After 12 years, it is tempting to assume that everyone knows what to expect from your hometown gaming convention. But what if you’ve never been? Are you con-curious? Let’s look at the basic convention experience that comes with your standard day or weekend pass.
Our philosophy has always been “one fee” at the door. That is, once you’re in the gate, indulging in the features and events at the con incurs no additional costs – with a very few noted exceptions. For gamers, this means you get access to our online schedule and can sign up for any games you like, you can sit and play at any table with available seats for participants, you can borrow games from our game library and check out something new or share an old favorite with your friends, or you can add games to our schedule or bring something to play. We have open tables for pick-up games, and some folks will put up signage indicating that they looking for players.
With your TsunamiCon badge, you are eligible for our Play-To-Win program. You can sample our selection of Play-To-Win games and enter to win a copy during closing ceremonies.
Explore some of our favorite features at the con! Join the Dungeon o’ Doooooooom and pitch sword-first into the jaws of a deadly 3D dungeon delve, fighting your way toward the evil at the heart of the dungeon and likely dying numerous times along the way! Check out the Paint and Take, where our expert painters can help you select and paint a miniature to take home. And of course, we have vendors! With all manner of gaming products and related geekery.
And this is just the beginning. Our team is working hard behind the scenes to add more value to your convention experience, including panels, tournaments, and live entertainment! And if you have ideas you’d like to share, let us know! TsunamiCon is nothing without our excellent and devoted gaming community, and we work every year to build this thing together!
Right now we’re raising funds to cover our venue costs, and you can help by pledging to purchase your ticket via our Kickstarter campaign. Not only does this get you signed up in advance and helps you stay in the loop, but the deals for badges and merch on the Kickstarter page are the best prices available!
I’ll see you at the con!
