It’s almost time for ICON again! This year it’s almost a month earlier than normal, that because Raymond E. Fiest will be attending and it’s been moved to fit his schedule!!! As you can tell, I’m excited…

So much to do this weekend…
So I was looking at my calendar and this weekend is full of stuff to do. While not everything is 100% gaming related there will be games for sale at most places and there should be some decent show specials.
Event: ICON by the Sea
I grew up in Durban, as a gamer, the lack of gaming events was noted. All through high school, the few times I could meet with friends to play Magic was something worth waiting for. When we discovered sanctioned games, which were scarce in the ’90’s, it was a whole new world. In comparison, the first Con’ that we went to, Oubliette, was a whole other universe.
Gaming was scarce in Durban. I’m sad to say that is still the case but, it is however changing. I recently discovered that ICON, SA’s biggest table top gaming Con, was going to Durban. I thought that I would investigate.
Event: Hobby-X March 2015
Hobby-x is a hobby expo held 4 times a year in South Africa. JHB has 2 events a year and DBN and CTN one each.
While it does not cover the whole range of hobbies available in SA, it’s rather exhaustive- you would need more than the three days that it runs to go to all the demos’ and workshops. Even if you were just browsing, you would still need a whole day just to look around.
