There is a one-day convention this Saturday, June 20th being held at the Long Branch Royal Canadian Legion hall. It's the convention's second annual appearance. Here's the web site: holdtheline.ca I have no connection with the organizers but it was an interesting convention last year in its first go around so if you're in the GTA area, give it a try. There's one bus from Kipling Subway that serves the Long Branch RCL (123 & C) and a few other routes from other West-end subway stations; and it's also the site of the (Long Branch) GO Station for those without drives. Here are photos from the first convention: link |

Pretty good show! Not as well attended as lat year's, but the earlier date conflicted with some minor affair in Belgium! At least I assume that's where all the missing faces were! |

Really enjoyed the convention. Great games, great gamers, great venue. I didn't attend last year, so I can't comment on attendance, but the people I spoke to suggested it was about the same compared to last year. I chatted with a couple of the vendors, and they said that it was a marginally better year sales wise. I would like to have seen more games in the Evening, I ended up getting in on an impromptu game of Last Night on Earth, with a great group of guys, but there was only the one scheduled game for the Evening time slots. All in all, I thought it was great day. |

I had fun as well, got to command the A Team in the morning then played in Keith's Check Your 6 game in the afternoon. Bought some 15mm terrain, 28mm VSF stuff, and a nice old Squadron Signals book on WWII FAA aircraft. I also won some sweet stuff in the raffle, so it was all good. Looked like the DBA guys were busy with their tournament, I'd thought attendance was a bit lighter too, but once I added in those guys in the "back room", numbers might have been closer than I'd originally thought. |
