Scrum Con 2020



Just a quick note to let folks know that we have started planning Scrum Con 2020. Many details are still nascent and in flux, but we do have two important ones nailed down: the date and location, so mark your calendars!

Date: Saturday February 29, 2020

Location: Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza


Our new location is in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, and it's a much larger and more modern facility that will be a very pleasant place to spend a day gaming together. Within a block are three large parking garages (free on weekends) and about 20 restaurants, and the red line metro stop is only about two blocks away. [Google map]

Lovely interior spaces. We've reserved all of the facility's major conference spaces.
After selling out a week early last year, we're looking to grow the convention a bit, hoping to offer around 50-75% more games than we did for the last gathering.

There are lots of details still to come, and the best place to ensure you hear about them is by visiting the Scrum Con website and signing up for the email list to receive periodic updates (but not so many as to become annoying).

Curious to know what folks said about Scrum Con 2019 last February? Here's the feedback we received in our post-con survey...

"It was great. Had a lot of fun. Inspired me to try being a DM for a small group of friends."

 "I participated in the best con game I've ever played in!"

 "...a nice selection of games."

 "Well run...Nicely labeled tables, friendly staff."

 "It was great...Lots of fun!"

 "The flea market went very well!"

 "I'll be back next year!"

 "...everyone was having a good time, which is the goal. I think the Scrum Team tapped into a market for gaming in the area."

 "Lot of fun, and great con....Hope to see it grow!"

 "It was a great group of people. Mature gamers having fun, and no 'Game Store Egos' or nonsense to deal with. So refreshing. Thanks for a great day."

 "I liked having the miniatures games there, and would like to try one next time!"

 "I loved it...the event was excellent and a success."

 "I had a great time and hope to run a game at Scrum Con 2020."

 "This was an excellent small con...hope it went well for the organizers!"

 "Great job. Everything was super well-organized. Had a wonderful time." 

One of the biggest things you can do to help at this point is to spread the word by sharing the link to the Scrum Con website with any folks you think might be interested in attending! We'd be very much in your debt!

    Thanks...it'll be nice to have a bigger canvas to work on this time around. We'll have about twice as much space, which gives us alt more options than last time.

    It looks like a small version of the world. Let me remember a photography axis shifting technology in photography. The pictures taken are like a small country with a sense of art. Like the toys with elegant craftsmanship in the hands of children, they will certainly like it.

Take the High Road: Making Cheap and Easy Dirt Roads

I have wanted some good roads to add to my games for a while now. My first attempt was a couple of years ago when my standards were a bit lower and I wasn't sure how much I was interested in investing in this new hobby. I bought some PDFs of cobblestone roads that I sized, printed, and glued to felt. The result was okay, but the way my laser printer  produced the roads ended up being quite reflective to the point of almost being glossy looking. The combination of glue, paper, and felt also meant the roads had a wavy consistency and almost always curled at the edges. I used them once or twice but was never happy with them. My sub-par first attempt at making roads for my games using felt strips, glue, and printed designs. You can see how shiny and how wavy and curled at the edges they turned out. I never felt good about putting them on the table for our games and eventually stopped altogether. I've been meaning to take another crack at making some roads now that I have...

Playing with Yourself: 'Rangers of Shadow Deep' vs. 'Sellswords & Spellslingers'

As the year crawls to an end, I'm looking through this blog and noticing a couple of posts I started and never finished. This is one of them. Back in July 2019, I placed the photos on the page, jotted down a few bullet-point placeholder notes, and then never actually went back and wrote anything to post.   The post was meant to be my informal review of Rangers of Shadow Deep after my first game of it with Josh O'Conner, who set it up for us to try in his basement. I think I never finished this post because I was not very impressed with the game but I knew Josh was, and we hadn't been gaming together long enough for me to be sure my candor about the game wouldn't hurt his feelings and sour a budding gaming friendship. I consider Josh more than a gaming friend these days, and so I'll go ahead and post this with some very short notes fleshing out the bullet points I had left as a reminder for myself back in 2019 (at least the one's I can still decipher the ...

Candid Photos From "Conan the Barbarian" (1982)

This post is barely gaming adjacent, but the Conan stories have informed much of my fantasy gaming since my first forays into the hobby. I've seen the John Milius adaptation more times than any other movie (probably over 50 times, though most of those viewings were on VHS or HBO as a teenager). The 1982 Conan  film was the first R rated movie I saw in a movie theater (age 12). The first convention game I ever played in was one in which I played the barbarian himself. The first convention game I ever ran as game master was an adaptation of Howard's "Beyond the Black River." For good or ill, I've spent a lot of time in that fantasy world. When I stumbled on an online trove of about 400 candid photos from various sets of Conan the Barbarian shot by somebody on the crew, it was oddly visceral for me. It generated a warm feeling getting to see these actors and sets from new angles, both in character and out, in situ and behind the scenes. Seeing Sandahl Bergman, Ge...

Lost Art of D&D No. 2: Games Workshop's Holmes Basic (1977)

After Games Workshop attained the license to print a co-branded edition of TSR's 1977 Dungeons & Dragons basic rules book, they set about putting their own stamp on it, designing a new cover and replacing a number of the illustrations they deemed too crudely drawn for their U.K. market.  The cover art was by John Blanche at the very start of his career as a fantasy illustrator. Blanche went on to be a mainstay at Games Workshop, producing countless illustrations for them. His fannish enthusiasm for the material--as an artist as well as a lifelong gamer--has deservedly made him a favorite over the decades. I first encountered Blanche's work in the David Day compendium, A Tolkien Bestiary (1978), to which he contributed five illustrations that sit comfortably alongside the book's chief illustrator, Ian Miller. I have a special fondness for this book, having coveted it as a child during my incipient Middle Earth fixation. My parent's procured an out-of-print copy of t...

Scrum Con IV: In Your Face!

The Second Saturday Scrum Club rejoined the fray on April 8, organizing and hosting Scrum Con IV in Silver Spring, Maryland. Although we ran a surprisingly successful virtual convention in 2021 that took advantage of its online format to invite all sorts of participants we couldn't have otherwise (Dirk the Dice of Grognard Files  in the UK ran a game, and I interviewed wargame/RPG historian Jon Peterson via livestream ), Scrum Con IV marked our return to an in-person format. Because  Scrum Con 2020 ducked right under the pandemic lockdown on the last weekend of February that year, we were anxious to see if anybody would remember us. Turns out any fears were misplaced...because Scrum Con sold out again this year! In fact, every in-person convention we've organized has sold out, but this year's Scrum Con IV was almost 70% sold out of its 225 badges in the very first week, a pace that frankly caught us off-guard. About a week before the show, we had sold enough badges that...

Chainmail: Battle of Emridy Meadows

In my imagination, Chainmail has always been that shadowy precursor to Dungeons & Dragons that I was both intrigued by yet leery of. I loved the idea of a game involving mass battles in a fantasy setting akin to those depicted in the The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings , but I also had a sense that Chainmail , released in 1971 a mere year after I was born, was likely a clunky wargame that would be too frustrating to bother mastering. It also didn't help that my first inkling of its existence was around 1980 or so when I could never dream of amassing the miniature armies needed to play out these massive conflicts. No, back then I was pretty sure Chainmail was the province of grizzled old grognards who had started wargaming before I was even born. Even after my gaming rebirth decades later in 2016, I was fine with letting the dim past remain so, and was more than content during my first couple of years back in the hobby exploring rules of a more recent vintage and managea...
