dsatow Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Just curious, do you go to gaming conventions and run hero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Do I go to what now? Oh, right. Gaming conventions. Those things that occur on the entire other side of the continent from where I live. Damn. I had forgotten about those..... I'm going to go cry now. Back in a bit.

Christougher Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Not nearly often enough. Guy was advertising free GenCon attendance for GMs willing to run City of Heroes related adventures. Was going to run t a team saving DATA's digital archives from Arachnos thieves, through zone-wide disasters, ending at in Peregrine Island, where the DATA core goes through a Portal, and the PCs wake up seven years later... Wanted to run an Avengers game, Loki Unbound, where the Avengers find out what happened after Loki disappeared with the Tesseract and usurped Thanos' quest for himself to bring about Ragnarok... ... sigh.

Spence Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Not in a long time. The last cons I attended were last minute and I only managed to get there. Played in a CoC game and a GUMSHOE game. Keep intending to go to another and I'd like to run something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Bushido Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Southeast USA: the best part. Don't mention dragoncon. I think we all know why I support that particular boycott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably just change the state in the url for your state.) https://fancons.com/events/schedule.php?year=2020&type=gaming&loc=usFL https://www.upcomingcons.com/cons/state/florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Goodwin Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Last year I ran a Danger International game (Global Task Force Omega vs. the World Terror Front) at GameStorm. This year I'm planning to run a Robot Warriors game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to Florida for the same reason I don't go to Atlanta: I do not like to leave the south. Chris Goodwin and dsatow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Kids and family, who has time? Btw I’m in PA so I don’t think there are a lot of conventions around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattingly Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I hit all the Louisville cons, several other Kentucky cons, and Origins and/or GenCon each year. I used to run only Hero games, but now I also sometimes run Marvel FASERIP, Dresden Files, and few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a board game convention in Champion, PA. PS: Whatever you do, don't do what one guy I heard did at Dundracon. He told his wife they were going to vacation in Northern California near San Francisco at really good hotel rates. He came up, brought his two kids with them, and then attended the Con. I heard he got chewed out and missed the next few cons but came to an agreement with his wife (that wasn't a divorce) and now attends regularly.

Spence Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I should gather up the last few one shots I've run at my FLGS and register for Dragonflight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ruggels Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Been out of the loop for 15 years. Used to run a lot of pick up games at cons. Fantasy Hero, Cyberpunk, occasionally Tri-Tac, but Inhavent been to a gaming con in maybe 18 years? Going to one on Saturday, but I am so rusty , and Inhave nothing prepared. I will see how it goes. If it’s good I may GM someday, but it helped to have a regular weekly group, but Indont have a face to face local. Just 5e on Roll 20’on Saturday’s.

grandmastergm Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I plan on running 5 HERO events over at Origins this year, but I need to submit my games. I ran 5 HER0 events last year, all of which sold out (although one of them had 2 drop-outs at the last minute). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdw3773 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Previously, I ran Champions at the two major game conventions here in the Omaha, NE, metro area, NukeCon held in the fall and PretzCon held in the spring for the past three or four years. Turnout has been consistently good at both venues. Most players have had previous experience with the Hero System in some form or another, but I've also had some brand new players sample it and enjoy the RPG scenarios.
