Aged Dice at Gaelcon 38

The last convention of the year and one we did not expect to get into due to such short notice. However the folks who run Gaelcon managed to not only get us in but to sort us out with a great table and location.

The convention started off on Saturday with an early set up and final checks before the doors opened. This was a prime opportunity to sneak off for a peek at the rest of the convention stalls and to grab a coffee or three. 

By 10am the doors opened and attendees started enter the main hall. 

It did not take long before our table became busy with people stopping by for chats and info on who we are and what stellar edge was. Before long our first demo games started and kept going throughout the day. 

Overall the day was a big success as not only did we have adults enjoying the game of all ages but kids too. I really did not expect how much the kids who played a demo would enjoy the game and even more surprised at how amazingly quickly they took to the game rules.  

This of course gave me consistent flashbacks to when I was a kid attending Gaelcon with my brother, stopping by demo tables and stalls and being completely struck by all the great aspects of this hobby. . . though Gaelcon was also were I was introduced to classic BattleTech and lets just say 25+ years later I am still picking up the odd mech.

before long it was twenty to six on Saturday evening and the announcement of the hall closing for the day was very charismatically shouted across the room with the vigour of an old Norse god.

Sunday.

Sunday started a bit easier as the Demo table and display could be left set up from the day prior, this meant more time for coffee and not as much an early start. 

The day itself started at 10am with a quieter build up, this however was just to lull the demo teams and exhibitors into a falls sense of security as the attendees started to amass in greater numbers by noon. 

The demo table yet again was kept quite busy with many fantastic people dropping by for a chat and to try their hand at Stellar Edge. 

Our display which was packed with our miniature range also went down a treat with many expressing interest in the miniatures. 

Over all the convention was a great experience and only our second since the launch of Stellar edge earlier this year.

We are very much looking forward to attending Gaelcon 39 next year! and to all those who organised/volunteered and attended, we thank you!
