Texicon is moving to a new location. We have worked hard to obtain a place that is more centrally located to down town Fort
Worth. Success! We are proud to announce that Texicon will be hosted at the Norris Center. This will also give us room to
grow. After asking around, we also decided that a lot of you wanted us to move to a new date. We listened. Starting in
2012, Texicon will occur on the 3rd full weekend of July.
We are now going to be in the beautiful Norris Center located in historic Sundance Square. The address and phone number
is: 304 Houston Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102

Announcing the two thousand and twelve Texicon flyer contest. We are taking all submissions from individuals looking to use

a flyer that represents all aspects of gaming. (i.e. Miniatures, Role-Play, and Board Games). We also are looking for a unique
feel that captures what Texicon is all about, namely good gaming, camaraderie, community, good sportsmanship and fun games.
If you don't have artistic talent, this contest is for you. If you do have artistic talent, this contest is for you. If all you can draw is
stick figures, this contest is not for you. After all, some art talent is necessary.

2) artists may submit more than one flyer design.
3) only one free poster per person regardless of how many submissions are made.

6) the winner(s) will sign an electronic letter confirming that the art work is original and that no
copyrighted material was used in the creation of the flyer.
7) All submissions must be received by the end of January 2012 to be considered valid.
8) The contest ends 31 January 2012.

What do you get out of all your hard work?

convention. Any person who does not pick up his or her poster by the end of the Texicon 2012 convention forfeits his or her right
to it.

Texicon is looking for a special guest to come to Texicon 2012. If anyone knows of a Board Game designer who would like to
come to Texicon please have that person contact Kevin Pajak at kevin@texicon.net. We are looking for someone who has a
great game or who has been around for a long time and is known to the gaming community. I, Kevin, was personally hoping to
get Darwin Bromley of Mayfair fame. Why, you might ask. Because I love train games, and he, from what I understand, is a
fun, warm, and welcoming fellow. What a better guest than one who loves us gamers, right? Right!
So, if anyone knows a board game designer who would like to come to Texicon, please pass the message along.
Thanks, Kevin
Many of you would like to stay at a hotel that is close to the Norris Center. We are working to get convention rates and we will
let everyone know as soon as we get them.
Texicon goes Purple! This is to represent the focus for this year on Board Games. Never fear, we will still have plenty for the
Miniature and Role-Play enthusiast too.
