OrcCon

OrcCon is the President's Day gaming convention in Los Angeles hosted annually in February by the Strategicon organization. Attendance over the past 25+ years has been over 1000 gamers playing over 400 RPGs, CCGs, board games, miniatures, LARPS and many other events across the 4 day weekend of fun.

Orccon 2011 features the chance to meet elite of the gaming world. Play a game with Bruno Faldutti, French sociologist and historian, and coincidentally designer of some amazing games, including Ad Astra, Mission: Red Planet, and Citadels. Rub elbows with legend Rodger B. MacGowan, who has worked on the designs of over 250 war games and is currently the publisher of C3i Magazine. Get gaming tips from Justin Gary, former 17-year-old Magic-the-Gathering National Champion turned game designer, with his company's most recently released game, Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer.

If you'd rather play games than meet game designers, have no fear. The weekend is jam-packed with tournaments and special gaming events. Sun Mesa will host a series of Magic the Gathering events throughout the weekend with great prizes. Marvel VS. Capcom 3 will deliver the best ever match up of legendary fighters and no holds barred fighting action. Get set for the ultimate face-off when Marvel VS.
