Best. Wing. Night. Ever! Seriously, a terrific turn out tonight at the pre-Fear The Con mixer. Tons of the best people you ever wanted to chat with all right under one roof with copious amounts of wings and booze in ready supply. I cannot begin to tell you how much fun this was. My inability […]
As I write this, it is half-an hour from World Wing Night, the social event kicking off the Fear the Con 3 activities. Today, my traveling companion James and I ventured ‘cross this great nation of ours from Texas to Saint Louis. We have secured ground transportation, lodging at the con hotel, and even enjoyed […]
There are those who believed it’d be a cold day in Hell before Luke Meyer returned to another Fear the Boot event. You may have noticed, there’s been a lot of snow this winter… Heard on Twitter yesterday, Luke Meyer, formerly of Fear the Boot and currently of The Podge Cast, announced that he would […]
At GenCon, I picked up the Zombies!!! board game, a game I first played at Fear the Con 2. Zombies!!! is a lot of fun because – well, zombies – and because it has characteristics of some of my favorite games. There’s the strategy and forward-thinking of chess. Truly, you need to be considering not […]
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this any earlier! The tradition of any hunter is to display the trophies of the kill, evidence of victory in the wilds. The same is true of the con-goer. Half the fun is bragging about the haul. Last year when I went to Fear the Con, I was on […]
The very last game I was supposed to be in was a session of Dread: The Last Hurrah. I’d been looking forward to Dread since the moment I had registered for it on the Warhorn site many weeks ago. The problem was that it was in the last slot of the last day of the […]
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the spectacular food prepared for us all weekend by the fine ladies of the Kitchen Kill Krewe (not their official designation, but shouldn’t it be?). Food was hot, tasty, and inexpensive. Seriously, all con food should be as good and affordable. There were several standout items on […]
After Saturday’s morning games wrapped up, Fear the Boot provided a live podcast. This is the element I felt was missing from last year’s convention, thus a very welcome addition this year. It was great to see the guys all bantering amongst each other. Additionally, they made the audience the fifth host providing a microphone […]
Sleep deprivation had absolutely no impact on the Battletech players running their game at the table across from our Savage Ghostbusters game. Yet another Chris Hussey game (YACHG), it was packed with twelve players. Hussey had ’em pumped. So much so that that at the beginning of each round, they all shouted: “Fear the Wind, […]
Day 2 of the con got off to what I would characterize as a rather groggy start. Many of the con-goers went to see a midnight showing of Watchmen at the conclusion of Day 1’s activities. You’ve never seen so many sleep deprived gamers! As much as I wanted to, I chose not to go […]
