I've been refreshing our events at Historicon 2025 gleefully watching the Stout Gnomes' events sell out, when the system finally kicked me out. Upon logging in again, I noticed a familiar play on an old con.
Dexlite 2025 is July 3-6 in Morristown, NJ. It's a scaled down version of the massive and trend-setting Dexcons run by Double Exposure. It's definitely smaller than the extravaganzas I'm familiar with, but it's the only I know where you can play D&D, Battletech, and Regional Qualifiers for the the official Bicycle Playing Cards National Championship for Euchre and Spades.
I was doing some searching to discover why the con is "Lite" now, as well as the Nexus event standing, but I finally discovered it.
I had mentioned the "Macrotures" for OGRE and Star Wars in my "Hot Dog Advice" post from last August. I barely could find the OGRE pictures, but the Star Wars came up empty.
Finding the Double Exposure Archives, I found some of the pictures.
These were massive Capital Ships, with smaller ship dogfighting.
I learned two things from the archives:
1) The game had over 100 ships!
2) The game was co-produced by Sci-Fi Supply out of Florida. I loved their stuff, particularly their sci-fi passageways which were great for Aliens-inspired games... or Legions of Steel. The notes say they closed up shop after the owner got a job... at LucasFilms. I can see why.
