Finally getting around to talking about the Tampa Comic Con a few weeks ago.

The new venue was okay, though not as easily accessible as the previous one at the DoubleTree in Tampa. Finding a meeting hall in an industrial area isn't as easy as finding a hotel right off the interstate, so attendance suffered, it seemed.

This was the first event that I didn't at least pay for my table space in sales, but it wasn't all bad. I met another game inventor who is just jumping into the market. He created Dungeon Looter (www.DungeonLooter.com), a rummy-esque game in which players play matching pairs of items they might find while exploring a treasure-filled dungeon.

I picked up a game and have played quite a few rounds with my kids and wife. It's easy to learn, and accessible enough for even young players--in fact, it's my daughter's new favorite game.

At about $10 per 90-odd card deck, it's definitely worth the investment, and (like Nature Dome, www.NatureDomeGame.com) is a great way to support a worthy independent game creator.
