Tacticon 2011 Post-Con Report:

RP Artisans had another successful run! This time, we were at Tacticon 2011.

I think it's safe to say that this year was the best Tacticon yet. DGA is getting better and better at this (and the hotel really stepped up this year to make us feel welcome). Can't wait to see how Genghis goes!

As for the RP Artisans, a few of our celebrated GMs couldn't make it this year due to other commitments (we missed you, Rich, Alyson, and Michelle!), but we still managed to pull off some mighty fine games:

Scott Field ran five games: Champions (The Mile High Club), Star Hero (Tau Draconis), Pulp Hero (Pulp Friends), and Fantasy Hero (Flying Ninja Pirates), and Pulp-Star Hero (Ace Cobalt)!

Troy Latta ran one table of Munchkin. Turns out Wookiee barbarians are GREAT at finding traps!

Bill Keyes ran four games: Two each of Lucha Libre Hero (The Daughter of Frankenstein) and Steampunk Hero (The First Men on the Moon).
