Chair of the event Jay Waddick, a DSC student, said the goal of Falcon Con is to reach out and form a more constructed community of anime and gaming fans in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d be surprised at how many people you talk to and you find out that they\u2019re Pok\u00e9mon fans or anime fans or Magic fans when you would never think so. This is our attempt to unify the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the main events were demonstrations by the Indie Game Alliance, which provided an area for convention goers to test out prototype card games and leave feedback for the creators. There was also a large selection of games for guests to take to their tables and play.<\/p>\n
Other events included a Magic: The Gathering tournament, an anime screening room, a cosplay (EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS) contest and\u00a0 steampunk themed live-action-role-play or LARP escape room, where a group of six had 20 minutes to search the room for clues and solve puzzles to escape before a masked villain stormed the area. Groups were awarded miscellaneous prizes for escaping the room or fulfilling special objectives.<\/p>\n
Professional cosplayers Rick Stafford \u201cThe True Aquaman\u201d and Rose Piercy \u201cThe True Mera\u201d were special guests at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up in the Daytona Beach area. I actually came here to DSC, got my A.A. degree before going on to my many other accolades in education. This is one of my alma maters so I thought I\u2019d come back and be part of Falcon Con,\u201d said Stafford. NAME SOME OF THE *ACCOLADES*<\/p>\n
He and Piercy announced the winners of the cosplay contest.<\/p>\n
Waddick said this year\u2019s turnout pulled in more than 100 attendees and organizers are already in the process of turning in the paperwork for next year\u2019s Falcon Con. He says he hopes to organize more events like it throughout the year as well.<\/p>\n
The Tabletop Gaming Club currently meets every Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Lenholt Center\/Cafeteria Building 130.<\/p>\n
