Sci-fi & Gaming Cons
I have been involved with convention fandom since 1989. That’s nearly 30 years of going to conventions as well as running them. The biggest I ever attended was DragonCon and I continued my patronage of that convention until I started having multiple kids and focusing on that part of my life. Through those years, I…
Since 2012, I have often pictures That Con coming back to me and asking me to help dig it out of the hole that they dug themselves into. I imagined the satisfaction I would feel in knowing that in the end I was right. I pictured the smug smile I had when I told them…
Things went really well at ConCarolinas 2018 Gaming – partially because I really worked hard on my attitude and partially because people are starting to understand the system. There are a few areas I need to improve on still but for the most part, it works well. Communication to the players continues to be my…
At one time, I was proud to be at the center of THAT convention. I was proud that I built it from 300 attendees to 1300. I was proud to have hosted the largest attended Deep South Con (2010) since it’s inception. I was pretty proud of my accomplishments until it all came crashing down…
SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e There is some really good aspects to this adventure but some really difficult parts of it. First off, it does provide a lot of NPCs to keep up with. It’s helps to have a way to represent them on the table so people connect with them in some way. Have…
Date: June 2, 2018 Ran Star Trek Adventures RPG by Modiphius at ConCarolinas. This session went incredibly. I had a lot of fun. The alien device at the end really played into it heavily. The players really got into the story telling side of things. In the end, we had a the science officer and…
DATE: June 2, 2018 The playtest of this game went a little better than the actual con game but it was still reasonably fun. The session went about the same as the playtest with the end result being guided by the Cliffhanger cards. Savage Worlds Flash Gordon is such a good version of Savage Worlds.
The team was formed from a rag-tag group of freemen from all over Mongo. Commissioned directly Princess Admira of Tropica, this group was hurriedly formed to perform on secret missions for her royal highness in her effort to support the Freemen rebellion. The M.A.C.E team is made up of people the princess knew, friends of…
I have said it before. This is a great game! I played with 4 players as a playtest as a local game store and then 5 players are MACE West 2018. Both with expansion races (Cardassians and Ferengi) and the Borg expansion. The Borg expansion is incredible. It changes the game to a certain degree…
The 8th annual MACE West has come and gone. I keep telling people that they need to stop having so much fun at these things because we have to quit at some point. I am not doing this until I am 60 (I turn 50 next year). MACE West turned 8 this year which means…
