FallCon - A Cornucopia of Gaming

Just wanted to share a bit of video footage with you of the preparations behind Fallcon 23. This year, we wanted to take you behind the scenes of Canada's Premier Boardgaming and Miniatures convention. There are a lot of videos to be shared this year and here is a sneak peek :)




It takes a lot of effort to run Fallcon but we have so much fun! If you don't believe it, check out what Brent gets up to!

A quick reminder that we will be closing the online registration system sometime after 8pm on Wednesday evening. If you intend to register and possibly prepay for the con, please do so sometime before Wednesday. Otherwise, walk-in registrations will take place throughout the convention this weekend.

Did I mention FallCon is THIS WEEKEND?!

See you on Friday!

With a mere week before we open our doors, we're excited to see our pre-registrations hover around 200. Even with our numbers at record levels, we want to assure you we have tons of space for additional attendees and visitors. First, we still have a ton of events with open slots including our annual Settlers of Catan tournament and nearly our full spectrum of miniature events. In addition, you are welcome to register in one of our full events where you'll be placed onto a waitlist. Should room open up from people not showing up, we'll do our best to sub you into a game. These waitlists are also useful for tracking purposes next year as we can use these to track interest for next year's convention.

Barring getting into a game via the waitlists, attendees will also have access to an extensive list of 350 games in our game library. Sign out a favorite or a new game to learn and head out into the main hall where you'll be able to play a pick-up game with fellow attendees. The game library itself will be moved to the back room on the main level to make more space for open gaming within the main hall. We'll also be moving some of our events upstairs just to make sure we have a healthy amount of space to play, mingle and move around. 

So don't hesitate to register if you're on the fence. We want you to check us out and we've made plans to accomodate for the extra people. When it comes to gaming with friends, the more the merrier!

St. Peter's Truth Group, our wonderful caterers from last year are once again treating us to their tasty cooking. As was the case last year, the youth group from St. Peters Church in Calgary will be running our kitchen.

Based on the feedback we received from last year, we've worked on the menu to come up with an even better selection of inexpensive, healthy and tasty options for all who attend the convention. In addition to our weekend favorites (beef on a bun, lasagna, breakfast sandwiches), we'll also have a selection of ready to go sandwiches and salads. Please have a look at the Truth Group Cafe and Bistro Menu for this year's excellent selection of mouth-watering dishes & snacks.

As an attendee, we hope you'll support our volunteer caterers. You'll be supporting their fundraising efforts. Plus the more you eat in at the conference, the more time you have for gaming!
