For the 19th year in a row, the UCon game convention in southeast Michigan will have a track of Tekumel games. I’ve volunteered to organize the track. So far we have 3 gms running 5 Tekumel games, and there are still more folks that I’m hoping to hear from. Maybe you?
This year the con runs from Friday morning through Sunday evening, November 17-19. Same location as the last few years, "The Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest Golf Resort” (yes, that’s really what it is called).
Convention homepage:
https://www.ucon-gaming.org/Event registration is open! Please submit your events in the next few weeks. Pre-registration will open some time in September, and it would be great to have all the Tekumel games in before that happens. After you submit them on the website, please drop me a note and let me know what your plans are. As track organizer, I can advise the con staff on scheduling, that’s about the extent of my powers, but I need to know what you want.
To qualify for a GM’s Badge (which gives you free con registration), you’ll need to run at least 6 hours worth of events. The usual rpg slots are four hours, so either run two rpg sessions (they can be the same game twice, no problem), or get creative and run a 2 hour board game or discussion or something. I’m happy to talk ideas if needed. Of course you don’t have to run Tekumel events, you could run something else and just play Tekumel, but what would your clan elders think of such ignominious conduct? Strive for glory and bring honor to your clan! Run Tekumel events at UCon!
