This Sunday I’m thankful for Trumpeter Salute.
It’s the biggest annual gaming convention in Vancouver.
Last year — 2025 — I ran a game on Saturday that I’ll talk about later.
But the games I played on Friday night and Sunday morning are why I really like local conventions.
Friday night I played in a game of Freikorps vs Communists.
It was a fun 15mm Rampant variant.
We fought the reds to a standstill. Would’ve preferred to vanquish, but alas.
Then on Sunday morning I played in one of the epic games of Wild West that has been a staple of Trumpeter meets for years, decades. Another 15mm masterpiece, running classic Boot Hill.
I got to play the Man With No Name.
The Trumpeter monthly game nights have expanded over the years to include roleplaying and board games. Hell, there’s even some HeroClix now.
So if you live in the GVRD I recommend you check Salute out come April.
