Luis -

I have passed your inquiry on to the coordinator that knows more about card games than I do.

If you don't get a response back from myself or someone else from the con within a week let me know.

Later,

Joe

Hey all...I am planning to come to MegaCon if at all possible.

I plan to judge at least four slots (I figure if I run 'ULP8-1 Words
of Wisdom' then nobody has to eat it), but that depends...

....is anyone looking for a roommate for the con?

(I know this isnt strictly a gaming question, but I'm putting feelers
out) :)

Drop me a line offlist if you're looking for someone to split a room
with, or you have a spot on a floor :D

Thanks,

Daniel Gray

Greetings Fellow Gamers,

I know this is a little late, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made MegaCon 2008 such a great experience(Especially Beth, Joe, Dustin and too many others to mention). We saw familiar faces and new ones at the SOTA tables this year and the response was very positive for our new adventure that we play-tested, Bite the Bulette. Thanks for your feedback and support. We can't wait to see you in 2009. Expect some big surprises next year.

Thanks,
Roderick Edwards
Vice-President
Dark Tavern Press, Inc.

Minneapolis Fan staying on Sailboat wishes to know if any Locals could
tell me of sites worth seeing in the area.  Email. or Tour Guide?

You can google me or just check the photo I've posted to remind you
what I look like, if you've been to a WorldCon in the past 35 years.
I've been a member of all of them, hitchhiking to TorCon at the age of
14.

If yr ever in Minneapolis or near the Mall of America, I enjoy showing
off the Best Place on Earth (May 15 - Sep 15 Division).

There was a group of people who used to run a Deadlands (Wierd West)
RPG at MegaCon and I was wondering if they (or anyone) would be
running Deadlands again in 2009?

Also does anyone know of any D&D 4ed, L5R, and Star Wars Saga RPG's
being run as well?

thanx

Hello All -

Just a quick note, if you have not been to the site recently you may
not know that we will be moving back to the West Building in 2009 and
again in 2010.

With out February 27-March 1, 2009 convention we will be in Hall D in
the West Building.  We are returning to our OCC roots.

Also, if you are interested in running a game, please let me know.
You can post here or directly to me at megacon_joe@....

Later,
Joe

Hey all,

Since 2001 I've been running a very successful Paranoia LARP at
Megacon in Orlando.  We had to skip last year, as I could not get
things together due to job issues, but I really want to run it this
year.  If I can get a game up for 09, this will be the game's eighth year.

Megacon 2009 is February 27th to March 1st.  The game would be on the
Saturday, February 28th and would most likely run from 2pm to 6pm.
Game size is typically around 80 players.

To anyone willing to GM I can guaruntee a free Saturday pass, and
possibly a place to stay Friday night before the con.  It's a fair
amount of work but it's really fun and rewarding.

Tone wise, the game is based off 2nd edition Paranoia.  The system is
a very elegant, simple home-brew based in some ways off of West End's
old Ghostbusters system.  It is essentially GM-less--that is, no GM is
required by the players to resolve any combat or conflict.  The GMs in
our game basically play the NPCs at the various service stations in
the game where players can go to receive missions.  The players are in
groups of 8-10, and must complete missions to receive items of value
to the various secret societies.  The game takes place in and around
the actual convention hall floor.

If you are interested, or have any questions, feel free to shoot me an
email at jamesbarratt [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thank you!

Yours in service to Friend Computer,
-James Barratt

Well we have a few more entries on the gaming page so drop by and
check them out.

Besides Hall D being the main hall for the convention, we look to be
using several breakout rooms.  All are on the same level as Hall D
and are in the same area.

Tentatively we are using . . .
Rooms 230 A & B for Blackhorn
Rooms 230 C & D for Paint and Take
Rooms 221 A & B for Showcase RPG, Clix Board Games and what have you
Rooms 221 D & E for LARP OWBN
Rooms 224 D & H LARP
Hall D for Paranoia and additional gaming

Hope this helps.
Later,
Joe

Hi!

If you are running games at MegaCon 2009 and you have already seen
your games listed on the game page at MegaCon please let me know if
you would like to have your e-mail added to the game entry.

I'm lazy and this way folks who have questions about your game can
write you directly.  Saves me from having to play go between.  I'm
getting old and arthritis is settling in my fingers.

If you believe that I have this bridge in Brooklyn . . .

I am running a Rifts game at MegaCon and I am looking for players. I will be
running Fri-2-6
PM and Sat 9 AM - 1 PM. The Saturday session may be a continuation of the Friday
game or
it may be a different scenario.
I will have pre-generated characters available and I may allow characters
brought in by
players. I do have a few restrictions on characters brought in by players: The
scenario(s) will
most likely involve fighting CS, so I prefer not to have players running CS
characters. The only
OCC/MOS's allowed will be from the core Rifts/Rifts Unlimited books. Also, only
1st level
characters are allowed for the Friday session. I might allow 2nd or 3rd level
characters for
the Saturday session if any characters from the Friday session have advanced.
Any questions can be directed to me at stanley_chesser@.... As the con
gets closer
and I have more info on the scenario(s), I will post it here on the message
board.

Hi All!

For those of you who know me, I'm baaaack!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a troll and I run games at
the con.  Hence, "CON-Troll".  Clever, yes?

Oh, all right.  A few details then.  Every year I run my "CON-Troll"
game library at local conventions.  The premise is simple.  I set out
a whole bunch of games (everything from Munchkin to Axis & Allies) on
tables so that folks can stop by and play something when they're
between other games, sessions, panels, whatever.  Also, I try to run
something "unique" that you won't find elsewhere.  Previous players
may remember "OGRE Macrotures" and "Capital Ship Combat" to name a
few.  This year it's a "Hot Wheels Race Rally".  A big dual-lane
track that includes a ramp drop, loop and jump on the way to a finish
flag.  The cool thing is that YOU get to race against everyone else.
Even cooler, you can bring your own Hot Wheels cars (or Matchbox, or
Johnny Lightening, etc.)  As long as it fits on the track (and isn't
a blatant attempt to cheat) you can race with it!  There will be
prizes and maybe (I said "maybe") trophies awarded to the top racers!

Details are still being hammered out exactly where I will be this
year, but odds are good that it will be down in the main hall again
as in previous years.  Watch the gaming page at the Megacon site for
an update listing where the Hot Wheels Rally and game library will be.

Be sure to stop in, play some games, or at least say "Hi"!

Oh Boy !

I was just informed that for months now the dates shown on the main
page were for MegaCon 2008.

How could you guys let me miss that?  :)

Well the dates are now correct.   Feb 27 - March 1.  Some gaming space
should be available on Thursday evening, Feb 26.

Oh well, there goes my bonus.

Later,
Joe

Yes !
As far as I know Dustin will be overseeing these again.

Hey, I'm interested in running some games at MegaCon this year on
Friday & Saturday.  Joe, I know this is your domain so what do I need
to do?

I'm specifically interested in running Ironclaw & Star Wars Saga
Edition.  Thanks!

Absolutely...that helps a lot actually. 8)  I'm trying to get a couple
of friends to run a few games too.  I don't remember if there was any
WoD going and I know they do some of that among other games.  I'll do
some writeups around the weekend (plane rides are good for that sorta
thing ;) ) and get it all to you as soon as I can!

or ad hoc religious community, group, individual or belief (or lack
thereof).
