While it covers all sorts of geeky subjects--comics, movies, sci-fi and fantasy, horror, steampunk, and new media--it's the gaming offerings that interest me. Convention guests from the gaming industry include Steve Jackson and a couple of later-edition Dungeons & Dragons game designers, Chris Perkins and Chris Sims.
Most of the games are 4E D&D or Pathfinder, which aren't my thing, but I did notice a couple of miniatures events on the schedule: Undead States of America (a zombie game) and Universal Space Game System (spaceship combat), both by Ubergoober Games.
There's also a videogame setup that sounds really interesting: the Artemis Bridge Spaceship Simulator, created by Thom Robertson, which features several linked computers simulating the main screen and bridge stations of a starship. I'd love to give this one a try. Maybe someone can set this up at the next Millennium Con or Chimaera Con.
Is anyone planning on attending this convention? If so, I'd love to see some photos.

There is also a Fields of Glory Ancients tournament, being organized by my friend Tom Lytle. I will be playing Byzantines, and acting as a speedbump for the contenders in the tournament.
