Cold Wars 2008 March 6, 2008

Braving gale force winds and snow hip deep to a moose, Cold Wars 2007 is over . . .
but its not a bit too early to be thinking about Cold Wars 2008 where our theme will be the Golden Age of Piracy. Call them privateers, buccaneers, kapers or corsairs, the image of the pirate has entered a glorious mythology that has entranced fans for decades and filled the money chests of Hollywood with bountiful plunder. The real truth about these sea faring cutthroats is likely somewhere in between, as many a merchant ship's captain would tell you were he alive to tell the tail. But whether you prefer the historical portrait of Blackbeard, Emanuel Wynn or perhaps the Rolling Stones adaption found in Johhny Depp's incomparable portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, this convention will have just the gaming folks are looking for. Sound like a high seas adventure you can get into? Well first why not read all about piracy from the Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia. And while you're there, click on an appropriate hyperlink to check out a few biographies of some of the most deranged seaborne scaliwags this side of a 20 pound carronade. Then sharpen your cutless, down that last bit of grog and set sail for the port of Lancaster, PA and Cold Wars 2008 - the Golden Age of Piracy , 7 thru 9 March 2008.
