This is a photo of one of the tournament rooms, the larger one that had the 40k team tournament in it all weekend long. Add another room about 4/5ths of the size for Fantasy, another two for Warmahordes and Malifaux, a couple rooms upstairs for Blood Bowl and some of the hobby seminars, a room full of every vendor you can reasonably imagine, and a random amount of people wandering and demoing games in the halls and you have AdeptiCon. Not nearly as large as PAX, but certainly much larger than any tournament I’ve ever been to!
We wandered the vendor hall during our breaks. I wish now that I’d had a shopping list before we went, as I continuously browsed their wares, desperately searching for something I wanted to buy now that the smörgåsbord was in front of me. I left with multiple Dreadball teams, only one for myself. (Somehow I’ve been overcome with a desire to play the rats…)
That afternoon Dale and Chris arrived in the hall with a loud CHOP! and it was nice to know that they were successful in their flights. That evening we walked for a half hour to a local pub (…nothing is walking distance away…) and there we were met with a great surprise – Peter had flown to the con as well! Last we’d heard he wasn’t coming, but apparently the night before he had a change of mind and bought a plane ticket. He hadn’t brought his army and was going to hang out, drink, talk with people and try to record for the Chumphammer podcast.
I got pretty drunk in celebration. 🙂
Tomorrow is the Blood Bowl tournament!
