This fifth day, which is actually the first day, was a day for the gamers, for those who always come the day early just to socialize, game, and get their weekend set up. Practically speaking today was awesome, great job by the organizers. Assuming most attendees are like us, all badge and ticket collection was conducted at our convenience AND any headaches could be sorted out in a leisurely and expedient fashion without the usual crush of a Thursday Day One.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After collecting our badges, event tickets and books, and our loot, we began our investigation of the gaming and the convention center. Again, today\u2019s schedule consisted of games \u2013 collectible card games, tabletop, miniatures, the electronic in the form of the <a title=\"Virtual World on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VirtualWorldLLC\" target=\"_blank\">Battletech Pods<\/a>, and role playing games filled the slate. The major halls and sights (such as the Exhibit Hall, the Art College and Art Show, Seminars, and the like) will open tomorrow, Thursday (as tradition would have it). We had the opportunity to walk through the Board Games Hall and check out the ghost town as it was being set up for its impending chaos over the next four days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Click to visit and follow FidgetTBC (Karina) on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FidgetTBC\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9338\" alt=\"Origins 2014 Prepare for Chaos\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Prepare-for-Chaos.jpg\" width=\"639\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Prepare-for-Chaos.jpg 639w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Prepare-for-Chaos-320x85.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Prepare-for-Chaos-400x106.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit and follow FidgetTBC (Karina) on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FidgetTBC\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9341\" alt=\"Origins 2014 Dark Angel Standing Watch\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Dark-Angel-Standing-Watch-400x318.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Dark-Angel-Standing-Watch-400x318.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Dark-Angel-Standing-Watch-301x240.jpg 301w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Origins-2014-Dark-Angel-Standing-Watch.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>From the Board Games Hall we meandered into the adjoining Miniatures Hall, whose entrance was being guarded by a Dark Angel from the <a title=\"Games Workshop US Homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.games-workshop.com\/en-US\/Home?_requestid=3851012\" target=\"_blank\">Warhammer 40K<\/a> universe. <a title=\"Games Workshop US Homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.games-workshop.com\/en-US\/Home?_requestid=3851012\" target=\"_blank\">Games Workshop<\/a> and Warhammer 40K took up almost one quarter of this hall with their products \u2013 from a Space Hulk table to tables set up for <a title=\"Cool Mini Or Not Homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coolminiornot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cool Mini Or Not<\/a>\u2019s new game Rivets.
