thebitterguyGood weekend. Off to CanGames with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eyebeams, which was fun. We drove up to Ottawa for the con, leaving Supercar at ACB while we drove Mater & Pater up to Ottawa to spend time with Qusay.
I played surprisingly little, and made contacts for the Expo. I played a Marvel Superheroes game called Dora the Explosive, where I played a mutant fox named Swiper. Afterwards, I ditched a D&D game that gave me bad vibes (asides from concerns with the GM, a player started arguing with him almost immediately regarding party makeup), but played a pickup game of Heroclix with some guys. I pulled a great box (V Superman, E Bizarro, V Starfire & R Scarecrow) which unfortunately left me completely open to being locked down by Outwit. At the end, a mostly unharmed Darkseid took me out.
Ah, well. Had fun, in any case.
Snagged some good swag. Got my Ambush Bug HC fig, couple d20 Future books, and my copy of the old Murphy's Rules back (only been 10 years).

How big and busy was Cangames?
And what D20 Future products did you pick up?
Was there an auction of gaming and other geek-friendly materials?
And what the heck is an Ambush Bug fig?

Date: 2006-05-22 07:54 pm (UTC)CG was fairly busy. It was mostly wargames (Warhammer, Mechwarrior, D&DMG & HeroClix) with a few RPGs. Don't recall any organized CCG events. More pleasing than BayCon.
No auction, but some people put old stuff in a sort of auction area (if you liked it, you bought it). I got my brother a copy of AH's Wilderness Survival Game.
Ambush Bug is a DC comics character, and I got the Heroclix figure based on him.
