MegaCon2012 Venue Chosen
MegaCon 2012 will be held at the Orange County Convention Center, about 5 minutes from Universal Studios, across the street from Pointe Orlando, located on International Drive (Map). Note that, this year, the main hall will still be in Hall D (See Floorplan), however, the entrance will be located inside Hall D-1 (West). If you were at MegaCon2011, looking at the old entrance, you will head to the left, and go through the multiple doors (that were exits nearest the west side last year). This will be where ticketing and the entrance is. Tickets this year will be $24.49 per day and $58.04 for a full weekend pass (at door price: $25.00/$60.00)a.
RPG Room Chosen
The RPG room will be located in three rooms of W230 (A,B,C) (Floor Plan). This increases our Square Footage from 4,671 to 5,518 square feet. That's a 18% increase over last year! Thanks to the MegaCon Organizers for providing this space. We will more than likely have up to 40 RPG tables. As with last year, provided by default will be Pathfinder Society RPG (by Paizo) and Living Forgotten Realms (4th Edition) (by Wizards of the Coast)b
Call for Initial Signups!
This year, we are going to get a head start on how many tables we are going to take up, and how many participants we have to plan for. Although MegaCon2012 is still 4 months away, we are already planning out what tables we are going to place in the room, and what we are going to offer at the Con. Want a specific module? E-mail MegaCon2012@Imper1umDesigns.com with the modules you have played and we'll try to put the modules out that you have not played! This year, we are going to try to repeat the great opportunities we provided last year; namely, 1-hour "short attention span" games and Interactive Modules*. We had some great reviews for these types of modules from last year, and we're hoping we can repeat this for 2012. Help us out by signing up for MegaCon2012 Warhorn and signing up for the tiers you want to play. This year, due to demand, we will be offering one Level 12 PFS Module, and the Season 3 Pathfinder Society Interactive.
NOTE: Pre-registration is required at MegaConvention.com. Order tickets here. You will need to forward your verification to MegaCon2012@Imper1umDesigns.com to be cleared for registration on the warhorn site.
* Subject to availability.
