This is not my usual battle report, but a small collection of pictures of just some of the goings on at the Historicon (established 1984) convention.
As a chronicler of mainly ancients themed tournaments, my pictures of the other events tend to be flyby snapshots about every 2 hours between the ancients tables and the bathrooms. #AgingSucks.
I received a lot of comments this weekend from ancients players that they cannot wait to see my game reports from Historicon. But there is a problem. I publish one a week, I have 6 done and waiting to be published. And I have just over 500 photographs to resize, annotate, put into context and publish. With diligence, this should take me about 18 days.
And I start a new job on Monday...
This will be a special report from Historicon, to be released immediately, while the iron is hot so to speak. As opposed to coming out in September to a bored response of, "Historicon? Wasn't that ages ago?" #24HourNewsCycleAttentionSpan

I live 15 minutes from the convention center, still haven't made it out yet. Next year I'll slot some vacation time (I work weekends).

Looks like a good time!

Thanks! I appreciate your efforts here.

I am seeing tons of great shots of this Con online. Maybe someday I can make it out there.
