Alright, party people, the events are getting posted fast and furious for Mepacon 50, this April 17-19, 2026, at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Allentown Lehigh Valley.
Since I was part of Mepacon 1 and 2, and a whole lot more as it bounced around mid-east and northeast Pennsylvania, I decided to do some of my "best of" convention games from Mepacon (and the decade of con games I ran prior to Mepacon's founding, the Antideluvian era of gaming that filled up Legions Halls, full of dollar auctions, TORG, impromptu swords fights, and a host of other things I'm not quite sure if the statute of limitations has run out.
I had set up a survey way back in November, and did get a few responses. So without further ado, here are my submitted events:
Friday
4pm - Burning Plastic "Polymers in Flames" 8+ players 4 hrs.
Burning Plastic is the miniature game using green plastic army guys for mayhem and carnage. Tanks! Explosions! Air Strikes! Lots of d6's to chuck, rulers to measure, and no worry about chipping the GM's paint job! Children under 12 welcome with a playing adult (Don't worry parents, the kids will help you with the math...)
8pm - Talislanta 2nd Edition "The Crystle Dungeon" 6 players 3hrs
The classic Fantasy RPG known for it's ads in Dragon Magazine "No Elves..." Most of the Gnome-Kin Kingdom of Durne is underground, so why is your party investigating an above-ground outpost that hasn't responded in weeks... and what happened to the first two scouting parties they sent to check it out? (Originally run March 1991 at Lehicon IV).
10am - Burning Plastic "Polymers in Flames" 8+ players 4 hrs.

| Okay, no beer at the table at the con, but it is a "beer and pretzels" game... |
2pm - My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria "Tokens of Friendship" 6 players 2hrs.
My Little Pony - Tails of Equestria (RiverHorse Press) is a role-playing game that's as magical as the power of friendship! Each session you can create your very own pony and share adventures with your friends in Ponyville, Canterlot, and beyond! Or bring back your pony from a previous session (or previous Mepacon) to play some more! Parents welcome to help their child or play alongside them.

Cthulhu comes to Springfield! Classic Simpsons characters with a healthy mix of Lovecraft Something's amiss! Krusty is giving away trips to kids? That's Unpossible! Will the parents catch on and save the wee children, or will the kids have to do it themselves?
Nothing crazy, nothing wild... simply four of my most memorable games I've run in 35+ years of GM con games.
