D&D Tournament details

by PrairieCon | Mar 28, 2017 | Newsfeed | 0 comments

Greetings PrairieCon community!

We wanted to take a moment to detail a few changes to the format of the D&D Tournament at PrairieCon this year, and to debut the first of six pieces of character art for the event.

This year, you can register for the tournament as an individual or as a team! Teams must be between four and six players; if you don’t have the full six players, then individuals may be added to your team to round out the groups. This means that we will have a winning group rather than a winning individual this year!

2017 Spring GamesDay!

by PrairieCon | Feb 6, 2017 | Newsfeed | 0 comments

March 25th at the Central Community Club
From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The Central Community Club is located at 529 4th st. in Brandon, MB

There is no registration, slots, or pre-arranged games!
All players are welcome to join.

The canteen will be open, a few vendors are usually in attendance, and there is a good selection of games from which to choose (we do encourage you to bring your own games as well).Although the drop-in nature of the event tends to lend itself best to board games, we generally have some Magic, Warhammer, and Pathfinder Society going as well.

See you all there!

Fall Gamesday

by PrairieCon | Oct 13, 2016 | Newsfeed | 0 comments

Our Fall Gamesday is on November 5th at Board Game Empire

From 10 am to 10pm

We here at PrairieCon like to make sure that people have plenty of opportunities for gaming, so our next Gamesday is coming up soon. This time, we’re teaming up with Board Game Empire, who is going to host the event at their shop!

Previously we stated that it was on October 29th, but we didn’t want to conflict with Comic Con.
So we moved the date, so you (and we) can take in all the geek, gaming and comic book atmosphere that Manitoba has to offer!

We hope to see you on November 5th at Board Game Empire, located at 1150 19th street to play some board, role playing and collectible card games and visit Board Game Empire if you haven’t already!

We are on a mission!

PrairieCon has come and gone and we hope you all had a great time.

The organizers have already met a few times over the summer to review the past convention and to start planning for next year’s, but first I thought I would drop some hot stats one you from this past June:

This year we had :

Attendees

Games

Gamemasters

And we’re hoping to make next year’s event even bigger.

Otherwise next year’s Artwork is being worked on, and if you scroll to the bottom of this post you’ll see the date for the Fall GamesDay.

If you’d like to help out next year please contact us and I’m sure we find something for you to do. 🙂

So about that mission?

Right! We’re on a mission, to collect and archive ALL of the artwork from PrairieCon over the years, going back to the VERY BEGINNING.

Since Brandon is such a great place (and also because we’re a bunch of sentimental hoarders) we were able to start our project with cover art going all the way back to PrairieCon XIV!

That’s over twenty years of artwork that we already had collected!

But that leaves the hardest ones to find!

So now we’re asking you older gamers out there to dig deep in your personal archives.
Blow off that old Dungeons and Dragons red box, crack open that old copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG or your old box of Car Wars and see if you have any old programs that you can donate or lend to to us so we can take some scan them and add them to our archives.

If you do, then please contact us using that contact page up there.
Or bring it to the next Gamesday or PrairieCon.

OH! And of course, you can check out the Archives Here! We will keep adding to it over time as we get new materials from the past, and of course as the years go forward.

Happy Gaming!
