RopeCon 2005
Troops advancing in Gemigabok's 1808-1809 game.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
I rather like the terrain thay made for this occasion.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
DBM game in action.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More DBM.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
A line of BloodBowl players.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Classic BattleTech.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
The con crowd.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
A panel on roleplaying in MMORPG's.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
A panel on designing a game based on romantic myths.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
A map from a Glorantha game. I guess it's Dragon Pass, but I don't really know anything about Glorantha.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More WFB action. There are so many pictures of WFB games simply because there were so few other miniature games around.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
I took this picture because I liked the paintjobs.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Epic games in action. Or maybe it's just one big game, I don't really know.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More Epic gaming.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
The Doom boardgame. The pieces actually look rather nice. Maybe I should buy this, if just for the pink demons...
|
|
RopeCon 2005
A demo of some homebrew game that looks a whole lot like Space Hulk. A little more emphasis on production values might be a good thing.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Spot the odd one out. I took this picture simply because they had Stephen J. Turnbull's Samurai Warfare lying on the table.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
It's so b lurry I can't even tell which game they're playing, though I think it's WFB.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
This couple was dancing in the lobby. By themselves. But not all that badly.
|
|
Queen Victoria
This is the Foundry LE figure.
|
|
Queen Victoria
She came out looking a bit like an old maid. But then again, a colorful dress wouldn't suit her and plain black is just dull.
|
|
Castle Chelmsford 3-D
Here's one of the posters I spread around the con.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
A game of Epic in progress.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
I believe this was a Confrontation demo.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
One of the miniatures gaming tables.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More gaming tables.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Ah, the goold old bare-on-bare: Barely undercoated minis on a bare table.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More gaming tables.
|
|
Tables
These are all made from HeroQuest props. The torture rack is straight forward, the other tables were fleshed out with popsicle sticks.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Magic the Cash Cow in progress.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Lots of neat stuff on sale. I think these were locally made though the usual Far East imports were also there.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More swords, this time latex.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
And more latex swords. They look pretty good actually.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
The crowd.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More people. I'd guesstimate roughly 1/3 were dressed up.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Nice Harlock outfits.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
The girls like dressing up, though I did see one male fairy, complete with wings. Didn't manage to get a picture though.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More costumes.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Reminds me of an old Scorpions song...
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Ran out of tables?
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Trolls or something?
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Juhana Petterson puffing his new book, which actually is rather good.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Guy Windsor teaching the finer points of swordplay.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
It's Guy again. I really liked his piece. Usually martial arts instructors are hard pressed to form a single cohesive sentence, but Guy knew how to handle an audience.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Guy and the art of Spanish fencing.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Guy Windsor demonstrates Spanish fencing techniques with one of his students.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Guy demosntrating a salute.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More swordplay on stage.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Greg Stafford with a minder. RopeCon's had a bunch of rather boring guests of honor lately, but Greg was a hoot. Really great guy, and one of the real pioneers to boot.
|
|
Columns
More resin columns. I'm not really happy how these turned out.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Dancing.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More people.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
I think it's a DBM game by the DBM tournament guys. Not my cup of tea.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More bare-table action.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Gemigabok put up a very nice War of 1808-1809 game (Finland's involvement in the Napoleonic wars and the final straw for the Swedish camel).
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Closeup on some of the stuff from Gemigabok's game.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Gemigabok's table from the other side.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
The camo cloth is not such a bad idea, but the hills just don't fit.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
The miniatures side of things was maybe 90% WFB, 9% 40K and 1% others. I was a bit amazed there was so little 40K.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More WFB games. More painted armies this year too, which is always nice.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Games of WFB in progress.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More WFB games in prgress.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
WH40K in progress. I just knew this had to be in the con... It's the game hon, who cares about the miniatures? Erm, yeah right, I'd rather play ASL.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More 40K. I like the yellow tanks. I find it extremely boring when people don't have the balls to deviate from the canon color schemes (and black primer doesn't count).
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More unpainted hordes for 40K.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Rather nice looking 40K game. Except what are the ruins doing on a nice green golf course?
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Warmachine demo. And the only Warmachine game I could spot. Vey nice painting, though.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More WFB action.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Nice pyramid, even though in general the tables were pretty much like this: completely lacking a unifying theme.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More black primer legions.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
More WFB tournament action.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Still more WFB.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Interesting flag designs.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
Very nice Tau outfit.
|
|
RopeCon 2005
I have no clue what they're playing.

They don't like their tea time being disturbed.

The guards rush to the scene while the witch doctor takes another path.

Another view of the dungeon.

|
|
RopeCon 2005
More costumes.
|
|

A demo game of Kaukopartio (roughly equivalent of LRRP).

More of Gemigabok's neat terrain.

Gemigabok's terrain. Rather nice and authentic looking.
