Prior Conventions 2010 |
Texicon gears up! We are excited to announce that we have
begun preparation for Texicon 2011. This year the
convention will focus on Role-Play.
There have been some changes since the last convention.
Greg Pitts is no longer the Miniatures Magnate. Justin Rains
has agreed to be the Role-Play Magnate. Matt Sims has come
on board as the Minister of Propaganda. Tory Henry has
been promoted to Registration Magnate.
The most important change is that we have expanded the
convention. Texicon has contracted for additional space. We
will still remain in the same rooms we had in 2010, but we will
also be in the Driftwood room.
The Driftwood room will host miniature games, GM
registration, and the Seminar table. This will free up space in
the Role-Play room (Pheasant Ridge), and in the Board game
room (Llano). Moreover, since miniature gaming has moved,
the Cap Rock room will now be the dealer room.

Texicon goes Green for 2011!
Why did Texicon turn green this year?
If you notice, each game area has its own color. Miniatures is
Orange, Role-Play is Green, and Board games is Purple.
This new green look reflects the fact that Texicon will be
focusing on Role-Play.
Since Role-Play will be the focus Justin will be spearheading the programs
that highlight everything Role-Play.
Rest assured, the other games types (minatures & board games) are just as
important to us. In fact, if you did not know it, historical miniature games
were the focus for Texicon 2010. So, as you can see, none of the games
suffered from the focus, nor will they.
Focusing on a specific game type allows us to bring in special guests, orient
seminars toward that focus, and look to manufactures that specialize more
in that area.
Please note: I want to stress that ALL games are important to us. So,
worry not! There will be plenty of games and game types for everyone.

Do you desire to play that one game that you never seem to
be able to find players for? Have you ever found yourself
thinking that you have the zimm, the pizzaze, the expertise to
run a game? You are not alone.
Often, people feel that they have the desire and skills needed
to run a game. The Magnate for your game type will be
happy to interview you to see if you have what it takes to be
an official Game Master at Texicon!
We are currently seeking qualified volunteers to run games at
Texicon. There are some slots still left for those who wish to
do so. If you are interested in being a game master

We would like to thank all individuals who applied for
Magnate positions. At this time all of the positions are
filled.
Our Magnates are:
Ken Burt - Board games
Brian Guarnieri - Miniatures
Justin Rains - Role-Play

There are a few things you'll need to know about the 2011 convention.
1) Space is limited so pre-register to ensure that you can attend.
2) Send us a list of events you wish to enter. Do this after you pay for your
registration.
3) We will also be having seminars, so make sure to check them out too.
Seminars provide gamers with new ways t look at old games. They also
provide valuable information about creating groups, games, and gaming
supplements. Finally, they provide speeches from veteran gamers and
leaders in the gaming community who have wisdom and knowledge that
will enhance the gaming community at large.
4) Send us any game suggestions that you wish to see as events. Please
send your suggestion to the proper Magnate (i.e. Miniatures, Board game,
Role-Play). Please note: suggestions are just that, suggestions. It does not
mean that they can be implemented. We may not have the space or there
may not be a GM to run the game. Also, if you send your suggestion in
after February, then the game slots may already be filled. Thus, your game
suggestion may not appear.
5) General convention ideas should be sent to texicon@texicon.net Please
keep all suggestions short and to the point.
6) No outside food or drink is allowed. There are places to eat in the hotel
and in downtown Fort Worth.
7) There will be a convention program that will contain valuable information.
