Jiffy Games at Connecticon

JiffyCon is run by a group of folks who love, play and design small press independent role playing games. Several of us traveled down to Connecticut to check out a big convention that was new to us: ConnectiCon.

ConnectiCon is a huge (up to 10,000 attendees) con, focused on fandoms of all varieties. Their description, that it is "a massively, multi-genre pop culture convention" is dead accurate. A couple of us went last year, and decided to test out having a booth to sell games. The organizers of the convention graciously invited us to participate as Industry Guests and made us feel very welcome. We had a great time meeting a lot of new people, learning about many new shows, books, comics (like the great stuff from Rare Earth Comics), games (Dungeon Crawl Classics is out!), memes and pop culture fiction--and getting to share about our games & indie publishing as well!

Big greetings to everyone we talked with during and after the Gaming Guest Meet & Greet (lovely to meet Michael Brock, mastermind of the Paizo Pathfinder Society there), the Creating Indie Games panel, OSR, Swords & Sorcery and the Sex (in gaming) on the Table panel. Props to our Nerd NYC friends who held down the weekend with near non-stop Marvel Superheroic game system and ran a mess of other great panels as well. And our friendly neighborhood gaming story Modern Myths was in the house! We'd love to see all our nearby new friends at a JiffyCon to play games you bought or talked to us about, and we're looking forward to seeing you all again at ConnectiCon next year.
