Vet-Con 2024 Date and Times

Date and Times

The Con will be at the Holiday Inn Express on Hwy 49 in Auburn, CA .

Veteran's Day is Monday the 11th of November, hence, the convention will run as follows -

Friday the 8th - 4 PM - when we're done.
Saturday the 9th - 9 AM - when we're done.
Sunday the 10th - 9 AM - when we're done.

These times are contingent on how many games we have going and at what times. I will adjust the times as the Schedule of Events comes together.

I am reserving Monday for a travel day since so many of you said you wanted another day. Hopefully travel home on the holiday won't be too bad. 

Games will be listed as they are scheduled on the Schedule of Events page. I reserve the right to make adjustments as necessary for a balanced schedule. I will notify you prior to making any changes to the schedule. Remember to keep checking this site for updates. The last day to register a game is October 31st.

Convention rooms:

There are two convention rooms, the Sierra and the Auburn Terrace.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the third 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 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, or good old hard cash at the event. Early payments help secure the event. Contact me at my contact info below if you would like to pay electronically and I will provide you with my information or just bring cash to the con. I will also be able to take 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. 

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.
