Convention Report – Climbing the (Bigger) Game Summit 2013
Climbing the (Bigger) Game Summit 2013
By The Warden
Could it already be a year since the last Game Summit? Why yes, yes it can. Did I go? Yes, yes I did. Was it the same as last year? No, no it was not. (You can refresh your memory by checking out last year’s review of Game Summit here.)
Since it’s initial festivities in the Fall of 2008, the Game Summit tabletop gaming convention held...
A Brit’s First Experience at Gen Con
Martin Tideswell, a 40-year-old newspaper journalist from England, was making his first trip to the States when he attended Gen Con Indy…
The sky above Indianapolis was a striking blue when I began my journey home and as my plane reached the wispy, candy floss clouds I began to reflect on my first Gen Con and, indeed, my first trip to the States.
As I arrived at immigration a stern-looking fellow...

Roleplayers Chronicle is Heading to Gen Con
As you read this (unless you read this after 7:00 PM EST), I am on my way to Gen Con. It’s a lengthy drive, but definitely worth it. I’ll be doing lots of wandering through the Vendor Hall, attending seminars, gathering pictures, and doing interviews. As with last year, that means there will be a break in our regular news during the course of these next 5 days (Wednesday – Sunday).

Tales from the Gazebo – KantCon: Consult your Happiness Officer
KantCon: Consult your Happiness Officer
By Cape Rust
Sticking to my now recently established Con pattern, I started sniffing around to find an open seat in the 1400 to 1800 gaming slot. I saw that there was a Paranoia game with a few open seats during that time. Paranoia, I haven’t played Paranoia in years (actually it is closer to decades, but who’s counting). Paranoia is one of those games...

KantCon: Where I Become a Sentinel of the Multiverse

After that amazing Ingenium game, I hung around KantCon for a while longer before I had to leave to attend my regular game. I would have loved to stay and try to sit in on a game, but KantCon is only once a year and my regular gaming group is there all the time. They would have been fine without me, but they are a really great group...

After our Characters had been introduced it was time to start our adventure. It turns out that we had all been captured, knocked out and awoke in a cell. The cell didn’t have bars, it had walls and a door with a viewing slat and a small opening at the bottom to slide food in and out. We quickly came up with at least 5 different plans to...

After spending the morning watching other people game, window shopping with the vendors and conversing with some of my new friends, it came time for the 2 – 6 P.M.

KantCon: the Morning After or Day 2
By Cape Rust
The sensory overload that KantCon day 1 created, caused a severe case of verbal diarrhea (thanks to my wife Laurie for listening) and had my mind so full of gaming, sleep came slowly and fitfully. In fact I had the kind of sleepless night that I normally have when my regular gaming group is starting a new game. If I’m running the game my plot twists...
