Tabletop Games

One more installment of our gaming plans. Our tabletop games will include:

  • Attack Wing
  • X-Wing (demo & tournament)
  • Warhammer & Warhammer 40K

We’ll publish the actual schedule a bit closer to the date–but soon!

And because I like to repeat myself: don’t forget the 24-hour open gaming throughout the event!

Attention, Gamers!

We’re going to start posting the games we have planned for LI-CON 2. Today: Card Games.

We plan to have either tournaments or organized sessions of these games:

  • Buddy Fight
  • Magic the Gathering
  • Red Dragon Inn
  • Van Guard
  • Weiss Schwartz

Remember that we will have a very large game library available 24 hours a day throughout the convention for open (or as I like to call it, “pickup”) gaming in our large game room.

Tomorrow: Role-Playing Games.

Brimstone (Will Kucmierowski) to appear at LI-CON 2!

We’re proud to announce that Brimstone will bring some of his talents to our convention. I’m sure he’ll try to bring them all, but we have only 3 days and he’s an actor, pro wrestler, comic book creator, book publisher, game publisher, sauce and seasoning maker (!) and food show host. We can’t wait to see him.

CARDS AGAINST LI-CON… part deux

Saturday night, come try your luck with our guests, as the audience battles to see who is the most horrible person.

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Each round, one guest asks a question from a Black Card, and participants in the audience answer with their funniest White Card. Play for prizes, play for keeps! Watch our guests struggle for the title of “LI-CON’s most horrible person!”
