Unspeakable Horrors at Collector’s Connection; Warfare at DragonPort

David Beard Aug 20, 2011 5 Comments

I spent Friday night playing Munchkin Cthulhu at Collector’s Connection near the Mall.

Jason and Clare and Lisa were Munchkin veterans, while Katherine (age 10), Kate, Rachel and I were newbies. Katherine drew the card to face the Great Cthulhu in the first round and became a cultist.

The choice of game was accidentally very appropriate, as yesterday was H. P. Lovecraft’s birthday.

“HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT (20 August 1890-15 March 1937) is probably best known as a writer of weird fiction, but some believe his voluminous correspondence to be his greatest accomplishment.”

It was a great evening, mostly because the rule of the night, for most of the game, was “Keep Rachel from Winning.” We did that, successfully, until the shop closed at 8. Then a few of us went to Bridgeman’s for a cone.

…

Gaming thrives in Duluth lately. At DragonPort, Warhammer tournaments are running this weekend.

All in all, it’s a good time to game in the Twin Ports.

Although not a gamer anymore, I support these local businesses whenever I can with my comic book and graphic novel dollar - just bought something off the shelf from Dragon Port the other day that no one else in town had. But both local comix/gaming businesses could have more of my dollars if ordering things thru them was easy and reliable... this is not a bash but a plea ... I realize there are incredible hassles with comix distributors that small businesses have to go thru ... understanding that, I pour a stream of money into graphic novels and comix and it has been difficult to get that money into the hands of these local comix shops. I'm glad the gaming is lucrative for them and urge fellow nerds to support them.
