BobCon is two and a half days of pure gaming satisfaction. You want board games? BobCon's got ‘em. You want roleplaying games? BobCon's got ‘em. You want card or strategy games? BobCon's got ‘em.

BobCon is a small annual gaming convention held in Kansas City each fall. It's more of a gamer's retreat: no vendors, limited seating, and (if fundraising works out) no entry fee.

Dates

October 1-3, 2010

Location

BobCon will be held at the Cove's Clubhouse again this year, north of the river at 8221 N. Overland Drive, KCMO 64151.

Registration

This year we are changing things up a bit. Last year moved from a donation-only system to a registration fee. This year we have increased our pre-event fundraising efforts in order to subsidize registration fees. The goal here is to have auctions, advertising, and sponsorships pay for event space so we don't have to charge a thing. More information will be made available on how this effort progresses (going well so far). We want to ensure you will attend, so if for some reason you are unable to make a donation (or even if you simply do not want to) DO NOT let that stop you from coming. Your presence is what makes BobCon enjoyable. SO BE THERE!

In 2009 we used the following donation system:
• $10/day at the door or $8/day if you pay by Sept. 26 (a 20% savings)
• 3-Day Registration only $25 at the door or $20 if you pay by Sept. 26

This year we intend to lower this in direct proportion to the funds we raise in advance. So stay tuned for details, and help us by supporting BobCon Auctions!

Schedule

Just like other gaming conventions there are slots that folks sign-up to play in games or other events. Event Slots will be 2 hours each and run continuously through the day. Longer games and RPGs may need to take multiple slots (which will be accounted for during scheduling).

Kids

This is a kid-friendly event. The children will have an area in which to play and an outdoor area to run around (weather permitting). This year we would like to to ask for parents to volunteer for supervision duty. Babysitters and substitution are welcome – in fact, if you know of a reliable babysitter who might want to earn some extra money please find out their fees and availability and let the BobCon staff know. More information will be sent out once it is known. Suggestions for activities are also appreciated.
