Apocalypticon, PolyCon XVII, came and destroyed the world over and over again on June 25-27, 1999. For over fifty-one hours, two hundred gamers brought about, saved, and lived through the end of dozens of different worlds, until finally at 3:00 PM on Sunday it all drew to a close.       Despite the destruction, the convention was a great success with an increase in practically everything: attendance, games, events, and even dealers. Games People Play, a local game store, joined KJG Games, Flying Buffalo, and John Gaffney as our fourth dealer. Seminars returned to PolyCon with our Game Designers Panel, How to Run PolyCon, and LARP seminars. And a new game company was in attendance. Dark Age Games showed up this year to demonstrate their LARP, Cyberworld. Many thanks to all the new participants at PolyCon this year.       From noon at Friday on, attendees were greeted by a giant stuffed dragon that guarded PolyCon's door. From then on, convention goers participated in the countless games, LARPs, tournaments, and events that PolyCon XVII had to offer. In this year's main Live Action Roleplaying Game, over twenty-five gamers descended upon a secret base in Antartica to bring about the destruction or save the world. In the ADnD tournament countless gamers fought against strange Orcs and magics to save their world. In the Deadlands: Hell on Earth tournament, futuristic warriors toured Disneyland: Hell on Earth Style. And in the ADnD double blind game, Evil triumphed over Good.       Thank you to everyone who helped and participated in PolyCon XVII. Despite the fact that the world ended multiple times over, it was one of the best yet. I hope that everyone will return next year for PolyCon XVIII, PirateCon, on June 23-25, 2000.      Thank You      Joe Parzanese
