From u/Grenlar:

Let me add a little bit about CNY RPG Con. Last year was the first year and it was a huge success. This year is already shaping up to be even better. Its a full weekend convention starting on Friday with a single afternoon game slot and then the evening there will be a showing of Conan the Barbarian in the main banquet hall with free popcorn and a meet & greet.

Saturday is all day gaming with an evening RPG auction including all kinds of gaming books, board games, and hand painted terrain and miniature sets.

Sunday is morning and afternoon gaming as well as basket raffles that you can buy tickets for all weekend.

The special guests include:

Erik Tenkar from Tenkar's Tavern
Greg Gillespie from Dragonslayer RPG and Barrowmaze
Joe Bloch of BRW Games
DM Bluddworth from Unscripted and Unchained RPG Reviews
Brian Shutter from Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland
Jason Vey from Amazing Adventures and 13 Parsecs
Matthew Tapp from Barrows & Borderlands
Jay Scott (Lord Gosumba) from his Greyhawk Youtube channel
Tiffany Rose Nickel (Fantasy Author)

There will also be a great selection of vendors such as Thunderstruck Workshop (hand painted terrain), Troll Den Painting (miniatures), Emperor's Choice Games and MIniatures (products in the Arduin Universe)>

There will be local comic, gaming, and bookstores on site such as Treehouse Reading and Arts, Dream Castle Gaming, and Ravenwood comics. All special guests and vendors from last year have returned as well as a whole host of new ones. There are currently 21 total vendors on site this year.

It's a great weekend of gaming for as little as $40 for the whole weekend. The convention takes place in the two main ballrooms as well as some open hall areas in the hotel so everything is on site. There is a fantastic hotel block making it a very inexpensive weekend stay if your out of the area and the hotel did an amazing job last year.

Come on our and support this local convention in its 2nd year, meet new gamers in the area, and just have a great time.
