Game Bundles for Charity

I wanted to bring attention to two bundles full of games for different charities to support on the indie platform Itch.io.

The first is one to raise money to help during the war in Ukraine. 736 creators are offering up 998 table-top RPGs, computer games, music, game development tools, comics, books, and more for a donation as low as $10. The money raised will be split between International Medical Corps and Voices of Children.

Two days left to help them reach their goal of $6,000,000. They are already over $5 million.

The other one is smaller, with 493 items from 300 creators, but still a good cause. A fundraiser to fight for trans rights in Texas. Proceeds will be split between Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and Organizacion Latina de Trans en Texas (OLTT). This one is all table-top RPGs. They have also partnered with Hit Point Press, Solarian Games, and Monte Cook Games where if you send them a screenshot of your reciept you get more games from them.

They are running 19 more days to raise $420,000.

Lots of great games in either bundle. Maybe something new that could be played at the con. Both good causes to support.

Date Change

Well the date we had was less secured than I thought it was when I announced the con. The Internatinal Auto Show is going to be Jan 30 – Feb 6 taking over the whole building, so we lose out on that date. Instead the convention will be Februrary 11, 2023.

The good news is this gives another week to plan. The bad news is I’m stuck with a bunch of flyers with the wrong date now.

Let It Begin

DualCon

A con with two sides. One for table-top gaming: RPGs, board games, miniatures, LARPS, card games, and dice games. Another for video gaming: console games, arcade machines, compture games, mobile devices, pinblal, VR, and simulator. The plan is to fill each side of the hall with games, vendors, creators, and related aspects of each type of gaming. Like two cons for one.

Gaming brings joy to so many. Something fun to do. Opens up imagination. Teaches us new things and skills. And most importantly brings us closer to others. Making new friends, deepen older friendships, and developing a sense of community with fellow gamers. That is what we are about; play games, talk about games, build games, and love games.

If you want to help, there are several ways. First spread the word to everyone you know who likes gaming of any type. Pre-register when it goes live. Volunteer to help run the convention with us. Run games for the convention. This is a big thing. A gaming convention is nothing without people to run games. We are definetly looking for people to help with the video game side of things. People to bring machines and run tournaments. If you have an idea of games to run, let us know so we can help you bring your idea to our con for all to enjoy.

So raise your goblet or energy drink to this journey that we are going on. To DualCon. Let It Begin.
