Save the date for PrinceCon 37, March 16-18, 2012

There was peace in Ockham.

There was peace in Ockham, until the invaders came.  No one knows precisely where they came from, or precisely what they want, but several countries have already been subjugated.  Strangely, there appear to be several sets of invaders, and each has conquered a separate territory.  In one, the invaders possess magic weapons beyond our ken that discharge deadly beams of light; in another, tentacled horrors roam the land and drive the populace mad; in yet another, savagery rules the day.  

Worse, the invaders’ views of the how the world works seems to be contagious.  Priests entering one of the conquered areas renounce their gods; in another, mighty heroes put aside their swords; yet another, even the most refined nobility dresses in rags and is reduced to cannibalism. 

But there is hope: the few who can resist the thrall of the invading Realities are now gathering at Hireling Hall.  Join them on March 16, 2012 at McCosh 50 on Princeton University’s campus to repel this threat!

PrinceCon 37 will be held March 16-18, 2012 on the Princeton University Campus.  Registration begins at 3pm; first runs go out at 5pm.  The Simulation Games Union’s annual convention consists of tabletop roleplaying in a shared world, centered around a common goal. Rules are a variation of the Open-Gaming version (3.5SRD) of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, incorporating many ideas developed over the years by the SGU. Admission is $20, free to Princeton University undergraduates. Certificates are awarded for Strategic, Tactical and Role Playing excellence.

Regular updates on the theme will be posted at the Google group (http://groups.google.com/group/princecon). Also see the website for directions (http://princecon.org/pcon37/).
