The fifteenth Kapcon, Wellington’s annual roleplaying convention and (in my ‘umble opinion) the best damn smallish con around, is on this weekend. ‘ray!
It’s a con that emphasises the games, to the point where that’s pretty much all it is – lots and lots of games. No dealers room, no auction, no seminar track.
It’s great fun though. The games are always good, and the traditional Big Live Game on Saturday night is always a stunner. This year’s game is set in the Victorian era and the local costume shops have been doing a roaring trade kitting people out for the big night. (Hmm. Live Game. That’s an odd contraction. I guess it would count as new language. It’s a big roleplaying event where everyone is physically in character. )
What a lovely con it is. And I can say that with some authority, now, having been to conventions in… hmmm… seven countries.
I’m going to be running some a/state. It gives me an excuse to wear my Contested Ground Studios t-shirt, after all.
Anyway. That’s where I’m at this weekend.
