It’s like there’s pandemic going on or something… So War Games Con has adapted and is now holding the entire thing virtually. The best part, it’s free for everyone! You can just tune in whenever you have time over the weekend and catch some of the most entertaining personalities in Wargaming talk about the games you love. And join in on some cool community events as well!
Welcome to the first Virtual War Games Con with your hosts: Nights at the Game Table!
Virtual War Games Con Lineup of Events:
Flea Market: July 24-26
- If you are a vendor who also has your own items to sell or trade that’s totally fine, as long as you keep your webstore separate and in the Vendor Hall.
- For those who have a long list of items, we advise that you make use of programs such as Google Sheets and Dropbox and share the link in your post.
- Please keep your posts up to date by deleting items as they sell. It is a waste of your time and your buyer’s time to talk about items that you no longer have available.
- Payment and shipping is between the buyer and seller/ trader.
40k Challenge: July 24-26
Send in your game picks of the new 40k! They will pick a faction winner from all the pictures. Here’s what they have to say about it:
With the release of 9th Edition, there will sure be a lot of playing going on!
Share photos of the ending outcome of your games! Tell us about it!
At the end of the event, we will determine which faction claims victory!
Painting Lounge: July 24-26
Want to connect to other hobbyists?
Feel free to also create a paint hang out via Skype, Zoom, google hangouts, Facebook rooms, etc. So that you can have a great time and paint together.
Please be sure to be inclusive. Everyone is here for the same reason- to have a good time doing the same hobby and gaming as you.
Artist Alley: July 24-26
Buy their artwork, join their events, find a commission painter, and more!
Feel free to advertise your work, websites, social media links, etc.
Please post no more than once per day in order to ensure that all artists involved get an even chance to be seen. However, feel free to make your post into a thread throughout the day and add into the comments section if there are other things you want to announce (such as “hey I’m getting ready to stream”) FYI – you can also announce that in the group event.
AOS CHallenge: July 24-26
Even though 40K will have a new edition release, we still have a lot of love for our fantasy players!
Share photos of the ending outcome of your games! Tell us about it!
At the end of the event, we will determine which faction claims victory!
