We will be attending Orycon to promote Metacon. Please stop by and
check us out. We are at the top of the stairs on the second floor by
the exercise room (Yeah, we aren't happy with the placement, but it's
our first year there).
We will be bringing "THE BOX" (for on the fly LARPs) as well as having
rules for the Metaverse handy. We are also offering an "Orycon" rate
of $15 ($5 off the current price) for anyone who stops by with a 5th
Wall Gaming account (Create one at
http://www.5thWallGaming.com) and a
check/cash/money order/barter items/etc.
You have to admit. $15 is a good price. We have the local MIB group
running board and card games as well as some pretty kick ass
roleplaying games (The MIB are currently compiling their schedule, so
it will be up soon). Heck, I'd personally pay $15 to meet and take
part in a panel with the former president of FASA (Shadowrun and
Battletech). That's some good gaming history right there.
Now, what is Metacon?
We will be gathering at the Clarion Hotel (
http://www.stayclarion.com- (503) 252-2222 - 11518 Northeast Glenn Widing Drive, Portland, OR,
97220) for 3 days of gaming on May 27-29 2011. We have a special room
rate set up for $69 a night. Just mention Metacon.
Early Bird Registration - $20 until December 31st 2010.
Pre-Registration - $25 until April 1st 2010.
At the Door - $30
Those prices are for all weekend long. For day passes, it would be $15
for one day and $25 for 2 days payable at the door only.
Additionally, we will be having a hospitality room with REAL food.
Chili, Veggies, Sandwiches, Pasta, Etc. Extra cost will be $10 for the
whole weekend.
If you wish to GM an event, then you need your submission entered into
our system by December 31st 2010. For GMing, you get free admission
for 12 hours. For 16 hours, you get a free hospitality room
membership.
Also, besides the Board, Card and Roleplaying games, for those of you
wanting to play in the Metaverse (our 24/7/365 LARP), everyone
registered for the convention (or paying at the door) will be able to
make one. All you need is a Genre you want to play in and your name.
