Sadly, another PrairieCon has come and gone, but we hope that you all had an amazing time! We hope you were able to play some new games, make some new friends and picked up a great new game or too. Be sure to watch for the Trump Board Game being run in MANY slots next year so that we can make PrairieCon great again!
PrairieCon Tournament Winners!
Congratulations to the Mordenkainen’s Watchdogs, winners of the D&D Tournament this year! Thanks to all 47 players who participated, and the wonderful cadre of DM’s who ran the sessions. It was great fun, and the groups all did a wonderful job, in spite of moss-induced madness!
Also, thank you to Alyssa Fraser, Rick Pemkowski and Ernie Cameron for providing original artwork, painted miniatures, and terrain for the event.
Congratulations to Benoit Deslauriers who took home The Master of Mayhem Metal from Another Roadside Apocalypse. Benoit dished out an impressive Beating on Homer’s Daemons, having been on the receiving end of those Daemons in previous Apocalypse Games I know what kind of a challenge they can be.
And congratulations to Homer who is taking home the voucher for the new Dark Imperium box set from Maxx Collectibles.
Congratulations to Kelly Mitton who won the Settlers of Catan Tournament! Kelly proved that her settlement was the best and her capital city was the best, she built this city on wheat and ore.
PrairieCon has now officially started, and we just wanted to drop a quick message to say we encourage you to post any photos and pix of you having a good time on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat!
This year we even added in a SnapChat GeoFilter that will be live by 3:00 today (Friday)!!
So please, show your friends how awesome PrairieCon is with all your photos and posts on social media!
Last minute info for PrairieCon XXXVIII attendees!
A reminder for anyone attending on Friday afternoon that it’s a regular business day for the college and parking is restricted. An area will be set aside for PriaireCon attendees, probably in the southwest corner of the lot (see map below), with signage indicating it is reserved for us. Parking anywhere else in the college parking before 4:30pm could get a ticket, which would be a lousy way to start of the convention. After 4:30 and for the rest of the weekend, parking is free everywhere on the parking lot.
Registration and gaming for slots 1 and 2 (Friday afternoon) will be in the gymnasium. After 5pm and for the rest of the weekend, registration will be set up in the cafeteria.
If you’re a smoker, please respect that the only places ACC allows smoking is in the smoking areas outside the doors marked with a white “S” on a grey square on the map below.
Good news, everyone! After Dark Winnipeg has come on board as a sponsor of the 38th Annual PrairieCon Dungeons and Dragons Tournament! The After Dark gaming lounge in Winnipeg is a great establishment, with plenty of board games and a great space for running rpg’s – if you are in Winnipeg, be sure to check them out. Thanks so much to Michael and the After Dark team for sponsoring our event.
As many of you know, Rick Pemkowski hand-paints a set of miniatures to be used as prizes for the D&D Tournament every year. Behold his handiwork:
After just two weeks of pre-registration, we have 44 players for the D&D Tournament! That is the highest levels we have seen in many years. As a result of this, we added an additional DM for Saturday to accommodate one more group. With a couple more weeks of pre-registration remaining, we have only two spots left open on Sunday and 8 on Saturday. If you are thinking of joining the game, don’t delay!
The last two pieces of character art from Alyssa Fraser are in. Meet The Con Artist and The Enforcer:
