Strategicon Gaming Conventions

[dragonlady]

Just want to remind everyone that you need to set aside Presidents day weekend (and Valentines) for the Strategicon Gaming Convention in Los Angeles (http://www.strategicon.net).

 

Just wanted to make sure that everyone knows about the Strategicon Gaming Conventions held three times a year:

 

* Presidents Day weekend - Mid February

* Memorial Day weekend - Last Monday in May

* Labor Day Weekend - 1st Monday of September

 

 

This is the largest gaming convention here in Southern California, with lots of Board Games, RPGs, Miniatures and Collectibles and card games.

 

This Presidents day event the convention is hosting:

 

* The Broadside Bash - the Pacific Marauder's Official Games Workshop GT

* Flames of War National Qualifier

* Paint and Take table

* Painting workshops

* Monsterpocolypse tournament

* Warmachine/Hordes Tournament

* Card Games

* Board Games

* Large Scale Miniature Battles

* Historical Miniatures

* Bloodbowl

* and more

 

 

Pre-registration for all conventions begins at least one month prior to the events, with a discount for early online registration.

Event registration generally begins one month prior to the actual event.

 

The event is held at a hotel with discounts being given at the hotel for convention attendees.

 

The convention is always looking for Game Masters, and if you run at least 8 hours of events with full participants, then your convention attendance can be reimbursed.

 

I look for to seeing everyone there
