FallCon - A Cornucopia of Gaming

All of us on the FallCon Team are eagerly counting down the days until FallCon 24, especially those of us who get to greet you first thing upon arrival. It's such a thrill seeing so many grinning faces anxiously waiting to receive their con badges. So when you arrive at the convention those of us at the registration desk will be happy to help you, whether it is your first time or your 24th time!!!

First Stop: Registration Desk

Our hope is to serve you as quickly and efficiently as possible. Everyone is eager to set-up or find their scheduled tournament game, check out the open game library and submit auction games. Our attendance numbers are steadily increasing each day, so make sure to arrive early. Normally at least 150 attendees walk through our door on the first night, so your patience is much appreciated!

Some attendees pre-register and other attendees register upon arrival. Select the pre-registrant or walk-in line-up accordingly and before long you'll receive your name badge. Remember that your badge is your admittance into the con for the weekend, and also allows you to sign out games from open game library. Please wear it at all times throughout the weekend.

After 7:00 pm on Friday, you can swing by the desk to see the selection of games up for raffle. Draws will be made during scheduled tournament times, a total of 5 times over the weekend. Tickets can be purchased with Steve “Long Arm” Lloyd or at the registration desk. The winning tickets will be posted, so you can swing by when your game is done. Make sure to claim your prize before the end of the weekend!

Remember: Doors open at 5:30 pm, Friday 14 October 2011. See you there!

I try not to publish blog posts on weekends as our traffic tends to fall off and I suspect the long weekend will see many folks (other than myself) taking time away from the computer. But for those technophiles like me, here are some quick  reminders worth passing along.

• Online Registrations will close at midnight on Monday October 10th. You'll save yourself time in the lineup if we can print your badges before the convention by letting us know your intentions and signing up online.
  
• Deadline for altering your submitted auction items is Tuesday October 11th
• We tentatively have a short spotlight on Breakfast TV on Thursday morning.

Our dedicated Games Workshop events moderator, Robert Kuster, emailed us a few days ago and suggested that we may have to drop our Warhammer events due to lack of sign-ups. I've emailed the 3 folks who had registered to date and received responses from two of them that they were okay with a change to the schedule so we're going to go ahead with the event cancellations.

While the events are no longer on the schedule, we will accomodate casual drop-in games of Warhammer in open gaming. If you've got room in your car, feel free to bring your armies with you. Rob has also offered to bring in and demo the new Games Workshop game Dreadfleet.
