Search for the Ark - TSATF adventure game at RECON 2014
One of my favorite periods is colonials, and specifically my favorite rules set is "The Sword And The Flame. There were a total of three TSATF games on Saturday. Nick Zizo ran his great
"Search for the Ark" game Saturday morning. There was action, adventure, negotiations galore, and of course Eastern treachery. The central powers jockeyed for position and possession of the Ark of the Covenant. The Dervish commander played the central powers against each other, promising each one that he would deliver the Ark of the Covenant to them alone. But in the end all he delivered was treachery and death. Bill Hogan the Dervish commander was in hie element in this game and played his role stupendously. Then Bill Hogan ran his exciting French and Indian Wars game, "Dawn Raid in the Mohawk Valley" the very next session.

Jeff -- great job posting your pics from the con, including the "word balloon"!!! I still haven't done that one yet, need to go re-read Dan's email and figure out how it's done! Speaking of Dan, his TSATF fire cones do look good in action!

Ethan, Good to hear from you. Yeah Danno has motivated us to explore our Mac options...it's kind of fun to annotate the photos. I really do like Danno's game markers. They're very useful and look cool.
