July 2010
After a one month hiatus, Heroics is back. My apologies for not publishing an issue in June: I was away for nearly a month
training for a new job! Incidentally, this is also why I won't be attending WBC this year.
For anyone else not attending, please note: we will have our regularly scheduled meeting at the Oxford Valley Mall on
August 7th. Hope to see you there. And for those who are attending, best of luck! EPGS generally enjoys great results at
WBC; let's hope this year is no exception.
Game on!
