I may attend a bit of DunDraCon but once again won't play any official games. Looking through the convention book I fantasize about attending some of the following events.

War College: Sat 1300 Fun with Poison Gas!

"Join former combat engineer and history teacher Arthur
Prospero for a delightful romp through the history of
poisoned gas in warfare!"

-- There were a couple of years when I tried to attend a lot of War College seminars.
Nothing looks amazingly interesting this year.


Seminar: Sat 1100 The 5 Room Dungeon Method: NOT Just For Dungeons – Presentation

"Come learn about the 5 Room Dungeon Method of dungeon
creation. But it’s not just for creating dungeons. I’ll tell you
how to use it for creating castles, villages, and more."

Seminar: Sat 1200 What’s New in Role-Playing Games – Panel

"Panelists will talk about what they are playing and especially
what is new and worthy of your consideration."

-- Before War College existed there'd be years when I attended a lot of seminars
especially company specific ones (Chaosium and Hero Games were local so they
did seminars). The 5 Room Dungeon Method sounds useful and apparently the idea
was developed by Johnn Four

Protospiel: Venusville by Battj LLC

"Build a space colony together, but also against one another. Small big,
short playtime, big strategy."

-- Not really into beta-testing games and many other Protospiels are more war gamey
but not war games. This one sounds interesting.


LARP: 772 The Freighter Coralus

"You are the crew of the Coralus , a rickety old freighter
carrying much needed relief supplies to a settlement on
the planet Ithaca, which has been cut off by ion storms
for the past year...Twenty minutes ago an accident occurred
forcing the the crew to make a critical decision."

-- I avoid LARPS and so many of them suggest costumes to wear. I think this
was the only sci-fi LARP.


Miniatures: 253 Assimilation Target: Camp Khitomer - Star Trek Attack Wing

"At the historic site of Camp Khitomer, peace talks
soon begin between the Federation, the Klingon Empire,
the Romulan Star Empire and the Dominion...The summit
has been shrouded in absolute secrecy, yet somehow the
Borg Collective is aware. As the last escort ship takes
position, a transwarp conduit appears on the edge of
the system, a fleet of Borg vessels emerging from the
aperture, on course straight for Planet Khitomer."

Miniatures: 553 Napoleonic Naval Battles
Miniatures: 652 Napoleonic Naval Battles

"Command a 3 ship squadron of powerful Napoleonic
ships of the line to destroy the enemy fleet. Unlock
your inner Admiral Nelson with fast play and hex-
based gaming action. Popular with the South Bay
Gaming Club and played regularly at game conventions
in the SF Bay Area."

Miniatures: 558 Night Delivery - Car Wars 4th Ed

"So you successfully borrowed the cargo before it
reached its destination, now all you have to do is
drop if off and collect the $800k payoff - how hard
could that be?! And what are those green and red fluids
leaking out of the 7’ tall crate? Are those noises you
hear coming from there the crate? Maybe you should
have sprung for a larger cargo vehicle, or at least one
with a separate cargo area.
$250k for 8 vehicles"

-- Lots of interesting miniature games. I chose a representative space battle (there
was also Star Wars, Starblazers, Battlestar Galactica, generic ones). The Napoleonic
fleet battle was the only naval battle I found. There was only one Car Wars and 4E
is the last old-school edition with the detailed vehicle design rules. I saw one other
car combat game, Gaslands.
