Morning Session ( 11am - 4pm )
Evening Session ( 5pm - 10pm+ )

Game "Swap Meet" at this Saturday's Game-a-thon
Submitted by DC on Tue, 04/08/2008 - 00:07. ()

This is a reminder about the SWA Game-a-thon coming this Saturday, April 12th.

Not only do we have a bunch of good events (click here to see the full descriptions), but also one of our quarterly Game Swap Meets.

If you've got merchandise you'd like to sell, please consider renting a table or three at our Game-a-thon.

This is meant to be more of a Swap Meet / Garage Sale atmosphere, and not really intended for full merchant setups.

Each attendee can rent a maximum of three tables. The first costs $2, two cost $10, and three cost $20. As you can see, the price structure encourages individuals to rent few tables.

Each table is (2.5' x 2.5'); a standard card table. Some of them are kinda old and thus not very sturdy. Please keep this in mind when planning what you'll bring for sale.

You can reserve your table(s) ahead of time by using the online registration form. You will see the prices repeated there. Please also note that you have to pay the Game-a-thon registration in addition to the table rental fee if you are playing games.

You can also rent tables on a walk-in basis, first come, first served.

Here's our secret agenda... Not only do we want to help you get rid of gaming stuff you're not using, but we'd also like to see this generate some more walk-in traffic.  So feel free to come by and browse.  There is no registration cost to you if you're not playing games.


Here's the summary of events again.

We've got a special all-day Wilderness War tournament.  We've also got FCS D&D in both time slots. And other good gaming offerings as well...

Both Sessions ( 11am - 10pm+ )
Morning Session ( 11am - 4pm )
Evening Session ( 5pm - 10pm+ )

We hope to see you there.

Game-a-thon: Saturday, February 16, 2008
Submitted by DC on Fri, 02/08/2008 - 11:23. ()

This month's SWA Game-a-thon is right around the corner. We're sorry it took a little longer than we'd hoped to get out the schedule. Here's the reason - we need more more people to volunteer to run events for us. It's harder when we have to ask the same people to step up every month. If 20-30 of you could run just one game per year, that would help speed our scheduling tremendously!

Also, please note that January is a Game-a-thon Swap Meet month. Three times per year (January, April & July) we will have a swap meet area at that month's Game-a-thon.
