Latest updates on our Weblog

Gaming has a weblog. This journal will kept up-to-date by our gaming coordinator.

Gaming at Worldcon!

Yes, there will be gaming at Worldcon!

Worldcon gaming will take place at the Hilton, in the Pacific Ballroom.

Badges!

You do NOT need a full Worldcon membership to participate in the gaming only section of the event. Those with Worldcon memberships have unlimited access to gaming and the rest of the convention. But those who only want to game do not need to pay full price. You can buy a Gaming Only membership.

Gaming Only Badges are Priced as follows:

$20 per day
$50 for the entire convention

YES you CAN upgrade a gaming badge to a Worldcon badge if you want to enjoy the rest of the convention later on!

What type of Gaming?

Board Games, Role-playing Games, RPGA, Miniatures, Live Action Role-playing, and more are currently being scheduled. As we get closer to the convention the scheduling details will be provided here. So check this space for more details!

Come on... can't you give me SOME idea of what's going on?

Okay. In the LARP arena we intend to have a Vampire based LARP as well as a Combat Oriented LARP.

For Board Games several game companies such as Steve Jackson Games will be running many events.

Warhammer Miniatures as well as Upper Deck Entertainment will be out, running several old and new games for your gaming pleasure!

Game Masters!

We need Game Masters, people to run games, who have a passion for games, or just like blowing up hapless PCs in their dungeons. If you want to run some games and events please contact me directly at gaming.

Those who run 8 hours of gaming gets badge that allows you access to the gaming events at Worldcon. Those who run 24 hours of gaming are eligible for a full Worldcon membership and access to the entire convention.

Contact Ira Ham at gaming if you are interested in running events and for more details.


There will definitely be plenty of Gaming at L.A.con IV. Perhaps more (and more different kinds) than there's ever been at a Worldcon before. Things are still in the planning stages and we're hoping for something special to come through that will make it all possible.

We've got big plans. We just don't know yet if we can carry them out. So keep your fingers crossed and watch this space (and the Progress Reports) for news on our plans for tournaments, possible prize competitions, premieres, LARPs, etc.
