| The idea for Texicon came at Anime Fest on August 30, 2008. The brothers Kevin and Karl decided it was time to bring to Fort Worth a true game convention. Not only would this bring game stores the support they lacked, but it would also create a place for the gaming community to meet and test their skills in tournaments. Now, players from across Texas, and other states, can meet and test their mettle. "There are plenty of Anime and comic book conventions in the area but there isn't a real game convention." - Karl "I have always wanted to bring gamers together." - Kevin Together they worked hard and created Texicon, Fort Worth's only game convention. |

How does Texicon support the game community?
Texicon links players together who do not normally have a
chance to meet, allows gamers to make new friends, and
allows players to challenge their gaming skills. Each year
players participate in great games. What is the outcome of
a game? A winner. There will be a all winner for each
section of gaming. Players in each section will be judged
on: strength of competition, sportsmanship, and
fellowship, and how much fun you had.
The overall winner from Role-Play, Board games, and
Miniatures will be awarded that section's medal of honor.
There will also be a convention winner. The overall
convention winner will be an attendee who has
participated in all three sections of gaming. A participant
must have won at least one game in each section of
gaming (i.e. Board gaming, Miniatures, and Role-Play).
Competitors scores will be compared, and the person with
the highest score will be judged the convention winner and
will be awarded the highly revered Kronos.
The four winners will receive free admittance to the 2011
Texicon convention.

Texicon supports all three sections of gaming: Miniatures,
Role-Playing, and Board gaming. Each year Texicon will
focus on a specific section. We have chosen to "kick off"
our con with Miniature Gaming. Moreover, we believe
that having a place where multiple games occur will allow
players to try games that they might not normally play,
while allowing our players to also play those games they
love. Our Game Masters and Referees are excited at the
prospect of teaching people to play new games.
Texicon also hosts seminars that focus on every aspect of
gaming. In these seminars, experts will speak about
various aspects of games and gaming. Some speakers will
be seasoned gamers, others will be industry specialists.
We hope you will be brave enough to try a new game.
