ZotCon!

ZotCon website.

ZotCon is a new endeavor by University of California, Irvine's RPG Club. Its essentially a 1 day mini-con taking place on May 9th. Its partially a blatant attempt to get more members, duh, but its also a day of gaming. Anyone in the Orange County is encouraged to come bask in the spleandor that is a club-held gaming event!

Now to details :).

Among other things, there are two Super Smash Brothers Melee tournaments being held, as well as many RPG's, including a pair of Live Action RPG's.

Two games I can easily recommend are the two Package runs and the Maze game.

Basically the Package runs take place in a city that has closed its borders for some reason, and there is a package that everyone in the game wants to get out of town. Whoever escapes the town with it wins. It sounds simple, but I've played in one. Since you are communicating with the DM through notes, you have no idea what everyone else is doing. Half of the fun is the actual game, and the other half is piecing together what happened afterwards. Character deaths can be quite spectacular :).

The maze game (Halaster’s Mad Maze) is not really a maze. You take a first level character, and he's put into a dungeon. The dungeon essentially consists of a series of rooms, all with traps. With clever traps.

Traps us brainstormers were laughing about :).

Oh, and a sword is being raffled off, and there are some other cool games going on. Anyone in the OC area should really come. It'll be great :).
