ArcaniCon 2014 Final Announcement

Ladies and gentlemen, Arcaniacs all,

We are currently 2 months and 1 day out from the beginning of ArcaniCon 2014, and we are facing a particular conundrum. First, the good news: We still have some spots available for players, but they are becoming very scarce. If you haven’t preregistered, the link is as follows:

We *cannot* guarantee a seat to anyone who doesn’t pre-register by February 8th, since we need the time to ensure we have enough judges, and though I would absolutely hate to have to turn anyone away, it is a possibility.

Now, the less good news: Despite having lots of players, we don’t currently have enough room nights booked to make this feasible. In order to pull this off, we need at least some of the people attending to actually book rooms. If you haven’t done so yet and plan to, please do so. According to our registration list, there’s only 11 people who have actually booked their rooms out of 21 who plan to do so. The deadline for guaranteeing the cheap rate is February 7th, and we need to know by then how many we have so we know whether we are comped the meeting rooms or we have to cover it out of pocket.

I’m really looking forward to this one, and I think you guys will have a lot of fun with some of the stuff I have planned. Oh, and Henry’s writing a new Hard Point to premiere at the event too.

Schedule
Thursday, March 6th – Evening – Open Library (if there are enough players & a willing GM)
Friday, March 7th – 8:00AM – Open Library
Friday, March 7th – 1:30PM – New Soft Point
Friday, March 7th – 7:00PM – New Hard Point

Saturday, March 8th – Midnight – Official final end of the event
Sunday, March 9th – Any time – Open Library, incl. New Soft Point or Hard Point if missed earlier

The main event will indeed be up to 16 hours long, with multiple planned breaks, interesting experimental mechanics, cool special missions, a mini BI (2 hours max), a mini LARP (1.5 hours max), and plenty of opportunity to explore a sprawling First Imperium fortress containing many secrets. A second teaser is forthcoming soon.
