this Orccon.

Our Guests of Honor at this convention are Rodger B. MacGowan and  
Bruno Faidutti. We hope that you are as excited as we are that they  
will be at Orccon 2011!! Scheduling information on events related to  
both of them to go up on our site soon.

DungeonMaster is returning to Strategicon for the first time in years!  
If you have never had the chance to get involved in this unique  
experience then you won’t want to miss it. Between those who have been  
before and those who want to learn about it we expect a full house. Be  
sure to pre-register so you can be sure to get a seat.

Our roleplaying department will have an incredible lineup of games.  
The Happy Jacks RPG podcast crew will be returning to run games and  
record a podcast in front of a live audience.

So far there are 20 different roleplaying systems (with more to come!)  
scheduled to be run at Orccon 2011 and over 150 individual RPG events  
are expected.

Come and learn that system that you have always wanted to try.  
Demonstrations of GammaWorld character creation and combat will be  
available throughout the weekend.Almost all events welcome beginners,  
so don't be afraid to try something new.

One of our more popular traditions continues again this year, that’s  
right Broadside Bash returns to Strategicion. Even if you have never  
played be sure to stop by, ask questions and see the spectacle. Truly  
an event you don’t want to miss. This year Warhammer Fantasy Battles,  
Warhammer 40,000 and War of The Ring are on the docket. Go to http://www.broadsidebash.com 
  for more information.

What exciting Magic the Gathering events await you Magic Players out  
there?! This is one of our secrets for now but I will just say that  
you will be excited and pleased to join us for a weekend full of Magic  
once again

Another guest we are happy to have is Justin Gary one of the designers  
of Ascension will be at our convention all weekend.

One of the special events that we are very pleased to tell you about  
is our Naruto Chunin Charity Event. This is to benefit the Lustgarten  
Foundation for Pancreatic Research. Good Game + Good Cause = Good Fun  
for all!

Instead of writing page after page at this point, we will just  
encourage you to go to www.strategicon.net and find out more of what  
is going on at this convention. Make sure to pre-register and don’t  
forget to reserve your room – the room registration deadline will NOT  
be extended as it's NBA All-Star weekend in Los Angeles (and there's a  
good chance the hotel will sell out).
