Lucas Findling, the Perth based designer of Raidents the boardgame, was good enough to come and demo his new game at Swancon this year.

It's an excellent game, very tactical, somewhat likened to playing chess with grenades. I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it.

The kickstarter has just launched.

#swancon #perth #westernaustralia #sciencefictionconventions Post Swancon get together is at the Old Shanghai Wednesday 26th of April 2023 at around 6:30 but no doubt people will be coming and going earlier and later.

Leece makes a convention report from the perspective of running the boardgaming room in it.

And on day 2 of the convention, I got to use my shiny new dice in a little D&D demo game. #dice #DnD #SwanCon

Rifo's has nice gf pasta options. We didn't try the pizza.

After at The Rise, the usual chair wrangling, A/V stuff achieved and some sign-fu.

Now for a nice sleep and get over to Maylands earlyish in the morning.

See those of you who are able to make it there!

#swancon is on the 15th and 16th!

@threedudesdad I went to a #swancon panel once where the idea was addressed - it being a popular one - but regretfully was rejected as not being particularly feasible. There was science. So don't feel bad about not knowing, just tell people you were wanting a believable universe. 😉

I think it was @rdm who did a panel at #SwanCon one year on the theme of “gentle apocalypses”, with Yokohama Shopping Trip as a key part of it. But #ARIAtheANIMATION probably fits as well, even though we never really see Manhome at all. I think @leece might have been involved as well.

#sciencefictionconvention #sciencefiction #fantasy #genghiscon Genghiscon starts today, woo! Misssing those that can't make it, looking forward to playing with those who can, and whizzing off to the Rooftop Cinemas in the middle of it to watch Strange World with the Perth SF&F Meetup group on Saturday night! *phewf*

Lakeside event, woo!

Genghiscon baal Galap moolar-ak-gnat, woola! #noongarlanguage

Just have to water, finalise packing games and #Swancon promotio nal things and wondering if Wayfarer of the South Tigris is too much brain for people to teach and learn at a convention.
