I was wondering whether to write this post as it is an answer to another article that was published in Polish. Yet considering that many of my readers are from Poland I decided that it makes sense. So here it is – a couple of my thoughts.
Krakówò Zimōwō – hic sunt dracones
It was a very unusual convention for me. Krakówò Zimōwō was a furry con and not being a fury myself, I didn’t know what to expect yet I was curious.
Zjava 13 – a gaming convention where I didn’t play
My convention season opening for 2024 was Zjava 13 – a winter con run by the Avangarda society in Warsaw. It was a gaming con but somehow I didn’t play any game. Instead I had a great time – mainly through meeting people.

2023 A Lazy Year?
When I look at my blog I have an impression it was a lazy year. But was it really? I don’t think so. At least I don’t feel like I got a lot of rest and time to be lazy. Yet what I see is that certain things did not go as efficiently as I would love them to. One of them being the blog itself.
Nordcon XXXVI – Fantasy & RPG theme plus the winter sea
I usually close my convention year with Nordcon. It takes place in the beginning of December in the north of Poland. 2023 is no different. I attended Nordcon XXXVI and it was a good closure of the year despite the fact that the con stared in a bit hard way for me.

Imladris XXI – An Excellent Weekend
Some days are bad and some are good. The weekend of Imladris XXI was definitely in the latter category. The convention felt exactly as it should. It was a good mixture of programme and socializing. I didn’t know what I needed before the con but during it I understood that I am in a right place.
Octocon 2023 And My Busy Weekend
It was my fourth virtual Octocon! And again I regretted that I was not able to join the convention in person. Yet I still managed to enjoy those two days.
Kapitularz Polconem – convention I needed
I was in a bad mood. Or at least not in the best mood. I was exhausted and there were moments when I felt like “why am I even going?” And Kapitularz Polconem changed my approach. It was a convention I needed!

Konflikt – Eurocon with An Astounding Venue
After visiting Swecon in 2016 I was hoping to go to a Swedish convention once more. Konflikt Eurocon in Uppsala this year was a great opportunity to do so. I like Eurocons and I appreciate how they tend to differ each year. In a way I was curious how a Swedish Eurocon would look like (as I missed the opportunity to visit it in 2011).

20 years of Magnificon
The first Magnificon back in 2003 was one of my first conventions. Although I am not attending manga cons any more I thought that the anniversary would make a good reason to come. Similarly to 2018 I had some mixed feelings but let’s go there step by step.
