UBCon 1994 - Buffalo, New York

Continuing the process of cleaning up the office and the gaming collection.  This little gem fell out of something, and since I can't find it referenced previously, it deserves a spot for nostalgia.  


 UBCon '94, April 1994, Buffalo New York.  My friend Wooly (left) and a much younger (30 years!) and much slimmer me, being attacked by the Godzilla figure we brought for some of our games of Burning Plastic.  

There was a streak of UBCons we attended in the mid-90s, thanks to Larry Sims and Optimus Design Systems (Battlelords of the 23rd Century) putting us on the con mailing list.   I can't remember if this is the con we transported underage people to Canada, other members of our group ended up in dog collars, or the one we accidently whipped our friend Scott in the junk with the buckle portion of a belt.  All of them involved Wooly and I running some iteration of Burning Plastic, the sci-fi rules set another friend wrote up, using Green Army Men as killer robots.  

Hell, the five-hour road trips up to Buffalo and back were epic in their own way, and that's with the large Elmo as our traveling companion. 

With Phil and Scott (and Elmo) for UBCon '96.  The Belt incident happened then.
