Special Gaming Tracks:
Pittsburgh Indie RPG Explosion:
The flame was lit last year but this year we have a bit of a bonfire. We have a great line up of independent RPG's on the schedule this year and enough events in the schedule to keep you busy the entire convention. If you haven�t experienced Indie RPG's, this will be a great opportunity to try a different side of Role Playing. If you have never role played before, Indie games are a great way to explore the hobby. All the events on the schedule do not require any experience and most can be learned in minutes. In addition to having several games on the schedule we will have a library of Indie game systems you can check out during the con to read or start up your own game.
Miniature Events:
We have a good mix of events this year including the return of the ever popular BattleTech Poker Run, the yearly Steel City Meltdown Warmachine event, and several miniature tournaments. The signature event from last year, the massive Star Wars Miniatures Event �The Battle for Hoth" will be returning Friday night only, but we have a brand new Signature multi-player game, "When Sci-Fi World Collide". Check the event listing for all the details.
Board Game Bonanza:
The game library returns and this year it will be bigger than ever. 100�s of games will be available for you to check-out and play, and we will even try to find people to play them with you. Got your own game, that�s fine, just find an open gaming table and set it up. Don�t know how to play board games, not a problem, we will have several demo games that we will teach you the rules for, or we will find one of our board game experts to show the ropes.
RPGA:
All the RPGA LFR events are now scheduled and available for registration. Don't miss out on these exclusive first run events at GASPcon. There are over 40 RPGA events scheduled throughout the weekend. Check out the schedule for complete event listings.
GASPcon Super Spectacular Prize Give Away:
Just like last year, we will have a whole pile of donated gaming goodies to give away. The prizes will be handed out on Sunday at 1:00 PM, and you must be present to win. Check out the full details below on how the raffle will work.
We will hold 2 separate raffles, Gold and Silver. When you arrive at the convention your badge will be marked with either a Gold or Silver sticker based on the following: Pre-Registration � Gold; On Site Registration � Silver
As a "Thank You" to the GASP Knights who have given their time and money to support GASP and GASPcon this year, you will be given a Gold sticker regardless of how you register.
At the time of the raffle we will collect everyone�s badge and put them in one of two buckets, Gold or Silver. We will draw names from the Gold bucket first. Once everyone in the Gold bucket has received a prize we will start drawing names from the Silver bucket until we run out of prizes.
So be sure to pre-register to ensure your place in the Gold raffle.
