagh.com/. Getting together a more regional North Carolina Master's ranking, with smaller events able to submit results, makes for a fun local community that can grow and develop.
2010 has a lot of opportunities for players in the area, and if we continue to get bigger and better like in 2009, the sky is the limit.
