This weekend was the 9th LotR Tabletop Community Con, but not as usual at the Kauzenburg, it was held at a new location, the Bonnheimer Hof in Hackenheim.
Otherwise than usual, without my Feldherr messenger bag and only with my dslr equiped, Andreas and i drove down the Rhein toward Bad Kreuznach to pay this event a visit.
In the rural area between Hunsrueck and Rheinhessen, it continues getting more rural until you arrive at a manor. A roll-up in the inner courtyard assures, this is the place! Interesting location, especially for a Lord of the Rings themed event.
Last saturday the TinSoldiers of Antwerp invited to Crisis. And after the very positive impression from last year, it was a no-brainer that we would go to the show.
And with this picture of the event-legends from Salute, the South London Warlords, we head over to the second part of the coverage.
Beside the traders a lot of participation tables are the reason for the visitors to come to Crisis, so let's talk a look on a couple of them.
There was a lot to see for fantasy and pulp as well at Crisis, thanks to - among others - GCT Studio with Bushido and a french-polish joint booth.
After a successful show at Spiel, the next harbour for Freebooter was Antwerp.
And this away mission was succesful as well. The booth was heavily crowded from the first 15 minutes until the very last hours of the show. I was lucky enough to even get a line of sight for a picture of Werner.
A couple of familiar faces, that we've seen at Spiel were at Crisis as well. Among them Warlord Games, Conquest Games and Mantic Games.
At Warlord Games was as on the past shows, quite a lot going on, as the visitors wanted to get their hands on the army bundles and new plastic kits.
The Guild of Fantasy Roleplayers, GFR, organises the annual FeenCon in Bonn Bad Godesberg. As a Koblenz resident, it's not far away and we like to drop by.
On the same day as the BitBox the Action was hosted once again as Re-Action in 2012 at Rheindahlen.
In 2011 i visited for the first time the Crisis, the largest wargaming event on the european continent. As a regular visitor to Antwerp, i went for the whole weekend - the city is worth it!
After a good 3 hours ride in the morning, we arrived at the Metropolis Centrum in Antwerp, and found a busy parking lot and already a rather long queue in front of the fair centre.
