U-Con Update

Living Greyhawk has been added to our system. We are still expecing Living Arcanis and a couple other campaigns. Check out the friendly RPGA chart for your RPGA events.

Our one Call of Cthulhu event sold out already, so we requested the GM to add another on Saturday night. Search for Cthulhu to get your ticket to this new event.

We have added Tekumel events to the listing.  Search for Tekumel to find them.

We are pleased to announce that the U-Con website is open for pre-registration. You can search or browse events online, or just purchase your badge . Please note that there are a few missing event which we expect to receive later including seminars for our Guest of Honor and Living campaigns for RPGA. Is there another game missing you want to play? There is still time to submit to run it!

Once again, we are excited to bring Loren Wiseman, a game designer and founding partner in Game Designers’ Workshop to U-Con. This is part of our celebration of 30 Years of Science Fiction gaming, which began with the Traveller RPG in 1977.

Please contact us if you are interested in running games or volunteering if you haven’t already.

We look forward to seeing you at U-Con!

U-Con, GAMA (Game Manufacturers Association) and The Academy of Adventure Gaming, Arts, and Design have joined forces to present the Origins Awards Game Room!

Come and join us as we present the very best games of 2007: those submitted to the annual Origins Awards. There will be folks on hand to teach and demonstrate these hot, new board games. Some of these will end up being the same games that you will have an opportunity to vote for at the Origins 2008 Game Expo! Come to U-Con, and play some of the best new games of the year!

All events in this room are one generic ticket ($1.50).

U-Con is a great place to play games. We need your help to spread the word! Please let your friends know about us, and you can use one of our new fliers to do it. First, we have a flier for our gamemasters who run games at other conventions - a great way to advertise your events at U-Con. Second we have another flier for anywhere. Please consider downloading a flier and letting everyone know that you enjoy your time at U-Con.

We have recently confirmed the return of several staple events! The Rogue Trader Tournament will be expanding to include Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy. Additionally, the Underworld Cup Blood Bowl tournament is back. We’ve also confirmed that the Smithee Awards will once again grace our convention. See the featured events for more details!

Our first guest of honor has been confirmed.
