If you’re the kind of person interested in scifi conventions, I’m the gaming director of a convention called Hypericon on the weekend of June 19-21 in Nashville. It’s currently only $30 for weekend, which includes access to a con suite with great food for the weekend.
If you’re interested, and wish to get a hotel room, I’d hurry though. The room block closes on the 28th (next week), and the room rates will go up.
As an added bonus, you’ll get a chance to heckle me as I pretend to be a gun expert! I’m going to do a panel covering some of the real guns that have shown up in scifi shows (think the broom handled Mauser that Lucas used for Han’s blaster, or the Beretta Cx4 that was used as the marine battle riffle in the Battlestar Galactica reboot). By the way, does anyone remember the name of the show that used Nerf guns as props?
Should be a good time, and if enough gun folks show up, I might be persuaded to run off to the range at some point.
Is there an event schedule, or is it just open gaming? For that matter, is there a schedule for the con in general?
The gaming part is open gaming for the most part, although there will be Pathfinder demos running on Sunday.
The schedule for panels has been mostly set, but like most of these types of the conventions, will not be officially released until very near the con.
“battle riffle”
BWAHAHHAHAHAH!
Wasn’t the show Terra Nova?
