Fellow poweteers Sindra and Raistlin joined me this past weekend at the Fall ‘09 Boston Comic Con. This small convention has started getting attention and has been growing by leaps and bounds each show. Traditionally held at the Back Bay Events Center near Copley Square, the show runs twice a year, once in the Spring [...]

And, considering the [...]
