We've been supersized! The cosplay games have now moved to the main stage at Armageddon. We're also helping out at Dunedin - not sure exactly what we're doing, but plans are afoot.

If anyone has any suggestions for what else we can feature at the games here is the place to suggest them: or you can PM me.

Cheers :)
