that Web page is realy realy blank for a con thats less then 30 days out
http://www.epiccon.com/philadelphia-2011/
Other then Heroclixs you realy can't see anything else going on....
I hope the con goes well.

Thanks for the con link. It has key information that Wiz Kids left out. Like where it is (Philly convention center) and what it costs to get in (free, which is great since parking is... Not).

Why is there a Heroclix Online picture in the main post? I don't mean to be a dink or anything and I know this is probably coming off as such, but I thought there was going to be something said about HCO in the thread and nothing was there. (Unless I am SUPER blind and missed it having skimmed it twice.)

There is a link to the convention page in the actual article that didn't come through when it was auto-reposted here (via RSS I presume).

I've no idea why that pic came through rather than the one actually associated with the article. I can only imagine the RSS feed (or however the Realms gets these auto-updates) is the culprit.

Everybody knows that the realms gets these updates from Skynet and that this is the first sign of impending doom...

Print & Play are not good participation prizes. Anyone can print them.

There certainly are a lot of people looking to get full sets of them for them to be "Not good prizes"

I don't know if you have any or have seen them, but they are a lot better quality than the actual cards that Wizkids had made and put in packs for the past several years they were doing it.

You are welcome to send me any of the cards you receive at the con then

Does winning the 2012 Worlds qualification mean winning into Saturday (at Gencon) only?

That is my assumption.

Sure pays to live on the East Coast. Geez. Any west coast love available? Say Wonder-Con in Anaheim next year?

This is the benefit of Wiz Kids being located in New Jersey.

Plus, east coast stuff is always better attended. Something in Philly can draw players from all over the place.

Not that LA is lacking in people, mind you. You are just unlikely to get folks driving from out of state.

What are the 5 Convention prizes?
