Save the Date - Council of Five Nations: October 10-12, 2008

It's that time of year. The 'ol Council of Five Nations machinery is starting up once again.

We'll have our 31st Council this year, October 10-12.  Council is one of the oldest gaming conventions in existence.  Here's the ad we ran in Dragon Magazine #10 for Council II, back in 1977:


Gary Gygax as a Guest of Honor!  $6 entry fee for the whole weekend!  Those were the days...

We're currently looking for volunteers to run games.  If you'd like to help us out with one (or more!), we'd love to have you.  Not only can you get free entry, but we've got a special T-Shirt incentive this year... but only if you get your games in promptly!  Please check out this page for more info:



Even if you're not interested in GMing, you can keep tabs on all the latest Council info here:


We will be updating this page regularly.


Over 1,000 of you will be receiving a postcard from us over the next few days.  It asks that you mark your calendars now - save Columbus Day Weekend (October 10-12).  That's about two-and-a-half months away.

Please feel free to forward this email to your friends (we offer discounts for group registrations of 3+).

Please feel free to bring your kids (students get in half price, and we offer a whole event track of "kid friendly" games).

Please feel free to plan a road trip with your whole college gaming club (the group and student discounts stack!).

Watch your email box for more Council news as things progress.

We look forward to seeing you in October!
