OG-Con: The Central NJ Gaming Group Convention for "Other Games"

The Central NJ Gaming Group is pleased to announce OG-Con, our convention for other games! We will be hosting a weekend of games we rarely get to play in the New Jersey Gaming Group, including Minis, Card and non-4E Roleplaying Games! There is no general admission fee, but each event has a cost based on its prize support.

The main purpose of this convention is to let everyone try out new games: all of these games are teaching sessions as well as prize tournaments (everyone walks away with a prize, regardless of how you finish). We will have 3 minis tournaments, each four hours long. It's a big day for mini combat.

Registering: Just post that you are coming, we'll be glad to have you over. Also indicate which of our tournaments you will be attending. Special note on pricing: Tournaments are $5 each. However, pay for 2 tournaments ($10) and play the third for free.

Sunday's Games:

Marvel / Standard Heroscape: (9am-1pm) Heroscape is a fun boardgame where supernatural armies attack each other in a very fun system. We will be playing 1-on-1 tournaments so people can't gang up on each other. Build your own 500 point army, or borrow one of mine. Armies are first-come-first-choice from my stuff. All heroscape themes are legal, including Marvel and normal starters / expansion. Players are invited to bring tiles to build their own combat landscape, as we will be using multiple maps. Cost is $5 which includes... something from Wizards (they are sending me support, but I don't know what it is). Winner also gets a trophy, and recognition on our website.

Star Wars Miniatures (1:30pm-5:30pm): Choose your favorite faction: Rebels, Imperials, Clones, Bounty Hunters, Mandalorians or maybe something from the fringe of society- and lead a squad of soldiers to battle on a space ship or planet surface! We will be running a standard Star Wars minis skirmish scenario, and everyone will be able to build an army of 125 points or borrow one of my premade armies. Cost is $5 which includes some Star Wars Minis to keep, a trophy and recognition on our website.

Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures (6:00pm-10pm): Finally, use those D&D Minis you have collected over the years for more than collecting dust! We will be running a three round tournament where you command a warband of several creatures using rules are pretty similar to 4E D&D. There is one big exception: instead of running a single character, you may be commanding a couple of dragons, or a band of Mind Flayers! Build a 100 point army or borrow one of mine. Cost is $5 which includes some Dungeons and Dragons Minis to keep, a trophy and recognition on our website.

Remember, pay for 2 events and play all 3!
