Game Masters who sign up to host 12 or more hours of games over the weekend will be granted Pro Game Master status, giving you access to everything our other Norwescon Pros get! Plus, sign up to run games before November 15, 2012, and your name will be printed in all publications where we announce the scheduled games.

Who is DJ TOX2MUCH? https://www.norwescon.org/2012/03/28/who-is-dj-tox2much/ https://www.norwescon.org/2012/03/28/who-is-dj-tox2much/#comments Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:00:03 +0000 Norwescon Special Events https://www.norwescon.org/?p=1267 The mysterious Norwescon DJ veteran DJ TOX2MUCH has quietly laid in stasis preparing for the time the world would need him once more. That time has now come as he brings the MasterMix Café back for one singular special event, Friday from 9pm-2am at Maxi’s. 21+ with ID and con badge. The more you drink, the better he sounds.

He brings with him his patented retro swing through fannish favorites all night long. This will be totally old skool; close confidant Keith Johnson says the enigmatic DJ promises all the things you came to expect from his 20 years of dances. The hits, the special mixes, the surprises, the talking–it’s all there! Yes, including the infamous “Experiment in Terror.”

When pressed for details, TOX2MUCH would only say, “Ladies and Gentlemen, take your positions please! The Istan bull is time warping Major Tom something good. Dare to be stupid because we can (can). Never trust a Star Trekkin’ Klingon, it’ll make ya wanna shout!”

Babelfish was unable to provide a proper translation.

Munchkin, Pathfinder, D&D, Magic, and a whole lot more will be running throughout the convention. Take a look and see what sort of games catch your eye!

And, of course, if for some strange reason none of those seems quite right, our open gaming will be open on both floors of the Rotunda all weekend long!

Scheduled Gaming Update https://www.norwescon.org/2011/11/03/scheduled-gaming-update/ https://www.norwescon.org/2011/11/03/scheduled-gaming-update/#comments Thu, 03 Nov 2011 17:16:23 +0000 Norwescon Special Events https://www.norwescon.org/?p=774 This is to anyone interested in the happenings of the Scheduled Gaming at Norwescon 35. So far this year we have scheduled a variety of games including:

Cthulhu Tech RPG, Poo The Card Game, Nuts!, The Impossible Machine, Hecho, Cambria, Hibernia, Globalization, The Target, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Cutthroat Caverns, Cleopatra, 7 Wonders, Dominion, Mansions of Madness, Elder Sign, Dominant Species, Kingsburg, Stoneage, Battlelore, and Memoir ’44.

As you can see we are starting to see some action lined up for the spring. I’ve set up a registration form on the Norwescon Website for game registration, if you are interested in running games sign up through that portal. — If you know anyone who runs miniature war games, I was told people were disappointed to not see many over the last few years.

If you are interested in being on Gaming staff for this year let me know. I will be investigating expanding offerings and spaces are changing, more on that later.

Thanks,
Alan Bond
Scheduled Games Head for Norwescon 35
