What is The MechaniCon?

The MechaniCon is the start of a new annual gaming convention in the North East. We are working closely with Games Workshop to develop an event for the 2010 Independent Tournament Circuit in the North East US, as there is no other event anywhere close to the area. Our tables, terrain, prizes and special events will make this an event to remember. Join us at our inaugural event to enjoy a great weekend of gaming!

Registration Perks:

We are still accumulating loot for the registration packs. Registration packs have special rewards, samples, miniatures, discount coupons and more just for registering for an event.

Prizes:

Besides trophies, events will also have fantastic prizes. Many of our sponsors are donating to the prize pool. With a large number of events and categories there will lots of great prizes to hand out in many categories.

The Grand Tournament will feature prizes and trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in:

Best Overall
Best General
