Is SuperCon a gaming convention?
No. But let’s make a distinction. For the SuperCon committee, gaming is defined as any D&D \ Wargame derivative that takes hours to play. We prefer such things be left to other times. Remember, there’s only 42 (or so. Maybe 50. Heck, we hear some people even make 72!) hours that we are all together. We prefer that time be spent getting to know, or re-know, one another, and there are certain intensities to such games that such down the social areas of the brain and bring out the desire to kill. Kill. KILL!!! Bloodstains are awfully hard to clean out of the carpet. We do like, however, simpler games from a more elegant time. Or is it elegant games from a simpler time? Whatever. The best rule of thumb to use is this: If it takes longer to explain how to play the game than it takes to play, let’s go play parchesi.
