If you try to enter the Diplomacy tournament at Origins through the online schedule, there's a slight problem.
Each round is listed separately, and has its own registration entry - and its own 140-person limit - and its own $8 entry fee.  Hopefully, everybody who wants to enter will realize that they only have to enter one of them.

Hey all,

I have decided to run a House Con at my new house this year. I do not have time to organize things in Vancouver this summer so everyone is welcome to come to my house and game, eat drink and sit in my new hot tub. I am sure Nathan can come up with a hot tub variant! LOL

Any ways keep the weekend of 15 -17 Aug open. There are 6 bedrooms in the house so lots of room for people to stay and play. The ...<< MORE >>
