The Origins event submission date slipped under the radar this year. We can do better.
Maybe you guys can help? I need to get the dates for these conventions that TLG is attending as well as event sumbission and registration dates:
Gamehole (?)
GaryCon (event reg. ends soon)
Origins (Chris said event reg. just ended. When is event registration?)
NTRPG (?)
Those are the cons that TLG will definitely be at. Each year the dates will change and we'll need to update them.
I'd like us to focus on this stuff as a group. Tim and Steve said that we could have people in charge of different regions. Right now I think it would be great if any of you would just like to help keep track of a specific convention.
Promoting events at these conventions requires several steps. One of them is announcing when a convention event submission period is. The second part is telling the community that the event registration is up.
If any of you can help by notifying us of these dates that would really help out. I know some of you already plan to attend these conventions and others. A lot of work goes into promoting these on the Trollnet (Facebook, G+, Twitter, the TLG forum, and this KOTC website.) We need more knights involved in the process.
Eventually we'll be able to list our games here on the site wherever and whenever they will be. That includes cons and FLGS's. But, we will still need to organize the community and get people going to these events. Hopefully some CK's have already set up games at Origins. We'll know for sure once event registration begins.
Looks like we missed the deadline for DragonCon, too
I managed to schedule two games for Origins this year. Open gaming can be done but I think Origins frowns on it. Sometimes it is in the bar area on one end of the con and other years it is near the tabletop area. It is a bit wonky and not nearly so easy as at Garycon.

I'm rallying friends from Cleveland and we will be there at Origins!
I look forward to playing with you guys. I have been playing C&C for a number of years and I am trying to get more active. I've been toying with runnign con and local store games and writing. Time to start...
quithanire, Welcome, how can I sign up for a seat at the gaming table? Please submit your work to Domesday, Issue IX will be here before you know it. Just email me kirk_olsen@lord.com
Event registration for Origins began today. I think one of my events is already full. My first con games, it's going to be an interesting con.
It would be nice if we could get some improptu games in.
