I have no idea where on ENworld is the appropriate place to pimp our local RPG conventions, so mods please pop this baby where its most appropriate.
POLYCON
PolyCon XXX - Islands of PolyCon
San Luis Obsipo (halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco)
June 22nd - June 24th, 2012
PolyCon is a very cool college convention that draws about 300 gamers for the past 30 years.
The con is held in the University Union building and its a nice large gaming space with private RPG rooms. The selection of games is surprisingly eclectic and there are many talented GMs. Lots of boardgames, LARPS, and minis gaming too!
This year's Guest of Honor is SHANE HENSLEY who wrote Deadlands, Savage Worlds and works on the MMO City of Heroes. The boardgame designer Tom Jolly (a very cool dude) lives in the area and shows at the cons.
As usual, I run 4 events. This year I am running my "sequel" to Prometheus using Stars Without Number, a big crazy Tunnels & Trolls event and my 12th anniversary of running Mutant Chronicles to the con weary on Sunday morning.
The con begins midday on Friday and ends midday on Sunday with a big raucous auction. It's a great atmosphere because PolyCon manages to be both well organized, yet informal and laid back. No small feat.
On Saturday night, they have a free BBQ (with veggie kabobs) to thank all the attendees. Guests often bring donations for the BBQ too and they will cook them up for you.
The San Luis Obispo area is great for family vacations too. You can easily sent the fam off to Hearst Castle, the beautiful beaches of Pismo, San Simeon and Morro Bay, the 300 wineries, the Avila hot springs and fabulous hiking trails across the county while you toss dice all day.
