    Re: What Can I do to get Involved

    Jodo Kast 3... am I making a huge mistake going to Otakon instead of Dragoncon??? I already had Otakon planned before I knew of it O_o. Where is Dragoncon? I want to make sure I attend next year (should have my Fett done by then )

    Re: What Can I do to get Involved

    I wish. Sadly Dragon Con isn't in the books for me this year. Trust me, I've been wanting to go for years now. Any other recommendations?

    -edit: Funny enough, I'm going to Otakon as well. As for Dragon Con, it's down in Atlanta.

    Well if your looking for custom mandalorian stuff... theres a whole section devoted to it a little lower in the forums! Good ideas and help there. What are you lost with it?

    Well I've got no clue where to start. I have the Templates and everything but with the cheek curves and such its very difficult to accomplish.

    Re: What Can I do to get Involved

    I'm looking to make a custom suit of Mando as well, just taking it in a much different route. Well, to be honest, I have a few ideas, but that's probably more appropriate for discussion with the Mandolorian Mercs. Though to my understanding, I need to have my armor prepared before I can join them.

    Re: What Can I do to get Involved

    Conventions are a great way to meet people. I met a ton of people and even roomed with some people here when I went to CIV. Unfortunately I never kept in contact with them, I really should have. Everyone here is great.

    Speaking of Dragon Con, how soon is that coming up?

    So aside from Dragon Con, are there any other events that I should keep an eye out for?

    There's is always someone from here at any major convention. Joining the 501st would also get you to meet more people in person, though not everyone here is in the 501st.

    Re: What Can I do to get Involved

    Your Question: What can I do to get involved?

    My answer: Sell highly illegal nuclear devices.

    Im kidding, dont do that.


    Here are other ways to get involved. Cons are a great Idea. Almost any big convention, you can expect some of us to be there. For example, the San Diego Comic Con a few weeks ago. You have the Spokane comic con, New York Comic Con, DragonCon, Wizard World (Although I dont know how mando armor holds up against lightning bolt.)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ekugPKqFw



    Or you could give us your address and a few of us can make it over there and sing you a song?

    Only took 3 responses before the answer surfaced. That is definitely one great way to meet a bunch of TDHers.

    You know that we chicks dig the armor. I don't think the singing would be necessary. And that lightning bolt video was priceless!

    You need armour to become an official member but anyone can join the forum to talk, discuss things, ask questions etc

    Re: What Can I do to get Involved

    GenCon is certainly big, but it's so expensive. I really couldn't get into having to pay for each event you want to participate in, even after paying your way in. But on that note, is there anything planned for GenCon, or is the big focus on Dragon Con?
