It's happening. After years of me considering whether to do something like this or not, Justin and I, with help from Scott and Rowan, are finally hosting the first (hopefully annual) Busan Tabletop Gaming Convention.
The date is Sunday, Nov. 30, at Cafe With, a privately owned cafe with a really cool owner. It's not a big event, but in just one day we have a bunch of games planned.
In the morning (10am to 1pm), we have six games, including Call of Cthulhu (Richard), Tales of the Arabian Nights (board game, run by Justin), Black Sword Hack (Peter), Perils & Princesses (Jenifer), Despair (Shane - read about my playtest experience here), and Classic D&D (me).
In the afternoon (2:30 to 5:30), we have five games (plus Shane's Despair game is expected to go long): Dread (Justin), Cyberpunk Red (Keith), D&D 5E 2024 (Scott), Pathfinder 2E (Elyse -- maybe, she's been ignoring my request to detail her game), and Mothership (Jonathan).
Finally, in the evening (7 to 10), we have three games: Gamma World (me), Whitehall Mystery/1775 (board games run by Justin), and Clank! Catacombs (board game run by John). Scott's 5E game may also go long into this time slot.
Unfortunately, the cafe couldn't fit us in on a Saturday, because they have other events planned. And the later Sunday games may not get many players because some people are coming in from out of town, and even people in the city taking public transportation may take a while to get home. And most of us have to work the next day.
Still, I'm excited to see how many players we recruit. I'll be sending out that pitch this weekend. Hopefully Elyse gets her info to me on time.
Wow! That's awesome. Let us know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteYou know I will. Elyse finally contacted me this morning (she was sick), so we've got all the promo stuff, sign up forms, and everything done. Just waiting on Scott and Rowan to modify their convention Discord server, and we'll start recruiting players.
ReplyDeleteThis is very exciting! I can't wait to here how it goes.
ReplyDeleteSo far, so good. We are getting people to signnup. There's a lot to do, but none of the steps have actually been that difficult. I should have done this years ago.
