smithers456 angelmage99 smithers456 One strange and interesting event was live Cosplay Shougi Chess. A room was set up as a Chess board and each square had another room for a Cosplayer. When a Cosplayer attacked another one. The attacker user their characters abilities. The defender did the same. Their was two people who ran the different sides of the game and the host would ask why a character died. Some characters even came back to life. All of the rules of the game were followed. It was so cool to watch. Youmacon usually plays this game at their cons. When the game ended it gave me a chance to take photos of the players. I've never seen shogi done, just regular chess. That's pretty cool. Actually Shougi Chess is much older than regular chess and their some different pieces like General, Emperor (if I remember it right) and Most of the basic moves are the same. The rules are a bit different though. It's based on a version of Japanese chess. Check the rules out online!!. Know what's older than both of them: Go. I know a bit of those rules, but shogi is something I haven't studied to play yet.

It would have to be a downgraded version. Otherwise you'd need way too many people and it would be hard to put on.

Could do a smaller version of the playing field, I'm sure that it would be easy enough to pick two teams.

I don't think I ever posted to this thread. Well? I'll do so now!
First, allegedly at Katsucon several years ago, there was a grouping of Attack on Titan cosplayers on the gazebo level(people who have been to Katsu know of what I speak(BURN THE FALSE GOD)), when all of a sudden, this Ereh Jaeger cosplayer runs toward the gazebo, then at the last second, sidesteps it and jumps over the railing to the level below, landing on top of a table and breaking it. I don't know if this REALLY happened., but a friend of mine said he saw it, so... *shrug*
Then there was this Spider Man cosplayer who climbed a cable attaching the awning on the Hampton Roads Convention Center to the ground* and got kicked out of the con and banned from the premises...
(*Google pictures of it, you'll see what I mean.)

(*Google pictures of it, you'll see what I mean.) Hi Onsen nice to see you and thanks for posting. At my first convention back in 2009 my brother and I joined a group where they had a big book and each person had to do something that was in it. My brother and I left when the other members of the group wanted to do dangerous stunts elsewhere on the convention grounds. Sometimes Cosplayers take their characters too seriously and literally risk life and limb. That can happen with D&D LARP groups too.

The Spiderman cosplayer reminds me of all the Assassin's Creed cosplayers spotted in odd spots.

Also. You're an East Coast Cosplayer right? Would you help me out with getting info together in the Northeast Conventions. I'm looking to make info about pros and con's about each con. Like if the staff of the convention did a no-no or if they brought positivity to the con.

I can help a bit when I can find time -- things right now are making my head spin some, but I can help when I can.

I can help a bit when I can find time -- things right now are making my head spin some, but I can help when I can. I just mainly need opinions. Part of the thread will include what people think of each con as well as any things of noteworthy about them. Like 'they did a good job reacting to X' or 'recently they said X which is causing problems within the community'.
