Anyone else looking for a roommate for the con?

Shoot me a PM!  

Preregistrations just hit 180!  Just one more, and the special guests will be less than 10% of the attendees.  

Just booked my hotel room.  Wanted to remind everyone that Con rates are available as long as you book by May 15th.

I am off on a 28 day trip to Kenya.  

I will be back 3 days before heading off to Dallas, it will be a whirlwind for sure but I can't wait!!!

Use bug spray and sunscreen.  And take an antibiotic prescription with you so it's handy.  Bon voyage!  

Yeah, Dallas can be pretty bad in June.  

Ok, while pulling convention stuff, I found what I will laughingly refer to as the "game box".  These are games we have available for checking out at the front if you want to play a quick boardgame at an open table. Folks, to say it's a sad selection would be a huge understatement...sort of like saying F.A.T.A.L. is a "lousy" RPG.  There are exactly five boxed games in here...Nuclear War is the best known, the rest are less distinguished.  I'm going to appeal to the people here on the forum that support the con and support gaming....if you have a used or new game gathering dust in the closet or attic, something you bought and played a couple of times and put away, we'd love a donation to help bulk up the selection here.  If you are interested, just let me know, we'd appreciate anything (as long as it's complete, please don't dump any games missing essential parts). Even if you don't attend NTRPG con but want to support us, you can send a game, just stick it in a box and mail it by cheapest mail to:

Mike Badolato/NTRPG con
PO Box 1285
Euless, TX 76039

What am I'm looking for?  I'd love to see Arkham Horror, Munchkin, Settlers of Cataan, but I'm realistic.....really ANYTHING with a SF/Horror/Fantasy premise (no Monopoly, Sorry, Chess, etc please). If in doubt, contact me first, and I'll let you know if it's something that would fit in to the theme of the con.  Thanks everyone!

Guys, I just looked at the numbers, we are WAAAAY down on raffle tickets for this year.  As in, perhaps TWO HUNDRED tickets less than last year.  Now, the good thing is that if you buy tickets now, your chances of getting one of the fabulous items below is really, really good....better than it's been any year except for our first year. The bad thing is, if we don't sell more tickets, we are probably going to have to drastically cut the prizes for next year.....the raffle has to at least break even!  It is one of the few revenue streams of the con, and without it we are going to have to sell more stuff (increase the auction, for example, or stuff we sell at RPG Marketplace) rather than put it up for grabs in the raffle.  Please think about making a donation of $10-$20, your odds are VERY good you will win something this year, and you will help out the con.  You do NOT have to be present to win!

NOTE: At this time, you can only purchase tickets at the con itself, sorry!
