Hey all, most of you probably haven't heard of Cancon before so I'll give you a quick rundown.
The Canberra Games Convention (Cancon for short) is the largest games convention in the southern hemisphere. Drawing in an average crowd of 2000 people over the three day event, and thats just the people participating in games, that number has been known to double when including non-participants who are there to shop at the sweet vender's stalls. Mostly a wargames event, Cancon however also holds board games, card games, and role-playing events as well. Held every Australia Day long weekend at the end of january Cancon has been known to draw an international crowd from as far as Canada, the US and Europe. Events and comps do have participation fees but the con as a whole is free to enter, look around and shop.
Cancon is held at EPIC each year, Canberra's largest exibition park and convention center. So if you're interested come down to Australia for an awesome three day gaming weekend.
Now, having said all that, some of us here in the land of OZ are looking at running a Malifaux event at Cancon. We understand that the new Rising Powers book will include Tourney rules or the like, but we're also wondering if Wyrd have any advise for such an event or would be willing to put their support behind it?
A few friends and myself have been playing for a few months now and have latched on to this awesome game with tooth and nail. Recently though we discovered that our local community has quite the growing Malifaux following and we all wait eagerly for Wyrds latest releases.
Thanks for reading my speel.
