Based in the Phoenix Arizona metro area (or where I otherwise call home – Mesa, AZ), DarkCon is one of the Southwest’s premiere Fantasy & Steampunk conventions. DarkCon is known for offering an eclectic mix of workshops, gaming, demos, guests, parties, and special events.
The upcoming show promises to be the largest yet!
Gaming at DarkCon 2012 opens Thurs Jan 12th at 2 pm and runs 24 hours a day until Sun at 11 pm! There will be board and card games, roleplaying games, live action role playing, electronic gaming, gaming tournaments and also an extensive game library available. The Guise Knights will bring in their crew to run games like Doom, Dixit, Ticket to Ride and many others. The Men in Black will be in attendance as well with prize support for Steve Jackson Games. These include Munchkin, Revolution and GURPS. A variety of collectible card games including Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon are anticipated as well.
The 24 hour gaming area is 5000 square feet of games, games, games!
Role playing games will have a large presence as well with legendary designer Ken St. Andre running the venerable Tunnels & Trolls, Time Renegades by Dennis Kauffman, John Wick with Houses of the Blooded, and Todd VanHooser’s Laughing Moon Chronicles! Laughing Moon girls anyone? *Wink*
DarkCon promises fun for the whole family!
Stay tuned for more info about the con as well as in depth coverage following the show!
