Alright, which cons are ya'll going to attend this year?
Post the name of the con and a link to their web page.

I'll be at Anime Weekend Atlanta running "Battletech" in the Analog Gaming area.
http://awa-con.com/

I would like to drop BT for V&V in 2017...  I think I have a solid adventure built up for 1st timers.

I missed out on Wizard World, Seishun Con, AndoCon, and Treklanta.

There is a slim chance I will attend

Dragon Con www.dragoncon.org
MomoCon www.momocon.com
Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo www.southernfriedgameroomexpo.com
Sci Fi Summer Con http://sfscon.tripod.com/


Atlanta has crappy traffic, but wonderful conventions and all the sweet tea and Coca-cola your can drink Smiley

Here in Portland?  But it says right by your name and pic that you live in Flushing, NY!

Talk about quite a commute! Wink

Yes, I get a meeting room in downtown Flushing in a Hyatt.  Had one so far, planning another in August.    Oni went to the first, so ask him if it was good or not.

We loved Johncon. Went with the Wife and Wolf Girl. Heck, Wolf Girl even got to design the T shirt Logo.

Unfortunately we got there very late but we still got a few games in. The place was packed!

John,

Need more room in August I think as the word gets out.

I don't know about you, but a few years ago - when I had him sign my copy at ECCC - he seemed quite surprised (he ended up telling the guy whose booth was next to his about how he'd done that V&V work as a teenager).

It is cool to have a few of the classic adventures out at Yad's Con table. We always here the same thing.

"DOOOOdddd.... Vee and VEEE. I used to play this all the time."

It's fun to hear that sort of thing, and get to be a part of it. Smiley

Yeah, he seemed pretty stoked to see it ("I did that when I was 15!") signed it, recognized my FORCE t-shirt and we talked for a minute before he had to book for the airport - literally, he was leaving his booth and when I passed back 2 minutes later he was totally gone...

He was great, and lived up to my expectations.
