I myself cosplay at <a title=\"Click to visit Origins Game Fair at their official web site!\" href=\"http:\/\/originsgamefair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Origins Game Fair<\/a>, usually a different theme on each day.

I\u2019ve cosplayed and dressed up since I was little, over the years I have cosplayed as a fairy, princesses, a Jedi, a ninja, <a title=\"Princess Leia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.starwars.com\/databank\/leia-organa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princess Leia<\/a>, a <a title=\"Scout Trooper\" href=\"https:\/\/www.starwars.com\/databank\/scout-troopers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scout Trooper<\/a>, a knight in training, an army pilot, and this past year, the <a title=\"Wicked Witch of the West\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1623205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Witch from The Great and Powerful OZ<\/a>, and <a title=\"Levi from Attack on Titan\" href=\"http:\/\/attackontitan.wikia.com\/wiki\/Levi_Ackerman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Levi from Attack on Titan<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\">One of my fondest memories from cosplaying was when I was 6. I was dressed up in a pink princess dress and I had fairy wings on. My father was in a suit of shining armor and we were in a small alcove at the convention where they had foam swords, both my father and I picked up foam swords and were playing around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Dartth Vader vs Obi Wan Kenobi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.starwars.com\/films\/star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11948 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2017-Origins-Eva_Vader-and-Kenobi-224x192.jpg\" alt=\"Vader and Kenobi lightsaber battle\" width=\"320\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2017-Origins-Eva_Vader-and-Kenobi-224x192.jpg 224w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2017-Origins-Eva_Vader-and-Kenobi-320x274.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2017-Origins-Eva_Vader-and-Kenobi-400x343.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2017-Origins-Eva_Vader-and-Kenobi.jpg 947w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\">A tiny fairy princess running around fending off the mean knight.

Its amazing what people are able to draw and paint. It\u2019s quite extraordinary to see the amount of work put into a single miniature, painting, sculpture, or drawing. Paint n\u2019 Take is a great set up where you can just sit and paint miniatures, and there is also the painting contests and speed painting contests which is also an enjoyable activity at Origins. <a title=\"Reaper Miniatures\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reapermini.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reaper<\/a>, a miniature company always has great miniatures for sale whether it be for <a title=\"Dungeons and Dragons\" href=\"http:\/\/dnd.wizards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dungeons and Dragons<\/a> or <a title=\"Pathfinder Game\" href=\"http:\/\/paizo.com\/pathfinder\/rpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathfinder<\/a>, its there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\">If you have miniatures of your own that you have painted you can enter them into a miniature contest!

I\u2019d be lying if I said that the companies there don\u2019t have great games. Whether it be table top, card games, virtual reality, or RPG games, it\u2019s all there. I\u2019ve done demos of quite a few games from quite a few game companies. <a title=\"Malifaux from Wyrd Games\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wyrd-games.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Malifaux, Puppet Wars Unstitched, and Darkness come Rattling all from Wyrd games<\/a>, and Mice and Mystics from Plaid Hat games are a few of the games I have demoed. All of them were great to play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\">Some virtual reality gaming my family and I love is what we call the Pods. <a title=\"BattleTech Pods\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mechjock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pods are a virtual reality set up, a cockpit you sit in<\/a> (even closing the outside door), revolving around <a title=\"BattleTech\" href=\"https:\/\/www.battletech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BattleTech<\/a>. You choose your own mech light, medium, heavy, or assault, based upon weight classes. Each mech has its own positives and negatives. Typically for me it comes down to preference. I myself typically go with an assault mech, either an Atlas or a Behemoth. There&#8217;s even a real dungeon game for people to LARP (Live Action Role Play) in called <a title=\"True Dungeon\" href=\"http:\/\/truedungeon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">True Dungeon<\/a>!<a title=\"True Dungeon at Origins\" href=\"http:\/\/truedungeon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11959 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/True-Dungeon-at-Origins-256x192.jpg\" alt=\"True Dungeon at Origins\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/True-Dungeon-at-Origins-256x192.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/True-Dungeon-at-Origins-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/True-Dungeon-at-Origins-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\">Overall Origins is a great convention to go to and I always enjoy attending.
