I know what you mean, and it is very small beginnings, but it was a convention in the sense that we brought together different communities for the first time: Russian and English-speaking gamers, hardcore rpg players and occasional players / boardgamers, students and working people. Now we're hoping to continue to build on those connections throughout the year, and have a bigger event in 2018.

This is how it's done people! You don't get 10K showing up at your first convention (nor would you want to!) - you start small and you build.

Congrats on your first con! It looks like it was fun.

Those are some really cool and encouraging statistics! Maybe we should at least *aim* for 100 people next year...

Keep us updated before the next one and maybe some of us could come join

Eight people showed up to game at this convention, and two games were run at it. There was a Dragon Age RPG session that was run in English and a game of Numenera that was run in Russian.

Might have to go there. I have been wanting to try Dragon Age at a con for years <looks disapprovingly at Origins>.

How very cool. Wherever you go in the world, games and gaming increasingly provides a universal connection.

Tangentially, I'm reminded of the last time I was in the Caribbean. A guy saw my tattoo of the holy symbol of Moradin and started telling me about his 8th level ranger. Some things don’t change no matter where you are.

You might want to directly reply to those you directly reply to, so as to avoid confusion.

I had thought that Kazakhstan was in Eastern Europe, before looking it up for this article. Of course, the maps of that part of the world have changed a few times since I was in high school.

Really awesome! My few interactions with Kazakhstanis have always been positive. I've been wanting to visit for years due to the space launches and now I have another great reason to go!
