We will also have 12 Brushbot kits on hand for younger kids to make. For others that are interested in getting started with robotics, we will have 5 special Arduino based robot kits available for $35 and we will even show you how to get them going.

Note: If you wish to build one of the 5 robot kits, bringing a laptop is recommended, but not required. We will have a few computers set up for programming robots, but space may be limited.

If you are already a robot guru and want to bring your robot to show off, send us a message at RobotFair@Norwescon.org and tell us all about it. Or, simply come down to Grand Ballroom 3 on Sunday, April 20th from 10 a.m. to noon.

1. This year, we will have games specifically geared for younger players.

2. In group games, experienced players and younger players will be teamed up.

3. In years past, the lighting in the Lazer Tag Arena has been on full (all lights on) for safety. This year, the lights will be dimmed after the first familiarization game. Other lighting will be used to enhance the game environment. The new lighting will be used as long as the players are playing safely. If the players become unsafe, the full lights will come back on.

The event will be held on Sunday, March 31st, 2013 from 10 am–2 pm. If you know of a non-profit that we should be contacting please let us know. We hope to provide a variety of organizations table space to communicate with our membership. Please contact us with ideas.

Please feel free to contact special events at specialevents@norwescon.org for additional information. Thank you!

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.

For more information and for our online registration form, please head over to our gaming page!

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.

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!

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
