JiffyCon Summer
Jun. 22nd, 2008 08:49 pmHey,
So this weekend I went out to Greenfield MA for JiffyCon which is an informal, one-day gaming convention for the Western MA/Indie game set. It was a lot of fun. I got to see a bunch of people I haven't in awhile and play some fun games.
( here's what I played )
All in all, it was a pretty good weekend for me. I also picked up and read a copy of Runners by Sean Wang. This is a graphic novel collecting the first 5 issues of the comic by the same name. It's good old, smugglers in space. There's only one human and he's a secondary crew member. It's not outstanding but the art and story is pretty good so I might look into the next collection if/when it comes out.
Oh! I also got a sneak-preview of the Mouse Guard RPG. A.) It's gorgeous. I think it's on par with Nobilis for prettiest RPG. B.) It uses a slimmed down Burning Wheel ruleset. C.) Archaia Studio Press is handling the actual publication. Which is kind of a bummer since they're notoriously irregular in their publishing schedule. So I guess it's just wait and hope.
