The inaugural Chaosium Con Australia is over: here's some sights and scenes

Chaosium Con Australia is over and was by all accounts a great success: thank you to everyone who joined us at Moonee Valley Racing Club in Melbourne, Australia last weekend! It was a very convivial gathering of the tribe, with many friends old and new!

We would especially like to thank the energetic and cheerful Cult of Chaos volunteers who GMed games and assisted with the running of the con: we couldn't have done it without you!

We had many attendees asking if we would do it again next year; and that's something we're definitely going to consider. In the mean time soon we'll be sending out a survey to find out the things you liked about the con, the things we could do better, and what you might like to see next year.

Thanks from all the Australian team at Chaosium - Andrew, Brian, David, Jim, Lance, Lucie, MOB, and Susan.
