ISLAND DICE – A NEW tabletop game of strategy, luck, and DICE. Survive the players, the island, and the DICE. This is your chance to play it before it’s published.
We’ll have 3 sessions of Island Dice, and each session can have multiple tables. And a good time will be had by all.
LI-CON is happy to announce our first four dealers. More to come soon.
Award-winning writer of both fiction and non-fiction, TV and radio personality, and Fordham professor Paul Levinson has agreed to appear at LI-CON.
Oh, and we’re hoping that Paul will also perform some of his music. Did we mention he’s also a musician?
There is much more to come on Gaming, but I thought I’d let you in on a few things … like a Texas Hold ’em Tourney. And 2 Call of Cthulhu games. And a big, all-expansions Settlers of Catan game. Or maybe the gigantic Red Dragon Inn game?
Details will be appearing soon, but I thought I’d get your attention first.
Saturday night, March 29th, get ready to croon your heart out to your favorite J-pop, J-rock, Anime, and other geeky tunes. You can bring your own music files, or check out our selection! Want to show off your para-para skills, or do the robot? You can stay awhile or just drop in on the festivities. It’s time to get your geek on Long Island!
