Texas Games Con Returns!

By Rob Baer | June 1st, 2014 | Categories: Uncategorized

Howdy Ya’ll!

It’s that time again, time to get packed up and head to Austin or 3 days of games and fun. A couple of things stand out:

First, we’ve moved back to the Doubletree. This means much cheaper rooms and lower costs or us. That shows the second thing – everything is cheaper than the last two years; we’re passing our saving on to you.

This year we added a VIP status. This includes your pint glass and tee shirt, no matter the size (so this is an especially good value for you big guys). The pint glass matters because it holds the $2 Shiner beer for people who are not driving – yes, $2 Shiner all day, in pints. That’s part of our focus on having fun and moving away from the “win or die” that seems to be infecting play in lots of places these days.
So get registered and come see us!

PS for 40K Players: Yes, we are playing 7th edition!
