Hope it's OK to post here but wanted to say JimCon 3 starts tomorrow!!! We're super excited for a weekend of tabletop gaming and really hope you can be there!
We got loads of gaming going on! Check out our games/tournament schedule here: http://jimcon.ca/2013/index.php/events/92-schedule-of-games. And of course we have lots of games (300+) for pick up and play in our games library. For those looking for players for your game we will have a new feature to help fill those spots! If you find a game you love and don't own, we have some amazing vendors available for you to purchase games and swag from. We will also have cool game bundles for you to win through silent auction!
For those PFS enthusiasts, we are pleased to have PFS Campaign Coordinator Mike Brock joining us for gaming during the weekend and a panel discussion on Sunday (8:30-11am) “Writing in the Games Industry”.
This year we are happy to announce we have the North American Ticket To Ride Regional Qualifier! Preliminary rounds are on Friday and Saturday (you can only enter one preliminary). More info can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/427109844067898/452487644863...
We are also happy to inform you we have a dedicated local games area for local designers to run or play test their games! You will also be able to interact with local game designers and publishers to discuss the processes and challenges of turning your gaming ideas into products!
