Back home tired but delighted after a wonderful 4-days trip to Zaragoza to attend the top notch Batalladores 2025 convention masterfully organized by @clubbatallador.bsky.social
So impressed, and not a little jealous, by the super dynamic ConSim community in Spain.

Hi! @fredserval.bsky.social and @joedewhurst.bsky.social have hosted Consim Game Jams, each with a different design constraint challenge. Is this what you have in mind?

Overall, a wonderful experience! I knew the Spanish ConSim scene was vibrant, I had no idea just how big and organized it is! With some 350 participants (all of them wargamers!), it may well be the largest ConSim con in the world! Certainly one of the best! Thank you all, and hasta luego!

For @sdhistcon.bsky.social I am hosting a panel of innovative consim designers from Spain. Spain has become a huge force in historical gaming, and I am excited to discuss perspectives with some of the leaders in this emerging pillar of our hobby. Check out tabletop.events/conventions/...

The term “consim” has been used for decades as an alternative to wargame for just those reasons. (consim-l, consimworld, etc.) Never really took over. These days I like History Games.
