A Little Over a Week Away

OshCon 2011 is just a little over a week away. If you're a gamemaster and you haven't entered your events yet, you don't have much time! Head to the Be a Gamemaster page and sign up. Space is getting limited.

Also, the new OshCon 2011 official t-shirt design is finished, but it's not ready to show off yet. Check back next week to get a sneak peek.

 
 

Event and Dealer Form Errors
Tuesday, August 30, 2011 9:59 AM by atom
Due to an overzealous piece of spam-fighting code in the OshCon website, some gamemaster and dealer entry forms entered on the website were not getting to us here at OshCon Headquarters. This issue has been fixed, but if you are a dealer and you signed up for a table at the event and don't see your company name over on the right side of the Dealer page, please re-submit the dealer form, as space is running out. If you have signed up to run an event and you don't see it in the event schedule, please re-submit the events to the gamemaster form and I'll get them in ASAP. Also, if you haven't submitted an event yet for OshCon 2011, no is the time to do so before time slots become filled.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and we look forward to seeing you at the convention.

 
 

2011 Events Picking Up and 40k Tourney News
Friday, August 26, 2011 10:24 AM by atom
There has been a flurry of activity on the OshCon 2011 schedule in the last week. The Green Apple Board Gamers group has stepped up and they'll be running a bunch of boardgames, so take a look at what they have to offer. Also, gamemasters might really want to start thinking about getting their own game listing in here sooner versus later, especially if there's a certain time you want.

Also, Warhammer 40,000 fans: this year we'll be hosting a Warhammer 40,000 Combat Patrol tournament on Sunday, sponsored by Chimera Hobby Shop! Combat Patrol is a special set of army construction rules that only allows you to field 400 points of miniatures, so the games are quick and deadly. If you're a '40k' player, look into getting 400 points together (check the event description for construction rules) and we'll see you Sunday.
