07-24-07, 04:06 PM Crossing Paths at NeonCon 2007

What initially began as a great Dungeons and Dragons, Living Greyhawk convention is now stretching its wings and takes flight as a full fledged gaming convention. Neoncon 2007 (http://www.neoncon.com) will host role-playing, collectible card game, miniature tabletop and board game events. Please join us in making NeonCon's inaugural event a smashing success!

In the tradition of great Living Greyhawk conventions held in Las Vegas in years past, NeonCon includes "Crossing Paths", a Nyrond (http://www.nyrond.org/turbine/page/nyr/)/Pale bordercon. This event features regional scenarios from The Kingdom of Nyrond (http://www.nyrond.org/turbine/page/nyr/) and Theocracy of the Pale (http://www.theocracyofthepale.com/).

Available Games

7 Year 7 Nyrond Scenarios (http://www.nyrond.org/turbine/scenario-list), minis and intros.
7 Year 6/7 Pale Scenarios (http://www.theocracyofthepale.com/scenarios/), an access interactive, minis and intros.

Not from Nyrond or The Pale? Learn more about these Greyhawk regions by visiting our websites:

The Kingdom of Nyrond (http://www.nyrond.org/turbine/page/nyr/)
The Theocracy of the Pale (http://www.theocracyofthepale.com/)

As Crossing Paths is now part of Neoncon, many great games outside of Living Greyhawk are now available as well. Additional RPGA/DCI events are in the works. Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer 40K and Flames of War events have already been confirmed. More events are being added weekly. Visit neoncon.com (http://www.neoncon.com) for regular updates.

Venue and Hotel

NeonCon has reserved a block of rooms specifically for convention attendees. If you would like to come in early or stay after the con, this special convention rate can be used from Wednesday, October 10th through Tuesday, October 16th, 2007. There is a limited number of these room available. Please book you room as early as possible to ensure you get the convention rate.

Booking at this special rate will be available from Tuesday, July 24 through Tuesday, September 11, 2007. You can book a room via the Circus Circus online registration system (http://circuscircus.com) or call 1-877-434-9175. Use group code B10NEO for discounted room rates.

Transportation

Because Las Vegas is one of the top 10 travel destinations in the world, finding a reasonably priced round trip around trip usually pretty easy to do. When booking your flight, you want Las Vegas-McCarran International Airport (LAS).

Community

Hook up with your fellow attendees before the con. Plan your strategy. Find a ride, a room or both. Or, just shoot the breeze. Once you've created an account at neoncon.com (http://www.neoncon.com), just head over to the forum and participate in the growing community.

That's all for now. More details as I have them.

07-25-07, 04:58 PM Sorry to be a n00b but I thought you could only play regional scenarios in the geographic area to which that region corresponds. Nevada is in the Pale. How can they host Nyrond scenarios?

It is a "Bordercon"

07-25-07, 05:20 PM So if you live in El Paso, you can play Bandit Kingdoms or Geoff (everywhere else/Mexico)?

07-25-07, 06:38 PM Each region is allowed a Bordercon once a year.

This year, Nyrond and the Pale are teaming up.

Next year, the Pale might team up with the Duch of Urnst or Nyrond might team up with the County of Urnst.

So this is a special event and an exception to the general rule that regionals have to be played in region.
