Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the fourth annual VetCon Miniature Gaming Convention in the beautiful Gold Rush town of Auburn, CA. This wildly successful event validated my desire to bring back the good old days of some great conventions like ViciCon - and to have a convention by miniature gamers, for miniature gamers.

I want to host a convention where the costs will not be a contributing factor, hence,  this year the convention will have a nominal fee of $25 to cover expenses. The increase is to cover table rentals.
This can be paid through Venmo, PayPal, Zelle (see below for links), or good old hard cash at the event. Early payments help secure the event and will provide you with an added bonus, see below. I will also be able to take credit cards at the event, as I will have Square there as well.

-PLEASE REGISTER NOW-

Please register for the con through the link on the right. You don't need to pay to register, but I do need you to register so I know I have enough attendees to host the event. 

-NEW FOR THIS YEAR!-

You have asked, and I have listened. You wanted to be able to pre-register for games, so I will be adding a feature for you to do just that. To pre-register for a game(s), however, you must have registered for the convention and paid your paltry $25 entrance fee. This will help me so that I don't have to be busy taking money at the door, and it gives you all an incentive to register and pay early.

Although I made this a miniatures convention, primarily a historical gaming convention, you can host a sci-fi or fantasy-based game.

I hope this is a huge success and will continue to lead to further conventions down the line. Finally, the focus is to get together with friends, many of whom I have been gaming with for 40+ years, and have fun. To this end, please be courteous and respectful. Ask GM's if they need assistance tearing down, bring rulers or tape measures, and above all, don't be a Richard. Players displaying poor behavior will be asked to leave. As the saying goes, "If you build it, they will come," and come, I hope you do.

Oh! Did I mention the Bring and Buy? Bring your excess wargaming items, and there will be tables set up for you to display your items all weekend for free! Just place your name and phone number on a piece of paper so people can reach out to you while you're hosting or playing in a game to close the deal.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and having some fun.
