Another great gaming convention at this year’s Con of the North. This was the first year at the new location in Plymouth. Parking was a little hard but the hotel was nice and accommodating. There was a huge turn out this year as all kinds of card, board, miniature and role-playing games were present. I myself ran a Full Thrust miniatures game which was fun to watch a coupe newbies captain their fleets into asteroids and the "Red Planet". My second event was supposed to be a 8-player game of Advanced Dungeon Crawl 2.0 but with so much interest, I decided to let everyone in. We maxed out at 13 players in a couple small groups. It was an epic dungeon as almost everything seemed to be of large or greater size. Casualties were kept to almost half the players as they found themselves caught in-between a Red Dragon and a hungry Pit Fiend. All in all it was a awesome Friday night. My last game was a massive Starship Troopers Miniatures battle between bug and man. I actually got to partake and helped control the ground and pounding force of the Arachnids while the Mobile Infantry consisted of two full platoons of bug shooting troopers including officers in WASP jet packs and some Marauders suits. The objective was for the MI to hold out long enough from the menacing bug horde’s attacks while defending their base until a retrieval boat could pick them up. It was an uphill (or underground) battle for the troopers as the bugs tunneled closer and closer until unleashing their forces and overtaking the base. A spectacular win for the Arachnid Empire closed out my convention gaming this year and look forward to next years. You can view them in the Surveillanace Photos section of the website.
