HEROICON

This weekend I attended a brand-new Con in Decatur, IL---HEROICON
Picture
Not bad for the first year of a Con. About 200 people, and 7 or 8 vendors. Lots of Magic, Pathfinder, various RPGs, and Board Games, but very few miniature games. I'll have to work on getting more of my miniature gamer friends to run something next year. I ran an ACW GASLIGHT game (AAR in a later post) and played in an X-Wing tournament.

One thing that was different about this Con was they had the best Gift Bag I have ever seen at a Con. Usually you get a die, some coupons, a couple cards to games you don't play, maybe a plastic miniature. Their bag had three games in it!!!

My bag had a copy of the old Steve Jackson microgame Ogre, a Cthulhu dice game (with extra die), and a game called realpolitik (seems to be some kind backstabbing game of politics) by Peacable Productions ("a game of lies, murder, and dirty tricks for 2 to 5 players").

    Mysterious Bill

    I've been gaming since the 1970's and even wrote some RPG adventures in the 80's for the Judges Guild. It seems that I can only get in miniatures is gaming at cons, but I do regularly play boardgames and RPGs.
