Al:  if you're able to attend, I'm more than happy to give up my spot for you in either Tim's or Rob's games:  I played in both last year.  I'm also happy to make room for you in my Castle Greyhawk event if you'd like, too.

Hey guys!

The con is now 10 weeks away! Just wanted to let everyone know that Raffle ticket sales are lagging a bit behind last year's sales....I don't know if that is because people plan on purchasing them there, or the economy, or everyone is waiting on their tax refund check...

The con is entirely non-profit. Doug and I don't make a cent. Our wildest dreams would be to break even this year or in the future so we could keep this great con running into the future.  Raffle ticket money goes straight into running the con, paying for the hotel, gettiing the great guests, etc. Tickets are $5 each and really help the bottom line.

The more tickets you buy, the more items you have a chance of winning. Last year Chris Finch won THREE of the highly coveted raffle prizes. The spread was pretty good, though I think Chris was the only person who won more than one item.

Not to mention the prizes, which are wildly out of line with the small amount a ticket costs!  Below are the items we have already confirmed for this year's show. Items with an asterisk you don't have to be present to win, and I will mail them anywhere in the world so that isn't a problem:

- must be present to win

* Dragon Magazine # 1
* Castle Zagyg - Upper Works
* Strategic Review # 1-7 (each raffled separately)
- Custom module for North Texas RPG Con by Tim Kask (2ea)
* DCC #C9 w/NTRPGCon Logo (2ea)
* Jim Holloway special Limited Edition set from Cairn of the Skeleton King 14 prints per set on 65# paper(2ea)
* DCC #51 Castle Whiterock (2ea)
- Custom module for North Texas RPG Con by Steve Winter (2ea)
* Core Rules Expansion CD 2.0 in shrink
- Swords & Wizardry limited edition miniatures by Center Stage Miniatures
* Dungeon Magazine #1
* Forgotten Realms Menzoberranzan boxed set - VF
* Tabletop Warriors Fantasy Rules from 1984---Signed by author
* NTRPGCon 2009 Dice Bag w/all 6 special guests signatures
* Chainmail 3rd Ed - 8th print - in shrink
* Dragon's Craig LE Lithograph by Paul Jaquays (signed if you want)
- Other World miniature to be painted by Angela Imrie

We are still working with Otherworld minis and Angela to see which mini she will paint for the con this year...her two painted items (the lewd Beholder and the Idol mini) were probably the most commented on and coveted prizes last year. We have a good idea what the mini will be this year, and if it works out it will be a doozy!

Also, we are accepting any and all donations of games, modules, fantasy books, etc for the con. The items (depending on what we think they will be worth) will either go into the "free" raffle (everyone who attends pretty much wins something there), the "paid" raffle, or the auction we are hoping to have Saturday night.  Again everything there goes back into the con. Even your old extra copy of B2 will be accepted!

No, you don't have to register for the site or the Con, you should just be able to click the "PayPal" button and then edit the number of tickets you want.

or click directly on this link if it works better for you:

Jeff;

You have to call the hotel directly, otherwise they won't have any rooms available. We still have 13 rooms however they won't show up on the sites. You have to ask for the North Texas Con Rpg discount. If you have any trouble let me know...!

Mike B.

Ok I will call the hotel directly, still could use a roommate if anybody else needs a room!

Hey Martin!

I'm happy to hear that you're going.

Yeah, I've made the decision.  I will visit the evil empire (Texas), land of arrogance, dumbass's with cowboy hats and big ass belt buckles.  I will try to speak unintelligently so as not to stick out like a sore thumb.
