'''The GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific [[VINESAUCE]]-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY.  Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with [[JOEL]]).

The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene.  These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't!  They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.
 
In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for [[GRAND DAD Fantasy]], [[KING FOR ANOTHER DAY]], [[GRANDmachine]], [[HE THICC]], and [[MEME Wars]], as of 2019.
 
== HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES == Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition.  Note that The GRAND DAD Fugitives seem to have been most active between 2007 and 2013.

A French miniature and RPG company established in 1997, Rackham specialised in producing high quality metal models for their medieval fantasy wargame Confrontation and its spin offs Cadwallon and Hybrid. In 2006 Rackham also released the sci-fi skirmish wargame AT-43. This marked a turning point for Rackham, as unlike Confrontation, all of the miniatures for AT-43 were pre-assembled and pre-painted plastic models. The fifth and final edition of Confrontation was released shortly after in a similar format.

The move to plastic was not successful, however, and in October 2010 Rackham was liquidated. Cool Mini Or Not now produce resin versions of some of the old Confrontation models, including some that were designed but never actually released. In 2013 they also Kickstarted a card and miniature game set in Confrontation’s world called Guilds of Cadwallon.
