Game on AppleCon!
A Day of 2E AD&D February 17th 2019 we filled The Coffee Joint in Cornish Maine to roll some dice and have some adventures. The coffee and tea were hot and the gaming was epic!

Finding venues and more
Venue Today I visited The Inn at Cornish and had a tour of the venue and the inn. It is the PERFECT venue for AppleCon Maine, the only question is if it can fit into our budget. The year-one budget is always a mystery and remarkably tight, but the Inn has everything we want. Space, accessibility, location, and amenities. We are waiting for the inn to put together a package quote for us, we are determined to make it work. In Other News The lovely Ms. Diamond DeVille has agreed to join us at Apple Con 2019! She is well known around New England as a burlesque…
