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.

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!

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.

| In the stillness of the night, Drham, the ranger elf, sensed something amiss, something not right in the fabric of nature. He could not tell what it was, but it would come to him. It did, but too late. As dawn rose, the small ruined village smoldered empty of life. |

| Glorp stood on the precipice looking down into the valley. Soon, his enemies would fear the wrath of the White Mace Clan. The notorious band of orks that owned this land. He was waiting for a sign from Hachimatta, the evil witch. |
| The sky began to darken. "This is good," he thought. "My men like the night." Down below the lights of the small village began to burn. One by one the town began to glow. The villagers, he could smell them, were starting their night festivities. A small laugh escaped his grotesque mouth. His tusks, jutting up from his bottom jaw, jiggled as he laughed. This caused the magic bells attached to them to jingle. He could feel their effect. |
| A whimper from one of the slave women caused him to look down and towards the camp. "The food speaks," Glorp said to his lieutenant. Of course this embarrassed Hargha, so he spun and threw his mighty spear into the female's gut. With a cry of pain, she died. His men promptly set to work picking the meat off of her carcass. |
