Submitted by DC on Sat, 02/05/2011 - 12:13. ()

Supporters of POINTCON:

POINTCON will be April 9th this year. We hope you can attend once more. We are also looking for GMs to run events.  Our website, pointcon.org,  now has this year's date listed. It looks like John and I will be Cold Wars this year. At least that is the plan.

I hope all is well. As usual tell all your friends about POINTCON. They can e-mail me at srwaddell /at/ hvc.rr.com if they have any questions.

Thanks for the support.

Carnage the 13th: November 5-7, 2010
Submitted by DC on Mon, 09/27/2010 - 19:28. ()


Two items related to Carnage, coming this November 5-7, 2010.
1.  Pre-registation info now available for download.
2.  No-Ship Game Math Trade.


The convention book for Carnage the 13th is now available for download:
http://www.carnagecon.com/2010/09/22/carnage-the-13ths-convention-book-is-in-the-mail-and-on-the-web/

November 5th through the 7th promises to be a busy weekend for those gamers descending on Fairlee this year. Check out the book and see if there's something for you!


Matt Golec talks about the Math Trade...

Carnage (http://www.carnagecon.com/) is coming up in about a month, and while I know many of you are planning to attend, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the math trade I'll be running.

Math trades are great ways to trade games within groups of people
(learn more here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Math_Trades&redirectedfrom=Math_Trade#).

You post games you want to trade, indicate which games you'd be willing to trade for those items you posted, and wait for the results. There's no shipping costs -- we all bring the games we successfully traded to Carnage on Saturday night and pick up the games we successfully traded for. Easy as cake.

Posting games for trade is also a no-risk deal -- if you don't see anything you want to trade for, you don't have to trade.

You can find the Carnage math trade here:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/58855/item/1415338#item1415338

I'd sure appreciate your help in spreading the word about the Carnage math trade. Tell your friends who are attending -- the more games we post, the better the results will be for everyone.

Thanks!
