DEXCON 13
« on: May 03, 2010, 05:40:03 PM »
I know we have a weekend clash with Historican and it is really local to you guys, so I am not above bribery.

If any of you guys are on the fence about making the drive to Dexcon 13 throw me a line and I will get you money off the badge price, might be enough to even out the gas money.

I will do my best, and If I get enough interest I will have a Warzone tourney for you guys, but even if I run it I am playing in it, so there (not like I ever won...lol).

Also if we get enough interest, maybe we can get Thom to make an appearance (he will go where you guys go, he is a great guy that way), he had a good time at dreamation and I am going to bribe him to come again next year. I just have to make more time to hang out, had too much stuff to run (my bad sorry Thom). I would love to make Dex and Dream back into the place where everybody collected to jam with Chrono/Wzone every year, we always had such a blast.

And I will do what it takes to make it happen again.

I will do what I can to take care of you guys, just tell me what you need.

Speaking for myself, Bill, it is the distance that is the deal-breaker.

I haven't been to cons as often as I would like, and that plays into the decision of whether I wish to go.  The fact that Historicon is local (to me) means that I don't have to shell out extra for a room, and keeps more cash in pocket.  Gas is expensive over distance, too.

It does hurt that a lot of the guys that used to go can no longer attend, as it is even further for them.

You are right in that it was a blast when we'd all get together and play and hang out.  I do miss that - a lot.

Perhaps if the venue were closer, it would make the decision a bit more of a toss-up.  For now though, it appears that I will be going to Historicon.  I know a lot of folks who will be there, it is relatively local, and it means I will not have to take time off work to attend.

It's not you, Bill - it's me...;D

I echo Dave's words above.

I really enjoyed the cons up north (Dexcon - Dreamation). It is the fact that there are even further north that really kills it for me. Not to mention the conflict in dates with Historicon.

I liked the events at these cons and also the poker tourney.

This year I will be attending Historicon again. I never considered myself a Historical gamer, but there is that and much more there. I think you should still play Warzone/Chronopia up there if you get others to join you. I hope you have a great time if you go this year.

It was great. Didn't play any warzone/chronopia, but played alot of great games. Played large scale (the Arena) Monsterpocalyse, Wings of War, Bill's Chariot Race, and World of Warcraft. All were a blast and had good turn outs. Other games included Babylon 5, Uncharted Seas, Firestorm, Dark Hiersey, Small verision MonPoc, and Anima Tactics. 9 hours sleep between the 3 nights followed by a 15 hour work day on monday. I'am tried.
