Coming soon!!!
Very soon. As in, next weekend soon...
Next weekend will be the Society of Daisy's now mostly annual convention, known as OttoCon.
Originally, it was called "The Weekend". When Otto Schmidt, our Grand Poohbah, began the show, it was designed as a big game day like you would have at a friend's house. It expanded to two days and we started to include things like a "bring and buy" and the infamous Munchie Pit, which are snacks and beverages provided by the attendees.
We don't have any vendors, like most shows, because we always felt kind of sorry for the poor vendors that had to watch people rush off to games whilst they had to man their booths.
And Otto deliberately kept everything low tech and low maintenance, because we are lazy administrators at heart. No Book of Faces, No websites. No Social Media presence, except for numpties like me who'd wax and whinge about things on our blogs or forums or whatever.
Anyway, our "theme", which no one ever pays attention to, is Naval Gaming, which I do enjoy.
I am pretty much the entire Volunteer Staff. I help take in the receipts, set up tables, move things around, and generally help Tracy, our Grand Poobah since Otto's passing. In fact, it was Tracy who recommended we re-name The Weekend after Otto. Otto probably would have stomped his feet and wagged his finger against it. But he's dead. So he didn't get a vote.
So next weekend, I'll probably do a post from OttoCon. A fun, quirky show for some fun quirky gamers. Some miniatures, some board games, and of course....Military Science Theatre 2000.
