VOLUNTEERS

We're looking for volunteers to help with the registration desk and game library.

If you're approved to volunteer, you'll receive free admission for the day you fill a shift. If you fill two shifts on the same day, you get that day and the other free. We will refund any badges already purchased.

We do require that volunteers can meet the expectations for the two positions. Using the convention computer and answering questions regarding the con is required for the registration desk, and we ask that game library attendants have wide familiarity with available board games (but you don't need to know how to play all of them!)

Available shifts are listed here.

You can apply to volunteer here.

BOARD GAMES

This convention is a mix of scheduled events and open gaming. This means you can sign up for an existing event, set up a game at an empty table, or look for an orange cone, which signals that an open space is available at a game someone else is running. If you are interested in running a scheduled board game event, please purchase a badge and then submit an event to be added to the event schedule.

A list of the scheduled games will be announced around Monday, September 16.

ROLEPLAYING GAMES

Most RPGs are handled as scheduled events. This means if you are interested in playing an RPG, you can sign up for an event after it is announced on September 16. If you are interested in running a scheduled RPG event, please submit an event to be added to the event schedule.

BOARD GAME LIBRARY

George Fox University Library helps sponsor this event with a portion of their game library. This is supplemented by various local gamers and members of Hobby Games of Newberg. You are welcome to also bring your own games to play.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

A coffee and hot chocolate bar will be available on both days until 1:30 PM. This is free to all badge holders, courtesy of Bon Appetit Catering.

You may bring food and beverages into the convention space.

If you want to purchase food onsite, you may buy a meal at the Canyon Commons (dine-in only): - Brunch 10am to 1:30pm with a door price of $10.10 for all you care to eat. - Dinner 4:30pm to 7:30pm with a door price of $12.50 for all you care to eat.

Additionally, see below for discounts at local eateries.
