I Came, I Saw, I Vul-Con’d [Event Recap]
Wow, what a weekend. Not only did I run around waving my arms like Kermit, but Lightning Octopus crashed for a few days.
I’m not savvy enough to say exactly what happened, but I believe the technical explanation is that it fell off of a wall, some king’s horses and king’s men from the hosting company gathered around the mess, and somehow (magic?) it was sort of put it back together again.
I did lose a few posts and pictures, so I apologize if you find a section of the site that seems a little janky.
That said, I had a really fun weekend, thanks to the awesome folks from Vul-Con and The Gamers’ Inn.
(I also hit up the Horror & SciFi Film Festival, which I’ll post about later.)
It’s difficult to really convey the scope and majesty of what the Vul-Con guys put together with this thing. I could say it was huge, but saying it can’t fully share the impressive experience of walking around the 20+ foot Circus Maximus. I’m a big fan of local people taking their resources and making awesome things, and what they made is certainly awesome.
In addition to their chariot race and gladiatorial Colosseum, other local gaming groups hosted a ton of games smattered throughout the space, including the Table Top Gaming Society, The Arizona Men in Black, & Todd VanHooser.
The guys behind Vul-Con, Jay and Rick, turned out to be really easy to talk to, passionate about gaming (obviously), and overall nice guys.
Be sure to check out Vul-Con’s site and stay tuned for future events. They also have a few more pictures of their own on their blog today.

Sorry that I missed you at VC. I was the guy running Revolution and Munchkin Zombies towards the front. I even had Zombie Dice ready for ya!
Oh, dangit! That would have been sweet. You’re still on my list to swing by at Phoenix Comicon.
I’ll be there. I’ll also be at LepreCon. My demo team will be at Laughing Moon Con as well…Anytime you see the MiBs feel free to swing by and say hi!
We will be @ Laughing Moon Con as well with the Colosseum running some games of Gladiator.
