Action packed at a fraction of the run time! I mostly put this together to get the word out about a little fundraiser, and to have a chuckle about the stress we felt trying to register for Adepticon. Big thanks to the Adepticon Heresy team for finding solutions within a day of the sign up shenanigans. Now buy a shirt, please!

• Jetbikes are always on my mind – and apparently it's the same for some of you!
• Adepticon registration survival story, and a chance to raise some money to support David Kohman's family.
• Spotlight on the Chaplain, maybe quite literally the best-boy centurion? Perhaps too early to call. . .
