Hey Everyone.

Just wanted to post here about the upcoming Reading Dragon Con 2010.

I will have a digital poster this weekend.  But here's the news.  Pass it on.

January 23-24 will be the Reading Dragon Con in Fresno.  It will be held at Fresno State, parking is free on the weekends.  With the current economic crisis, our goal is to keep this as affordable as possible.  Instead of paying for a whole weekend, we will charge by the game.  4.50 per slot (will get you about four hours of gaming) or 3.00 if you pre-register.  Pre reg begins after Christmas.

Pass the word.  We do need some help though.  We are in desperate need of DM's.  If you or someone you know has RPGA experience, please pm me or email me.  If you DM two games, you will get three games for free, essentially making the con free for you. 

Also, we need volunteers.  People to run registration booths, people to run game demos, help with setup, etc.  Please email me or pm if you are interested.

Vendors.  We will have an area for vendors.  If you are interested in being there, email or pm me and I will send you the details.

  It's not complete, but check this site for more info as it comes

Also, sign up for roleplaying games will be here:

    One last thing, I am looking for people who would be interested in running card game torunaments. 

Take care all, hope to hear from people soon.  My email is at the bottom for those who need to contact me.

Bad News.  The con has been canceled. 

    Fresno State has a problem with their elevators, so they are not working at the moment.  Because of this, they cannot legally let us use the building or the rooms we need.  They tried to get us into another building on campus, but because school is starting, this was impossible.  So they instead opted to give us back our money.

  We may reschedule this in the future.  Fall at the earliest. 

  Also, to make up for this, we will be having a Game Day at the library on the 30th to make up for this.  It'll be free, but small.  Our way of saying thank you to everyone.  Check the con site for more info.

  Please pass the word around.

How disappointing. I was really looking forward to the games on Saturday.

Are you going to reverse the paypal amounts to people that pre-paid?

Thanks.

Of course.  For those who prepaid, money should be back in the next couple of days. 

It's really sad, especially for the amount of work we've put into this.  Not the ending we were expecting.  Maybe we'll try again in the near future.

There are some things that are beyond the control of organizers and one of those things is problems at the venue.

I'm sorry everything fell through for you guys.

Thanks for the attention to the refunds.

Well the "good news" that comes out of this is we have a lot of people interested and in the information pipeline for future events.  I'm all for a con or mini-con in the future, especially if we can grow it to be a regional draw.  Let's put our heads together and brainstorm some options for the future.

Well, it can't be helped.
