For the first time since the foundation of Blue Scar Productions, we attended a convention in a whole other country! That's right, as of April 2007, BSP has gone international! The booth was tended by Vic Dreyer (BSP Director, The Gyrath's Gate Chronicles, Tour Girls In The 23rd Century), Adam Perales & Susan Rugg (Legends of Phauroralands: Slayer's Game) and Matthew Wills (Necromechanic: The Redemption Aegis).

A fantastic time was had by all, and we've come back with a whole country's worth of good memories and good sales. Don't worry, Australia! We'll be back for more soon! Oh, and no - we didn't smuggle out a kangaroo for Murk to devour. Not yet, anyway!

Armageddon Wellington 2007
Date: April 21-22


Sorry, no pictures yet!


After the exhausting week we spent in Australia around Supanova, only three members of Blue Scar Productions made it to Wellington Armageddon this year. Adam Perales & Susan Rugg (Legends of Phauroralands: Slayer's Game) and Kylie Scollick (Solo Flame) made it down. Sorry, Wellington! We'll be back next year!

Armageddon Wellington 2006

The first Armageddon of '06 was a labour of both love and pain from start to finish. As our first convention since the departure of Alex, Vic had to learn everything the hard way and in a very short amount of time. Without a new book to release, some of our fans expressed disappointment - but we're almost universally forgiven when we mentioned that we're planning to take two of our main series colour in the next year!

For the first time... well... EVER, all the members of Blue Scar Productions bar one were at the booth together. We met up with Bethani, Matthew, and Jason along the way and down in Wellington itself. We had a great time with everyone together. Very little work was done, but... who cares!

Alas, we didn't have a nippleball to get signed this time, but that's okay - Susan brought enough comics along to get signed to drown only comic-related guest, anyway! And the most important piece of information of all... We managed to cross-dress someone in the Tour Girls uniform! Props to Vanya for being such a darn good sport!

Battlecry 2006

What can we say about Battlecry? We were one of the sponsors of the event, and it was very nice to see everyone walking around with the new Blue Scar Productions logo on their bags... but Kat and Vic almost went mad from boredom by the end of the con! Everyone else had a great time, and that's what's most important.

We also learnt to play several really fun new board games, which is always a good thing. So go check out the photos, nothing else to see here!

Armageddon Auckland 2005
Date: October 22-24

Armageddon October 2005 was held in the Aotea Centre in central Auckland. Although our booth was procured at the very last minute, and we were lodged between the toilets, it was a good convention and we enjoyed ourselves. However, we did feel that the convention was not as large as it could have been, probably thanks to its being held over a cold, drizzly Labour Weekend. Still, it was the 10th Anniversary, and it was very nice not to be trapped in the same sort of sweltering, deafening heat of the Queen's Wharf.

Along with having another Tour Girl for this convention, Blue Scar Productions unveiled its new line of black and white cover templates on the latest issue of "Tour Girls In The 23rd Century". We also released the black and white preview issues of "Legends of Phauroralands: Slayer's Game" and "The Gyrath's Gate Chronicles". We had new posters, new minions, and met some new friends along the way, and are very much looking forward to the next convention - Though, we're secretly extremely glad they're only held twice a year. Tiring!

And of course, the best part was getting to meet Michael Turner, who was feeling much better, to all of our relief! He even signed our nipple-ball for us!

Armageddon Wellington 2005

For the first time, Blue Scar Productions had its own booth! Unfortunately, when we arrived we discovered that we had more wallspace than we knew what to do with. So, Blue had to rush home and spray paint us up the psuedo-banner that we used for the weekend. Thankfully, we had enough posters and things to hide the fact that it was all a last minute job!

Though our table was naked, we managed to have a good weekend, that saw the release of the hideous first printing of "Tour Girls In The 23rd Century" #1 to go with the #0 that we still had stock of from last time. We also had several new posters - And our very first booth girl running around in costume, pimping us up!

The only down side of the entire convention was the overzealous DJ on the radio, that kept creeping the volume of the speaker above our head up so high that we all ended up with a horrible, pounding headache by the end of the day. Luckily for everyone, Bill is an angel sent from heaven, and managed to save us from the loud tunes! Thank you to everyone who signed our get well soon card for Michael Turner - He let us know at the Auckland convention that he'd recieved the card, and loved it. It's sitting on his mantle.

Armageddon Wellington 2004
Date: September 25-26


Lacking photos, we have this awesome fanart from Robbie Neilson!

Our very first convention! We were stuck in with the other black and white comic artists, but we managed to... commandeer a table almost entirely to ourselves, to showcase the release of our first book - "Tour Girls In The 23rd Century" #0. Though we ended up sharing our booth in the end, the guys we ended up sharing with were absolutely fantastic. So, this is a shout out to Grant Buist ("Brunswick") and Robbie Neilson ("MAN" comics), for being generally awesome boothmates... despite the fact we hogged the table and stuck them both in a corner!

I don't think they minded terribly much. Funny, that.
