Welcome to Living Forgotten Realms at AnCon 2010

Preregistration has now closed and warhorn is now locked.  However, we will be able to make any additions and changes onsite.

Once again, we are pleased to offer Dungeons and Dragons Living Forgotten Realms at AnCon 2010. This event is for new players as well as the experienced and this year is planning to be bigger and better then ever.

This year, we plan to offer the Battle Interactive (formally ADCP 2-1 The Paladins' Plague). This adventure was first intrduced at DDXP and we are proud to be offering it at AnCon. This adventure is primarly combat intensive and allows tables to interact with each other. Further it is offered for characters level 1-17! The more that play, the better this one gets.

A QUICK NOTE ON WAIT LISTED PLAYERS:  As always, it is our goal to have EVERY player play.  We do have judges on call and many of the judges have said they will volunteer more time to make sure the players can play.  Further, some players even said they will pitch in if more judges are needed.  Although it appears we are full, we usually can handle more.

A QUICK NOTE ON ADVENTURES NOT RELEASED: You will see an alternate adventure code listed. If the adventure does not get released by the RPGA, the alternate will run. However, I understand you may want to play something else. We have created a Yahoo group to allow the players to discuss their wishes. If the majority are in agreement, we will use the suggestion you give us and have the judge prepair the adventure you selected. The yahoo group is http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/AnCon2010LFR/ I AM ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS.  This is not my convention, it is our convention and I want everybody to be happy.

Also this year, we hope to have the Dungeon Delve. This is a 1 hour long event that is basically timed combat. Your are given a character and you and the rest of the players must complete two combat encounters within the one hour time limit. Every time you play, you are given tokens that are good for various prizes. The best part, you don't need to preregister for the event. You purchase your ticket and as soon as there are five people and a table available, you start.

Now that the introduction is done, lets get to answering all the questions you may have:

What is AnCon?

AnCon is a game convention held at the Clarion Inn in Hudson Ohio. This location is right off the Ohio Turnpike and near I-77. This year will be its third run. It's main web site is www.anothergamecon.com. This game convention is family friendly and has much to offer.

What is Living Forgotten Realms?

As described by Wizards of the Coast, Living Forgotten Realms is a Massive shared world campaign. Basically, it allows you to create a character and play that character anywhere they are playing Living Forgotten Realms. For more information regarding Living Forgotten Realms, click here.

What is Pathfinder Society?

Pathfinder Society is the organized game system created by Paizo for the Pathfinder Game (which some simply call D&D 3.75).  For more information, visit their web site.

How do I register for AnCon?

AnCon preregistration is now closed.  However, you can register onsite and still be able to play games.

How do I register to play in individual Living Forgotten Realms Events?

Preregistration to play Living Forgotten Realms and Pathfinder events is now closed.  However, you can register to play at the convention itself.  Just visit our headquarters.

What is the cost to play each event?

The cost to play any four hour long LFR event is $2.00. (The eight hour Battle Interractive will be $4.00). This will be collected at the show before you play your first LFR event.

I don't have an RPGA, DCI, or Pathfinder number, how do I get one?

I can issue you a number at the show. If you believe you already have a number and no longer know what it is, you can email me(frank@mstb.net) and I will look it up.

What is the age limit to play Living Forgotten Realms or Pathfinder?

That is a tough question. Living Forgotten Realms stories are made to be family friendly. With that said, sometimes the stories can be a bit on the violent side. Think Lord of the Rings movies, they are family friendly, but still PG-13. Therefore, I recommend an age of 13 and over to play. However, I have seen 10 year olds play the game with no problem. You are the parrent and know the limits of your children.

Kids under the age of 13 must have parrent permission to play regardless.

I have a group and we want to play some specific events. Can that be arrainged?

YES, ABSOLUTELY. Please email me directly and I can get your group in. I can do this even at the convention but understand, the preregistered participants come first. My email address is frank@mstb.net. I will place the events you want on the schedule and assign a judge for them. Obviously there are some limiatations but that can be discussed.

What is LFR Open Play and LFR Late Night?

LFR Open Play and Late Night allows a group of 4-6 players and a judge to choose what adventure they wish to play. I have all the adventures released by the RPGA at the convention so you choose what you wish to play. Once everybody agrees, the judge gets the adventure and runs it for the table. This way, if you want to play something not offered, you can still play.

I signed up, what next:

It is important that you arrive at your event before your start time. It is recommended that you arrive 30 minutes before your start time. You check in at HQ and they will tell you what table to go to. At 10 minutes before start time, anyone on the wait list and walk-ins may register for the event to fill out the tables. A PREREGISTERD PLAYER WILL BE TREATED AS A WALKIN IF THEY DO NOT ARIVE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF THE EVENT.

Want to be a Judge?

Players who want to be a judge can request this by email to frank@mstb.net. Give us as much detail about yourself. Include AT LEAST the following information: Name, Age, How long you have been playing D & D, How long you have been playing LFR, How long you have been playing 4th edition. Also include your address, and telephone number. Don't worry if you have no experience judging. For everything, there is a first time. Currently, we have enought judges for AnCon 2010. However, with the number of people attending, we may need some more judges once we get to the show. So, feel free to report to RPGA HQ to volunteer to judge.

Once you have been accepted to judge, you will need to give us your availability for the convention and your shirt size. Details will be handled over the phone.

We also accept new judges on site.

Our organization also does Con on the Cob 2010. I will need judges for that. We are also trying to work with other conventions as well. There will be details as these come up.

I have more questions. Who can I contact?

You can me directly at frank@mstb.net. I will be happy to answer your questions.
