Poldercon - A Lardy Perspective
« on: February 17, 2015, 01:42:18 PM »
Afternoon all,

I posted a piece about the very enjoyable Poldercon on Lard Island News which, I hope,  will be of interest to some.  I must say that I enjoyed the convention very much but, more than that, it gave me an opportunity to consider wargames shows generally.  For what it's worth, it is here:

By all accounts it really was a great success - thanks for this additional review and set of photos.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Here's hoping for something similar in the UK!

It was very nice chatting with you at the show Richard!

Looks brilliant - well done the organisers!  I very much hope to get to this if it keeps running.  Good write up and amazing Dutch terrain!  Thanks for posting, Rich.

The all-participation-game model with dedicated scheduled slots for each game makes it sound closer to the North American gaming convention model instead of the UK 'show' model. I like the idea of demos and seminars, though, that would be an interesting addition to a con.
