Dealer Tables Are Full
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:58 AM by atom
Just a quick note to mention that dealer tables for OshCon 2010 are all spoken for. We're going to have a lot of dealers this year selling all kinds of different products, from books, t-shirts, miniatures terrain, cat toys, dice bags, and more. Oh, and games. Lots and lots and lots of games.

Speaking of games, there's still time and space to sign up to run events for OshCon, but the space is starting to fill up, so don't wait too long. If you have a specific time you want to run an event (maybe you're trying to schedule around another event that you really want to play in) then you'll want to get your event signed up soon so you can still lock in your preferred time. Sign up today!

Less Than Two Months Until OshCon 2010

As the headline says, there's less than two months until OshCon 2010, and already, we're starting to see more movement from GMs. Every year, we open up the event schedule earlier in the spring, and we see a few events get entered into the system here and there. But then, just at the two month mark (usually just after Gen Con) is when we really start to see action on the schedule, and the trickle becomes a flood. Get your trickle in before the flood so you can get the time slot you want, and enter your events at the Be a Gamemaster page today!

Also, if you're a vendor and you'd like to have a table at OshCon and haven't contacted us yet, you'll want to move quickly. Tables are filling up, so make sure to get to the Dealer Info page and get your space locked in.

Lastly, the new PDF flyer for OshCon 2010 is now available for download. Grab a copy, make a bunch of prints, and wallpaper your local game shop, comic shop, club night, school or public bathroom with them. The handy link is over in the left column of most pages of the website.

A Small Dealer Mix-Up

Just a quick note: when I updated the Dealer Info pages for OshCon 2010, I left out a small piece of important information. The PRICE. It was just a glitch on my part, and didn't mean anything. Anyway, just to clarify: the dealer price per table is still the same as it was last year (and the year before, etc.) at $25 per table. If you're interested in being a dealer, we've still got some tables left, so sign up now, and sorry for the confusion!

2010 Event and Dealer Registration is Now Open!

The headline says it all: You can now register events through our handy-dandy web form. They don't get dropped into the database instantly (we manually go through them to check for spambots and such) but they usually get entered the same day. If you've run events at OshCon in the past, nothing has really changed this year, except that we should have more space, since we're expanding into the basement of the Gruenhagen Center. If you haven't been a gamemaster at OshCon before, feel free to email us at info@oshcon.org with any questions.

Also, dealer registration is open, so vendors should head to the Dealer Info page and sign up to get their booths. Any questions, hit the same email as above. We had 233 attendees last year, so there are plenty of people there ready to buy what you're selling. See you at the convention!

OshCon 2010 Announced
Friday, April 23, 2010 9:34 AM by atom
Even though the date was actually changed on the website a few months back and there have been some posters and flyers in some places since the end of February (most notably the Fire and Ice convention in Manitowoc), today we are officially announcing the date for OshCon 2010! Mark your calendars for October 9-10, 2010 and make sure you'll be at the Gruenhagen Conference Center on the UW-Oshkosh campus for all the games, demos, tournaments and dealers that will fit!

Speaking of space, this year we'll be expanding down into the basement as well, so we'll have more room for gaming tables. Therefore, we hope to expand some more into some tournaments in collectible card gaming and miniatures. Keep checking here for more information.

Lastly, we'll be opening up the schedule to new events (go here to see the big list of last year's events) and opening up vendor registration in mid-May, so check back then, and if you want to be alerted to all the happenings as related to OshCon, make sure to sign up with the mailing list over to the left.
