No Jon, Less Con, No Swag or JonCon /Origins 2012


Well it came, earlier than usual, and with little fanfare. And deservedly so. From Wednesday through Friday crowds were down. School as still in session so that probably factored in. The dealer room had fewer vendors with less new product. Some of the heavy hitters; Wizards of the Coast, Fantasy Flight, Flames of War were missing and it showed. And damn few photo ops as well. That aside we had fun, spent too much, ate to much (Mongolian Barbeque), walked too much and will probably do it again. Hopefully the Adventure of Doom can make a return next year. We did find a late fall con, in Charleston West Virginia that we will probably try out. More on that later.

We decided to take a shat a creating a miniature based game to run next year, just for shits and giggles. We are think Civil War based, probably a smaller battle. Everyone can help from developing rules, painting minis, terrain construction. What say you men?? The first meeting will be in August some time (maybe GenCon).

Speaking of GenCon; who is going? We have two rooms reserved at the Sheraton.
