I would like to invite one and all (especially those living nearby, in the Pacific Northwest) to attend VCON this year. It will be held October 3-5, 2008 at the Compass Point Inn
Gamer Only memberships, available only through early registration, cost of $40 CDN (vs. $60 CDN for a regular adult full weekend membership) and are designed for those who are primarily interested in gaming and do not intend to attend any programmed sessions. Those with gamer memberships will be limited to visiting the Games Room, the Dealers Room and the Art Gallery.
For those who might consider purchasing a full membership (if you register early, you can purchase a full membership for $45 CDN if purchased by July 1st, or $50 CDN by September 15th) we're also working on putting together a solid track of gaming related panels and talks and on attracting some interesting game industry guests. As of today, the following gaming guests have confirmed attendance:
- James Ernest - Founder, Cheapass Games (VCON 33 Gaming Guest of Honor)
- Clinton J. Boomer - Paizo RPG Superstar/CreativeJuices7 (Producer/Writer/Actor)
- Jason Nelson[url] - Paizo RPG Superstar
- [url=http://www.vcon.ca/guests_goh-emeritus_lisa-smedman.htm]Lisa Smedman
- Game Designer & Author/GoH Emeritus: VCON 29 & 32 (2004 & 2007)
(I'm also kind of hoping we can rope in some Paizo folks to come out and participate as programming guests. If any Paizo-ites reading this are interested, please feel free to send me your contact information at the address given below and I'll forward it to the programming coordinators for official follow up)
Thanks
