We have two events coming up in May, so mark your calendars.
On May 7, we’ll host another game night at the Junction City library. We’ll play some games, talk about gaming, and see what you guys want to see at TengaiCon this year and in the future. The fun starts at 7pm.
On May 16th, we’ll be hosting open gaming at Varsity Donuts from 6 to 9pm. We’ll have games, but feel free to bring your own and get a round going with other local gamers. Join us at the big table for a few hours of fun and donuts.
Today is Tabletop RPG day, and though we didn’t get an event scheduled, we hope all the gamers out there got their game on with friends.
Next weekend is the Kansas City Kotei for L5R players. If you haven’t signed up, go to their Facebook page and check it out.
May 7, we’ll be heading to Junction City for another game night at the Bramalage Library. More details to come, but we hope our local and JC gamers will come out and see us! We had fun last time and would love to see more of you there!
Volunteers Wanted! We’re still looking for some people to help staff the event. The normal cost to get in is $5.00, but volunteers will get a discount and pay only $3.00 to get in. Okay, so it’s not a huge difference, but you’ll also get to help out with a great convention for two hours and then be able to game the rest of the time. We’re currently looking for the following:
Registration
Dice Table
Paint and Take
Set up and Take Down (times will vary, contact us for details)
Concessions
Runners and Backup (help keep the Con running smoothly and fill in if needed)
If you’re interested in signing on, please email us at tengaicon@gmail.com and let us know! We’ll schedule a time and a role and welcome you happily to the team!
Besides planning TengaiCon, our committee has also been doing its part to assist in bringing gaming to the community. Besides taking part in our own individual gaming events, we recently hosted a gaming presentation at the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library in Junction City, KS.
The weather was not working with us that night, but we still had two players come out. With such a small group, we talked gaming, traded information about TengaiCon and even played a couple short RPGs.
We hope to work with the library and hold another one in May, so if you didn’t make it due to weather, we hope to see you then.
Don’t forget, we’ll also be at Analog Game Day on May 9 from 10am to 6pm at the Hale Library. Check out their new link and register if you haven’t already done so.
Gaming will be held in the great room and there will be plenty of games to keep everyone busy for the full day.
It’s been a busy week for TengaiCon planners…who knew 2013 was going to throw so much at us?
This past week, many of you may have seen that the event for Analog Game Day on Facebook was cancelled. Don’t worry, the event is still happening! The guys are just doing some website restructuring and needed to take down the old to put up some new.
So Analog Game Day WILL be happening on March 9 from 10am to 6pm in the Great Room aka Harry Potter Room of Hale Library.
We hope to see you there and will post new sites and information when it’s available!
Analog Game Day is happening March 9th at Hale Library. This day event will feature tourneys and board games for people to play and try out, and attendees are invited to bring their own games to play with friends. The Great Room houses more than enough space to accommodate a large crowd, and Marc and Dan, the fellows heading up this awesome event, are hoping to fill the room.
Mark your calendars and tell your friends, and while you’re there, stop by and say hi at the TengaiCon table. We’ll have information about the convention, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events.
Just a heads up on some of the things we have planned in the next few months and some of the games already confirmed for TengaiCon. We’ll have our pages for these up soon, so please keep checking back for updates.
Upcoming Events
Calling All Gamers: A Presentation and Discussion on Gaming – February 26th, 2013, 7pm – Dorothy Bramlage Public Library, Junction City, KS
If you’ve liked our Facebook page, followed us on Twitter, or are already on our mailing list, you’ve no doubt already heard from me, possibly more than you’d like. I’m Amanda and I have the pleasure of heading up this year’s TengaiCon committee. TengaiCon is our local gaming convention, started several years ago by a group of local gamers who wanted to have a convention, much the same way other conventions start. Things have changed a bit over the past few years in the wake of some ups and downs. This past year especially brought with a series of unexpected challenges, but we’re back on track and ready to roll.
Well, maybe not ready to roll yet, but ready to get ready to roll.
Our goal and vision for TengaiCon is twofold. First, we want to have a gathering where gamers can come and enjoy their favorites as well as learn some new games. I don’t mean just those gropus who have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for years. I mean ALL gamers: card players, board gamers, trading card players, families who play Monopoly, couples who play chess, teenagers who love video games….anyone who enjoys playing games.
Second, we want to recruit new gamers and show them what the gaming world has to offer. The reason I’m a gamer today is because of the enthusiasm others had in sharing something they enjoyed. As someone who’s also been able to bring others onboard in much the same way, it’s a great feeling to help someone find a new hobby.
And I suppose you can say there’s a third aspect to this, because we want to bring all these gamers together to encourage and foster a gaming community, not just locally, but among players in general. We’re located in Central Kansas, but we have internet, we have media, we have reach. Having a local convention helps bring people together to game, but we hope that what they take away from the experience goes beyond our one day event.
If you want to get involved, you can email us at tengaicon@gmail.com. You can also Like us on Facebook or Follow us on Twitter @Tengaicon.
