The gaming group (table top/board games, not computer or gaming system stuff) that I am a part of - the AYUNGC [As Yet UnNamed Gaming Club - two decades of unnamed playing] has set the date for its third annual con - Ludophilia III as May 30 - June 2, 2013 at the Comfort Suites in Schaumburg, IL.
Our format is the same as Boardgamegeek.com's con in Texas - you bring it or see someone playing it - jump in or start it up. We have their conference room set aside for our use. The hotel has a limited block of rooms under the group rate "ludophilia".
I will pass along info, and probably post pictures of our eXtreme geekdom.
Wow! Twenty years.
ReplyDeleteI would go, but I've been know far and wide as a terrible RPGer and/or wargamer and I don't want to lose any friends.
We don't do roleplaying there - just board stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe would like you to come, maybe just for a day then?
We have snacks, and drinks (adult and nonalcoholic too). If that isn't enough of a lure, there is a Tilted Kilt right across the parking lot.
It is a good thing that Mrs. Prop doesn't "do" blogs, elst she would think I'd be tempted by the Tilted Kilt.
ReplyDeleteThe Quickfire group, Hampton Roads area, is still going strong and has a similar cadre of intellectual players. I miss that camaraderie.
