This year\u2019s OwlCon was once again an excellent experience for my friends and I, and judging by the ever-rising attendance numbers, other attendees have had similar experiences. Read of for details and pictures.<\/p>\n

The Claw \/ Claw \/ Bite crew carpooled from Austin to the beautiful Rice University campus for a long weekend of gaming and catching up with friends. I ran a great game of Divine Right with some first time players, helped Dan run our AD&D adventure Siege of Black Mountain, and played lots of other games, including the not-yet-released reprint of OGRE. To top it off, we not only figured out where to get good food on campus, but we discovered the on-campus bar, Valhalla.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I played a round of OGRE and had a blast. Fast-paced, easy to learn, and fun. I played the conventional forces trying to stop the OGRE from reaching my command post to no avail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daniel Smith and I had prepared a two-party AD&D \/ OSRIC adventure to run. Dan ran the dwarf party as they tried to protect their mountain home from the army of elves on their doorstep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a blast playing the new Star Ward miniatures game. With Rob Wubbenhorst providing cover with his X-wings, I was able to drive my Y-wings straight down the trench and bullseye the Death Star\u2019s exhaust port on my first shot. It was awesome.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For my final event I ran a very fun game of Divine Right with some first-time players, who had never played a map-and-chits game before.<\/p>\n
