An expansion of the ConViction convention hosted by the Pirates of the Plains Fellowship for the past 10 years. This year the convention expands with help of the Ultimate Gamers, the Calgary D&D Meet-up and their major game store sponsor Myth Games.
PLEASE NOTE. DUE TO A VENUE PROBLEM WE HAD TO MOVE THE DATE TO January 14th to 16th, 2011
Myth-a-Con will be held on January 14th to 16th, 2011 at the CALGARY MARLBOROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRE 636 Marlborough Way N.E.
A new community event
The Pirates of the Plains have been running a fall convention for the past 10 years called ConViction. This event was created to support the RPGA (Role-Playing Gamers' Association) events of Living Greyhawk and now Living Forgotten Realms. Their experience in running this event has helped them to build on it and add more new events for the gaming community of Calgary. They approched the Ultimate Gamers to add in miniature tabletop games such as Warhammer Fantasy, 40k, Monsterpocalypse, WarMachine and the smaller skirmish games such as Uncharted Seas, Firestorm Armada, Strange Aeons and Infinity. The Pirates and Ultimate Gamers renamed this convention Myth-a-Con.
More games for everyone!
As we expand the convention our goal is to maintain quality of events as well as ensure that there is something for everyone. Here are some of the expanded events in the Table Top line up:
- Warhammer Fantasy Team tournament
- Warhammer 40k Team tournament
- WarMachine SteamRoller
- WarMachine Mangled Metal team up
- Firestorm Armada 775 point event
- Uncharted Seas 775 point event
- Infinity 300 point tournament
- 40k Apocalypse Event
- WHFB Legendary Battles Event
- Blood Bowl
- Classic Battle Tech
For those Role-Players out there we have not forgotten what made ConViction such a success. More than just RPGA events we are including:
- A 3 Round D&D Open tournament (teams of 5)
- A 5v5 "Monty Haul" event.
- StarWars mini adventure
- ShadowRun events
- Pathfinder RPG
- more to come when we get judges in place.
What else is in the works
We have interest from several other communities to add events so as long as we have space and volunteers to run them we are working on adding:
- Hero Clix
- Strange Aeons Demos
- Malifaux Demos
