On Convention Season
by [username=Bifford]Bifford[/username]
Seriously? August already? Sheash! It'll be that time of year soon! Anyway, with it being Jul/Aug/Sep it means it is Convention Season. GaryCon has just happened - even if the cost to get there and go wasn't prohibitive, the sheer crowd volume would be for me. There are plenty of threads and Geeklists to look at to see what people got up, but my favourite is always Bruce's: Brumcg's GenCon Report
At the start of September I have my second ever proper RPG con, which is once again Fighting Fantasy Fest, their 6th event. I am hping to have the next issue of the mag finished, proof print made and able to order lots of copies to sell....but I'm cutting it very close, so that may not happen.
What cons have you been to recently? How were they? Do you recommend them? And what ones are coming up soon
