Oregon HERO fans who are also into anime might want to start making plans for Kumoricon 2004. This will be Portland's first full-fledged anime convention, taking place at a hotel Downotown. I'm not on staff formally, but I'm thinking if I could help get an interested gamemaster or two to offer their services it couldn;t hurt the con. Although hitting someone over the head with a foam sword is strongly advised against....

In adiition, i was wondering if anyone had anime manga, or comics=related board or cardgames that they would either recommend or donate to the cause. Something like Miunchkin Fu, Ninja Burger or Girl Genius: the Works might go over especially well (you have to be a real prdue not to like the Foglios).
