Event Registration Open and Dealers Welcome
Friday, May 08, 2009 9:42 AM by atom
We opened both event registration and dealer registration this morning. If you'd like to run a game at OshCon 2009, make sure to hit the Be a Gamemaster page, read the terms and fill out the form. It'll send us an email and we'll then enter it into the event schedule database. Remember, if you run four or more hours of games, your badge is free.

Also, dealers can now sign up for tables. If you're a dealer and you're interested, hit the Dealer Info page and check it out.

2008 Photos and 2009 Date
Friday, January 23, 2009 11:07 AM by atom
It's been a little quiet around here, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the photos from our very successful OshCon 2008 are now available. Take a look over at the right column of the page for the link. It was a great convention, our biggest yet at 186 participants, and we had lots of vendors and events and even door prizes. Look for more of the same next year.

And speaking of next year (which is now actually this year) the date for OshCon 2009 is now official! October 10-11, 2009 at the Gruenhagen Conference Center on the UW-Oshkosh campus. We'll be opening up vendor registration in a few months and event registration after that, so keep an eye on the site and we'll see you in October.

Last Minute Notes and Official T-shirts!

Just some quick notes before the convention: Your best bet for directions to OshCon 2008 would be the Directions page on the OshCon website. There you'll find the address for the facility (if you were going to put it into a GPS in your vehicle, perhaps) and a link to the facility with Google Maps. You'll also find a map showing where to enter the Gruenhagen Conference Center and which parking lots it's okay for you to park in. Parking in either Lot 6, 10, or 30 does not require a parking pass during the weekends. NOTE: Make sure to read about the bridge construction near campus and how that may impact your travel plans.

Also, we'll be selling limited edition Official OshCon t-shirts for the first time at this year's convention. They'll be only $12 and available from the Guardtroll Ts booth at OshCon. Take a look at the Merchandise page for more information and scope out the design. We'll see you there!

Less Than Two Weeks Away and Email Glitch
Monday, September 29, 2008 3:15 PM by atom
OshCon 2008 is less than two weeks away! Event slots are filling up fast so if you're a gamemaster wanting to run an event, make sure to hit the Be a Gamemaster page and enter your event or events. Remember, GMs only need to run four hours of games to qualify for a free Gamemaster badge. Sign up before the end of Monday, October 6th if you want your event to be in the printed program on-site.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The server company that hosts the OshCon site had a failure over the weekend, and it caused an email problem that blocked all incoming OshCon email. If you tried to email us or enter an event through the web site since Friday the 26th, please try again. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Lastly, keep an eye on the OshCon site for the unveiling of our limited edition OshCon t-shirt design. It will only be available at the convention, but you'll be able to see it here first.

Only Three Weeks Left!

OshCon 2008 is only a mere three weeks away and events are still coming in. If you want to run an event and want to run it at a specific time, you'd better go to the Be a GM page soon and get your event entered before table slots at certain times fill up. And, if you want your event to be in the printed program, make sure you have it in by Monday, October 6th.

Also, if you'd like to help spread the good OshCon word, feel free to download the OshCon 2008 flyer PDF and print out a few for your neck of the woods. More gamers attending equals more fun!
