OpieCon, just like all our other mini-cons so far, is absolutely free.
Something to bear in mind when deciding if you want to come:Players will be seated for the events in the following order of priority: Players who are registered on Warhorn and show up on time are seated first, players not registered but who show up on time are seated next, and regardless of registration, late players are seated if space is available. Be on time!

Good news and bad news:
Good news: We are adding Star Wars SAGA to the con! Even if you generally avoid media tie-in games, this is a must try. It's a real winner.
Bad news: It appears Shadowrun Missions is not going to happen due to conflicts with the gentlemen who were going to run them. So, unless you hear from me again, SRM is off the docket. If you are am SRM enthusiast and would like to run even a couple of slots to spread the Shadowrun gospel, contact the store owner.
Witch Hunter: Dark Providence is a go! One of the GM's is a contributing author to the core book and new expansion! He's top notch at running a scary game, even when sunlight is still streaming through the store windows. FYI: A regular contributor to these boards, Sean Molley is part of the production team for WH - and if you remember Arcanis, some of that creative team are also on board for WH.
Several people have contacted the store owner about running a slot or two of PFS. We would LOVE to have you help out. (We would waive the registration fee, but there isn't one!
)
One more thing: At our last mini-con, we offered participants the opportunity to order food from (very) nearby restaurants at a special con discount. The food was delivered to the store so that all our slots could start on time. This was a huge success. Lunch on Saturday was sandwiches and chips from a wonderful bistro across the street for $5 (which included tax and tip). Supper was pizza by the slice from a locally owned pizza place for $2/slice or $8/all you care to eat. Again, that included tax and tip.
We can't guarantee those prices or offerings will be the same, but we do plan to provide a similar deal if there are enough people that would like to take advantage of it.
Finally, not only is OpieCon FREE, FREE, FREE; but all Pathfinder, Witch Hunter, and Star Wars SAGA merchandise will be available at a discount to anyone playing at least one slot.
See you there!

If you'd been planning on coming and can't get into the slots you want, please contact us. I'm not sure what we can do, but everybody running this thing is committed to you getting to play something every slot you'd like to while you're here.
Also, do not overlook the Witch Hunter game. It's from the same folks that brought you Living Arcanis. The judges for these events is actually a contributor to this campaign, and runs a great game. Indy games' popularity seems to be skyrocketing lately. This game is one of the reasons why. This is the perfect weekend to try it out.
This mini-con is FREE, FREE, FREE. Snacks and drinks are available on the premises, and full meals can be delivered to the store for reasonable prices so you never stop the gaming or start the next slot late.
OpieCon registration (did we say FREE?) is on good ol' Warhorn. OpieCon, Organized Play, Knoxville, TN.
P.S. - If you are a Shadowrun enthusiast, there is still time for you to volunteer to run a slot or two. Contact the store owner at the email address on his website, Organized Play

For those of you playing at Organized Play, did they get my posters? Have you seen them up? Inquiring minds want to know! (and wouldn't mind seeing cell phone pictures of the posters in action!)
/bows down before you.
