We arrived at Mark Rosenberger's place about 6PM on Friday. The event itself was Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I had an opportunity to actually sit and talk to some people during the evening and got some interesting feedback and commentary from the folks there. I wish we could have been there Saturday as well, but we had the Flint Comic Con on Saturday as well.
I really see why this type of game con has become so popular, it gives a chance for like minded people to meet in small groups to talk, play and in our case, to sell. (Our patrons were generous, and we do appreciate that!) If you have been wondering what all of the HomeCon and Leftover cons at Mark's are like, you should attend. He provides a place to sleep, eat and play when he holds these events. There is the cost of travel, but otherwise it is a real inexpensive weekend.
Because it is such a loose atmosphere Sue even finds the time to run games there. She ran one Friday night for 8 or 9 people and they had a good time.
The Flint Comic Con was held downtown Flint in the historical Masonic Temple, right across the street from Halo Burger. Halo Burger is our areas premier burger joint. Really good stuff. Anyway, the event was surprisingly well attended and Sue sold a good number of prints and made a couple of painting commission arrangements. The organizers will be doing this again next year. It is focused on Flint area Talent. I am wondering about arranging for a "Dragon Storm" room for playing in next year. I have way more desires than I have time to make arrangements. *sigh*
I am running a DS game this evening and I want to try some new ideas out on the players. I will let you know how that goes. With this fine new tool, iPad, maybe I can start to get some of these internal creations out to you guys in a more timely fashion, we shall see. It has always been a dream I have had.
