Forge the narrative.

Hey everybody, welcome to a very special segment of Forged and Narrative.

My name is Paul Murphy, your host.

I'm joined today by Reese Robbins.

Hey, hey, what's up, dude?

Yo, man, how you doing?

Good. Good. Always good to talk to you, Paul. And this time, we're not shirtless with a bottle of bourbon deep, which is always a plus or maybe a negative, depending on how you look at it. We can change that right now. Like, we can, like, I know it's like it's, it's one PM here. It's not 1 p.m. there.

It's 10 a.m.

But you know what?

Sometimes you got to make exceptions.

You break the rules.

I want to talk to you a lot about LVO coming up and all the things you've been doing with the hobby in 40K specifically. Yeah, thank you so much, man. It's a pleasure to talk about it. And as you know, with your association with Warzone ATL, which sounds like it was an awesome event, you guys hit triple digit numbers, if I'm correct, which is... I listen to your show, man. Try to get a little cute there with talking about our restrictions or lack thereof. Yeah, yeah. And just to kind of clear the air a little bit, like, we are nothing but supportive of your event. We love what you guys are doing. And we, Frankie and I plan on coming. We just couldn't this year because it's just too crazy. We're about to move our store. Man, we sold out in eight hours. That's insane. Good for you guys, man. That is freaking awesome. That's awesome. That's like approaching Adepticon at the peak of their popularity for their 40K championships. Like you guys are approaching that level, which is incredible. So you guys should be

really proud of yourselves. Thank you. Partnered up with a great group of guys here in Atlanta.

They call themselves the general staff and they run the 40K tournament series here where every,

I want to say six to eight tournaments over the course of 60, eight weeks between tournaments, you can compete for the best of that series.

And so, you know, again, inspire some participation.

Those are a good group of guys.

We're accomplished 40K players.

And we translated that on the larger scale towards Atlanta to deliver what I call a premium event.

You know, we're bringing, you know, cater lunch for people both days. It's all included in the ticket. And, you know, it's just kind of a real feel-good experience. And I know you were, you were being funny. I wasn't really giving you a hard time. Yeah. I know you're a big fan of the town are. Oh, yeah. I know. I hate that thing. but that's why.

And that was really what I was trying to talk about in our show and I know you're a big fan of the town are. Oh, yeah, no, I hate that thing. But that's why.

And that was really what I was trying to talk about in our show. And if it was perceived as being negative towards the event, I sincerely apologize. I don't think it was. That wasn't the goal. But like I said on the R show, too, is that some people really want to play that way and we say, yeah, go for it. my personal opinions as a gamer is separate from my opinion as a T.O.
