LI-CON welcomes Richard Herr! We’ll be having a contest to find something Richard hasn’t done on Sunday. (No, we won’t. It would be too hard to win.)

Register for LI-CON and win a medieval tournament!
OK, we can’t guarantee that you will win an actual jousting match, but everyone who registers for LI-CON between now (July 27) and the end of pre-registration (Midnight, July 31) will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of tickets to Medieval Times. These tickets include dinner plus an evening’s entertainment. So sign up for LI-CON now and get a chance to win! Purchase multiple memberships and get more than one chance! If you sign up for the Family Pack, that will mean 4 entries in the raffle.
Get 100 memberships! 1000! OK, maybe that’s over the top.
If you have already registered, please tell your friends–this is a great offer that should not be missed.
The drawing and the announcement of the winner will be announced at the convention. The winner will be the owner of the credit card or PayPal account used to pay for the membership, not necessarily the person named on the membership.
Join early and often! Medieval Times await!
Another X-Wing Tournament
I’m excited to announce that our Gaming crew now plans to hold two X-Wing tournaments at LI-CON 2. (Maybe we’ll do 3 at LI-CON 3? Who knows?)
Stay tuned for the gaming schedule, coming soon!
Tabletop Games
One more installment of our gaming plans. Our tabletop games will include:
- Attack Wing
- X-Wing (demo & tournament)
- Warhammer & Warhammer 40K
We’ll publish the actual schedule a bit closer to the date–but soon!
And because I like to repeat myself: don’t forget the 24-hour open gaming throughout the event!
Role-Playing Games
Continuing to update you on our gaming schedule: we will have scheduled sessions of
-
Dragon Age RPG
-
Iron Kingdoms
-
Pathfinder Society
More may follow.
Don’t forget, we will have open gaming 24 hours a day throughout the convention.
Attention, Gamers!
We’re going to start posting the games we have planned for LI-CON 2. Today: Card Games.
We plan to have either tournaments or organized sessions of these games:
-
Buddy Fight
-
Magic the Gathering
-
Red Dragon Inn
-
Van Guard
-
Weiss Schwartz
Remember that we will have a very large game library available 24 hours a day throughout the convention for open (or as I like to call it, “pickup”) gaming in our large game room.
Tomorrow: Role-Playing Games.
Hotel Rooms
Just a friendly reminder: we have only a limited number of hotel rooms available at the convention rate. If you’d like to stay at the Clarion, now is the time to reserve.
LOSERS: Don't believe the title, it's a winner!
LI-CON is proud to announce that we will be screening Losers, a Wizard World (2014) selection. We will also be hosting Writer/Director Carlos del Rosario and some crew members to discuss the film and sign autographs.
Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see this loving tribute to pop culture, and meet some of the creators.
Devo Spice!
LI-CON welcomes comedy-rapper Devo Spice. Enjoy his unique stylings as he joins our amazingly strong roster of performers.
Help us pick something to riff!
One of the most popular things at LI-CON 1 was our own Katrina and Izaac riffing on SyFy’s Sharknado.
This time around, the team would like your help selecting short subjects to work on. Anything suggested must have a license that lets us modify and use the video, so either Public Domain or compatible Creative Commons licenses. Note that we’re a charitable corporation [501(c)(3)], so commercial licensing is not required.
Katrina suggests looking in the Prelinger Archive (https://archive.org/details/prelinger) as a starting point, but there are lots of other sources of free-license video out there.
Reminder: because they want to offer variety this year, please suggest only short videos, say under 30 minutes. Shorter videos are more likely to be selected.
Send your suggestions to riffs@li-con.org.
Thanks!
