SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e Another one of the canned adventures by Chaosium for the summer convention season, Necropolis is a short introductions adventure with a simple premise and straightforward purpose. It is meant to help the players get used to the new aspect of 7th edition Call of Cthulhu. Again, it is nice to have…
SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e Chaosium released a few free adventures for the summer con season and I decided to run some of those. Key word is that these are free. You get what you pay for. Although they are complete adventures thankfully all with pregenerated characters, they are … let’s just say… a little…
That Con is over once again and I have to say it was a very satisfying weekend. It was satisfying in many ways. Gaming did well, despite having less space. I got to spend time with old friends and new. I got time to spend with my kids and my wife. I gamed a little…
About this time 5 to 10 years ago, I was excited and crazy busy with convention stuff. I did not even have time for real work, I am ashamed to say. My career took a back seat to my hobbies. I was charged up, dealing with the stress of other people’s mistakes and lack of effort, while at the same time making my own mistakes. Why? All for the hope that one convention would have a great weekend and a majority of people would walk away with a fulfilling weekend. That mattered to me so much!
This coming June will mark my second return to That Con – ConCarolinas. It took a lot for me to return last year. I did not display a complete air of forgiveness and kindness that I should have the last time. The sore left by my experience now 5 years ago is still raw. Is…
I have been involved with this niche of a community for almost 20 years. I have organized things from both ends of the spectrum. I have seen events numbering in the dozens and I have seen events numbering in the thousands. The largest event overall that I have been involved with and helped organize had…
I recently posted a poll on FB in hopes to find out reasons for gamers not attending. Both our ConCarolinas and ConGregate efforts were less than stellar. Although ConCarolinas is considered a rebuilding year, ConGregate was a third try and gaming has gotten stagnant. ConGregate is starting to frustrate me because High Point was once…
It was not easy. I have posted about the decision to return but the actual act was even harder. I had to deal with a lot of people I still have sour feelings towards. I had to watch as people enjoyed a con that I put my heart and soul into for 11 years, with nothing…
Something I through together that was ruled too “politically incorrect” to post anywhere else… A few comments from others when we took over… Gaming has never felt like an event since [the bugs] has been running things. Not to jab them, don’t really know any of them. But in years past, ConCarolinas felt like the game…
JustUs Productions was approached by ConCarolinas (aka That Con) to run their gaming once again. Of course, because I am a big part of the service that JustUs Productions provides, I have had to do some serious soul searching. This was not an easy decision. A lot of emotions are still associated with that part…
