Has it been a year already since last year’s Terminal City convention? Why yes, yes it has. This year’s event was still down at the Vancouver Convention Centre on the waterfront, but it changed buildings to a much larger room. This convention-goer approves of… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026”

Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”

This past weekend was the Dragonflight boardgame convention in Bellevue, Washington. I’ve gone down the last couple of years and used to go down before the pandemic, but this was the first year where most of my Vancouver contingent didn’t go down too. Thankfully,… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective”
