Pics from Dreamation

So while I was out attending the Dreamation and Wicked Faire I brought my new digital camera and snapped some shots to test it out. So here most of them are....

This was a POV shot from our table space in the Registration room at Dreamation. Registration is covered up with white table cloths because it was around midnight. I think this was Friday night.

This was our table where we had the Killzone 2 and Halo Wars demos running for people to check out and so that Rich could run his social experiment. It's also where I did some interviews when we couldn't find anywhere else to talk.

I believe this was the AVATAR LARP system's annual high council meeting. I know Avie and Kate and Tiny were there but I didn't stick around long enough to find out definitively.

This was a panoramic shot of the Board Game room and the Big Board on the back and left walls. This was at Midnight on Friday Night and look how packed it was....

Now this was Saturday morning at 9am in the same room. The board games were really hopping even at that early hour.

The table of prizes you can spend your points on that you earn by playing in different games during the convention. Some of them are pretty cool, others are just nostalgic, but all of them are FREE!

Knight Realms was represented at the convention and running some modules.

Ah...my friend's at security. They had this Profit Sharing Plan that I had to inquire about. It involved them taking my profits. I wasn't such a fan....but it was funny.

One of the vendors that was set up, but in the hallway heading to the Dealer's Room. I thought it would be a cool panoramic shot.

This was most of the dealer's room. The weaponry is from Griffon's Claw Armory who I run into at just about every convention I go to.

Smirk & Dagger was at the convention and Curt Covert sat down with me and talked about some of the most recent releases and about something that he is currently working on.

Jonathan Lavallee talking to, and joking with, a reporter who came down to the convention and was talking to different guests.

I blinded Dave Simpson with my camera. And that was just the tip of the iceberg of abuse I laid upon him for the entirety of the convention.

There was a movie theater attached to the hotel and gamers set up in the hallway leading to it. I wonder how many normal people ran away....

This is where Rich and I shot the opening and closing segments for the convention where the waterfalls were running the entire time.

The NAGA and PRGA and Indy games were given the entire boardroom area of the hotel which meant they were segmented away from the rest of the convention but they had such a great area to be put in.

Jennifer Rodgers is an artist who has been working with a variety of Indy Games.

There was a ton of Street Fighter 4 going on, both on the big screen in the Video Game room and at our table between sections.
