West Coast Young Bloods

by Philip J. Viverito

Homeric Hack will be presented at Fall Campaign in Altadena, California on October 16, 2004. The battle of Thicket Ridge and the Trojan Horse enters the city. Marcelo Figueroa has set up an educational demonstration for youngsters at a local school with Viverito as GM. This demo game will hopefully inspire new blood to develop an interest not just in gaming but also history. Getting new and especially young bloods interested in history is one of the goals not just of Viverito but also LMW Works which publishes many of his educational games. Atlanta Kids Hacking Away at Warfair June 2004 While Viverito has always encouraged younger gainers to play in his demos at various conventions. This last year has seen ageneral increase in younger gainers participating. At Warfair there were about 8 young bloods. Homeric Hack, like Classical Hack is so easy and fast to play that after a few turns the kids were Hacking away with little assistance from Viverito. Origins showed a similar turn out of youths. "It is no longer an old man's sport," Viverito commented. At Fall Campaign numerous period games will be hosted. Many popular. games including ACW, and Marcelo's Pirates of The Spanish Maine as well as other more Modern Conflicts.
