Looking forward to attending this event now for the third time. I'm also glad of the dates that were chosen, as with my job I get a 3-day weekend every six weeks (I'm a mailman, so our day off switches every week) and it happens to fall on this weekend. Now if I can get someone to cover our store, my wife and I could actually make it to something other than the Sunday events.

Here's hoping that this year's AO is either Shub or a new AO. Or both.

My bet is Ithaqua. But still. Any new / revised AO for Arkham is absolutely very welcome :-)

 Man I wish I could go to this. However it's a bit of a drive from Baltimore. How about you open a store here and start having Arkham Nights here! 

I wonder if there is going to be anything "extra" this year announced in the coming days? I am actually pretty surprised Elder Signs has not had an expansion. The game seems pretty ripe for it as it would be easy to add different die representing corrupting influence, large spells ect and cards representing different challenges.

Went in 2010, missed it in 2011, happy to be coming back in 2012.

That's an interesting point. Something for ES coming is really welcomed. IIRC, some time ago there were rumors of Launius designing two expansions for the game. Maybe it's the right time to announce them? And hopefully, they will add some difficulty to the game…

I enjoy the expansion for ES:Omens. I'd gladly accept and expansion like that for the boardgame.

 Fingers crossed for me and a group of three others getting to join in on the fun for the first time. We're coming in from Illinois so it's going to cost a bit!

 My wife and I will be driving in from Michigan again.  We love these events!  I'm hoping for a chance to play the Call of Cthulhu RPG again with one of the FFG employees.  That was a great time in 2010.

Ithaqua actually makes more sense, and we really could use a stronger version after all the expansions. I'm just a sucker for Shub, and like games taht make it really, really hard for the investigators.

::laughter:: I like Shub as well :-) But I think Shub and Yog will be the last to be revised from the original 12 AOs (they are really strong when compared to some others). It could also be good to have a revised version of Nyarly or Yig

saidly it is too far away : (((

My wife and I drove up from Indiana the past two years, but sadly won't be able to make it this year.  She actually won the big contest drawings from both years, so now someone else will get a chance!  

Wish they had something like this in England. Have a great time to all who go!

 is there any possible way i can get these AO's or on ebay or something? I would love to add something new to my AH games but alas I am unable to make to these events.

 I love this Arkham Nights very much.
