Cosplay (コスプレ , kosupure ) , a contraction of the words costume play, is a hobby in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character.
 Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture, and a broader use of the term "cosplay" applies to any costumed role-playing in venues apart from the stage.
 Any entity that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject and it is not unusual to see genders switched.
 Favorite sources include anime, cartoons, comic books, live-action films, television series and video games.
Ral Partha Enterprises, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio produces miniature figures in 25 mm, 30 mm, 15 mm, and 54 mm scale.
 The company was founded in 1975 and is now a division of Iron Wind Metals, LLC, a company created in 2001 around Ral Partha's manufacturing capacities.
 The company's products are made by spin-casting metal alloys which depict soldiers, adventurers and creatures that have been inspired by history and fiction.
 Their miniatures are sold at gaming conventions, in hobby shops, and by internet and mail order for use in role playing games, wargaming, dioramas, competitive painting, and collecting.
 The company began as a basement enterprise undertaken by a group of wargamers around the talents of Tom Meier, a 16-year-old sculptor.
 The company grew with the increasing popularity of board and role-playing games.
 By 1982 Ral Partha products were sold worldwide.
 Ral Partha is best known for its historical figures, "Fantasy Collector's" series, and miniatures produced for TSR, Inc.'s "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" and FASA's "BattleTech" games.

Fandemonium is one of southwest Idaho's sci-fi, anime, and gaming conventions, created to bring multi-genre conventions to Idaho.
 Held annually in Nampa, Idaho at the Nampa Civic Center, the convention takes place during the first full weekend of August.

Telengard is a 1982 role-playing dungeon crawler video game developed by Daniel Lawrence and published by Avalon Hill.
 The player explores a dungeon, fights monsters with magic, and avoids traps in real time without any set mission other than surviving.
 Lawrence first wrote the game as "DND", a 1976 version of "Dungeons & Dragons" for the DECsystem-10 mainframe computer.
 He continued to develop "DND" at Purdue University as a hobby, rewrote the game for the Commodore PET 2001 after 1978, and ported it to Apple II+, TRS-80, and Atari 800 platforms before Avalon Hill found the game at a convention and licensed it for distribution.
 Its Commodore 64 release was the most popular.
 Reviewers noted "Telengard"'s similarity to "Dungeons and Dragons".
 RPG historian Shannon Appelcline noted the game as one of the first professionally produced computer role-playing games, and "Gamasutra"'s Barton considered "Telengard" consequential in what he deemed "The Silver Age" of computer role-playing games preceding the golden age of the late 1980s.
 Some of the game's dungeon features, such as altars, fountains, teleportation cubes, and thrones, were adopted by later games such as "Tunnels of Doom".
