Due to the all but complete lack of Australian conventions on the Wikipedia Gaming convention page (only 1 convention listed), I have added all the other roleplaying conventions in Australia I know of (another 14).

Only question is, does CanCon actually have any role playing games these days? And if not, should it be listed as an RPG con? I know in the past it was one of the big RPG cons in Australia, but not in recent years.

Continuing the superhero theme…

The weird things you came across when randomly browsing through Wikipedia. This can go in the list of Wikipedia pages that you probably don’t need to read:

N screenshotHaving a bit of a read/edit of wikipedia today and found N.

More than just a letter, ‘N’ is a Load Runner esk game written in Flash. With 3 keys you control a ninja, running, jumping and climbing your way around each level.

Ninjas have a “god-like speed, dexterity, jumping power, and reflexes“, unfortunately due this being being the result of a ultra fast metabolism the ninjas life spans are much shorter. 90 seconds to be exact.

In these 90 seconds your ninja must dodge mines, turrets, lasers and drones; flick switches, open doors and the exit; and collect gold. Through the 5 levels of an episode. Due to the “sickeningly materialistic attitude” of the ninja, each piece of gold collected adds 2 seconds to their life.

An interesting game. Looks simple, but it is quite hard.
