Greeting and Salutations to you one and all!

Wow how time flies. Here it is already at February (where did Janurary go???) and KublaCon gets closer every day. But at least the weather here in the SF Bay Area is warming up a little! So it’s time for the KublaCon staff to come out of their winter hibernation and get cracking on putting together another year of the biggest game convention in the west for all you.

So let’s get on to some news and info for your perusal.

Staff Openings, Volunteering and GM's

We have several Staff positions open for our fun loving KublaCon family, so please drop us a note if you are interested in filling any of the following positions…

• Miniatures Lead Coordinator
• Fantasy Miniatures Assistant Coordinator
• GW Miniatures Assistant Coordinator
• Special Events Assistant Coordinator
• CCG Events Assistant Coordinator

It does take a very large amount of time and work to put together our convention so we are already looking for people to put their names in the hat for volunteering for next year.

We now have a new webpage where you can sign up for your volunteer time online. You can visit it here. If you don't already have an online account, you'll need to make one. Then just log into your account, search for various volunteer tasks, and check the ones that you're interested in doing. Angel, our Volunteer Coordinator, will monitor your requests... and assign people to tasks between now and KublaCon. You'll be able to search and view your task requests... and your task assignments. Check it out!

Our website is now open for your game submissions. We can't implore you enough to make sure to get your games in as early as you can to make sure you not only get a good spot for your game, but to make sure you even have a chance to get your game in. We again had to turn away games for KublaCon 06 as both the RPG and Board Game departments had run out of room well before the April deadline. We suspect this year will be no different. So get those games in as soon as you can!!!

"So let me introduce to you, the one and only Billy Shears..."

This month's ten questions comes from a newer member of our team. He is a boundless source of energy and has been a great help in only his second year as a staff member. He is our new Collectible Games Lead Coordinator, Jay Fitch…

Kubla Staff Sightings

For our Bay area readers, two conventions are happening this weekend: DunDraCon and The RPGA’s Theocracy by the Bay: The end times.  Several of our local Staff members are attending one or both of these cons. They won’t bite much! I am sure they wouldn’t even mind if you offered to buy them a drink, or lunch or let them win at that new game they just got at the Dealer’s room. So don’t be afraid and say hi.

If you hail from further northwest, check out ConQuestNW in Bellevue Washington. Wherever you are... play some games and have fun!

Our 8th Annual Game Design Contest

Our first seven years were an incredible success for the design contest. In fact, several of our past winning contestants have gone on to get their games published. If you want to submit a game... read ALL of the instructions here. Good luck... and have fun!

Flea Market

OK, let loose the mass of humanity and find those deals! The Flea Market is once again going to run on Friday night and Monday morning. The flea market takes place in the Grand Ballroom... right near the dealer's room and these spacious digs will ensure plenty of buyers, many sellers, and tons of games to choose from! We encourage you to make your weekend plans such that you can enjoy these two popular events. You can go to these to links to get more info Fun Friday Flea Market! Monster Monday Flea Market!

Well Folks, that's it for now. Look for our next exciting issue coming out soon. Until then, take care and happy gaming!

Thanks! :o)

If you have any questions, comments or contributions for Khannections, you can reach the newsletter at the following spelled out email (to avoid spam!) "japji-at-kublacon.com"

KublaCon does NOT sell, rent or share its mailing list with anyone else! Please feel free to send this email to your friends and help us spread the word on how fun KublaCon is. Grandma Bost says: "You can grow up, but whatever you do, don't ever grow old." and we can do that by playing more games! OK Japji, let’s sing it like the Beatles! Because the dice are round it turns me on. Because the score is high it blows my mind. Because Japji won, it makes me cry!
 

Go Kubla! :o)
