Homebrew Carts and Coin-Ops - Phillyclassic 5

Posted by timothy on from the a-few-hours-left dept.

Jason Scott writes "I've put up my gallery of images from Phillyclassic 5, taken on Saturday, March 20th (and posted that night). Phillyclassic is a large classic games convention being held in King of Prussia, PA. They have a very informative webpage with details... I drove 600 miles in one day to stop in, and it was worth it. Homebrew carts for sale, lots of free arcade games to play, and all manner of vendors and characters. The convention's not over, either.. it lasts throughout Sunday the 21st, so if you didn't know about it, get down there! If you're nearby, you have no excuse!"

    What, you mean, like with robot arms moving the pieces and stuff? Yeah, that'd be cool. :)

    As in, dice, cardboard, playing cards, and big, smelly dorks bragging about their 20th-level Elder Dwarf Mage.

    Actual exchange between a friend of mine and the squeaky-voiced game dork DM at a D&D table at a con many years ago:

    GameDork: I have all black dice. Black like my soul.
    MyFriend: Black like your stool?
    GD: soul! I said black like my soul! MF: Geez, sorry. It sounded like you said "stool".
