OdysseyCon would like to especially thank its generous 
sponsors at Columbia Games who provided over $100 in 
games and accessories to our giveaway prize program. 

Columbia Games makes great role-playing supplements 
for D&D's new d20 system and their block army strategy 
game, Wizard Kings, was a big hit at the convention. 

Cal Stengel and Grant Dalgliesh are the folks in the 
know at Columbia Games and they helped make the whole 
prize thing possible. Check out their site at:

The journey to new worlds has taken off!  In Harlan, KY, on May 5th, Odyssey Con 2001 blasted off a pop culture celebration of science fiction, fantasy, comics, toys, gaming and all the related genres of excitement, entertainment and enlightenment that makes our planet a more interesting and extraordinary place.  And by all accounts of those who attended, it was a successful beginning and a sign of greater things to come.
A big thanks goes out to all those who made it possible, and especially for the exceptional efforts of John Middleton, Bud Smith, Mike Collins, George Wren, Daron Patton and all those who helped out.
And a special thanks to our guest speaker, Harlan author of "Hey, It Could Happen",
Mark L. Ford, who gave a very interesting and entertaining talk to the crowd and added immeasurably to the quality of our get-together.
From the many hours of Warhammer battles and the Magic the Gathering Tournament to the great talent displayed by the Art Contest and model builders and the guys who dressed in costume, everyone added to a good time and a good momentum for next year.  If you missed out this time, don't let it happen again, but we'll be good to you anyway and let you take a peek at some of what you missed:
