Mar. 26-28: Gryphcon - Guelph, Ontario
Location: University of Guelph, University Center. 50 Stone Road East
Gryphcon has a long and proud history of bringing gaming to the people of Guelph and South-Western, Ontario. The first con was in 1988 and the co-creators were GAGA (Guelph Adult Gamers Association) and the University of Guelph Games Club. The Games Club was originally responsible for running the role-playing sessions and GAGA looked after the board gaming sessions. Three of the original board games played were Ogre Demolition (a modified version of Ogre), World in Flames (a recreation of WWII on a tabletop) that ran the whole weekend and Supremacy. There was also a great Battletech tournament that weekend. We also ran one of the first Cyberpunk tournaments in the area. Over the years the popularity of board games decreased and role-playing became the main focus for the convention and so GAGA let the games club take over. The games club has since increased the convention to include role-playing games of all genres. While Gryphcon is focused primary on role playing games, it is contin

July 2-4: InConJunction 30 - Indianapolis, Indiana
Location: Indianapolis Marriott East, 7202 East 21st Street
This is a fan-run, not-for-profit general science fiction and fantasy convention with a strong focus on our literary roots. As for whether it's like other cons you've been to, probably in some ways and not in others, depending on what type of convention you've been to. There are many other fan-run conventions with which we would share a great deal. However, a lot of cons nowadays-- especially those that are for-profit and run by big organizations-- focus almost exclusively on media guests and have only a couple of things happening at any one time, mostly panels with the big-name guests and autograph/photo sessions. InConJunction, on the other hand, tries to have something for everyone-- with panels on writing, movies and television, comic books, art work, science, technology, culture, fandom, and many other things. At most times, there will be two to four panels going at the same time, giving you plenty of choices. If there's not a panel you're interested in, we als
