SLARPcon 2010 will be June 11-13.
We are planning on running 4 games again this year.
The schedule for SLARPcon will be posted once it is determined on March 31.
If you are interested in submitting a game, we would like to hear from you. Details on submission requirements are found here. Post your submissions to the forum or send it to us at contact@slarpa.com
The character “list” for The Bainbridge Society (Friday Night) is now up on the forums.
As mentioned before, the lists for the Exodus of the Roving Gypsy and Kazablanca are also up.
The games run 7-Midnight on Friday Dec. 4, Noon-5 and 7-Midnight on Saturday Dec. 5.
All games take place in the basement of Winston’s Pub in the Hotel Senator (downtown Saskatoon, located at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 21st Street. See the map below.)

BarryCon preparation is continuing along.
The character list for the Saturday night game (Kazablanca- a Noir tale of Steampunk and Goblins) has been posted in the forum. Sign up with your top three choices in that thread.
The character list for Exodus of the Roving Gypsy (Saturday Afternoon game) has also been posted.
BarryCon is now slightly less than one month away, and things are starting to ramp up. Character lists are starting to go up.
The first one has been posted, for the Exodus of the Roving Gypsy . It has been crossposted to the forums. Cory would like you to select three characters that you would like to play and let him know asap. In addition, it has been determined that all of the events (including Exodus of the Roving Gypsy) will be in Winston’s basement.
Expect information about characters for the other games to be out in the near future.
We had requests to move the event from November 27th-28th, as it conflicted with other games. We complied. BarryCon is now locked in for December 4th and 5th. Otherwise, the information remains the same.
I have more news about BarryCon.
There are events pages up for the three games involved.
The Bainbridge Society will be the Friday night game:

Tales of the Roving Gypsy will be the Saturday afternoon game:

Kazablanca - A Noir tale of Goblins versus Steampunk will be the Saturday night game:

There will also be areas for these games on the forums.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, the dates on the events are wrong. We have needed to move them to November 27 and 28 instead of November 20 and 21, as unfortunately we were unable to get the booking that we wanted on the weekend of the 20th. That being said, we are now confirmed with the basement of Winston’s for the Friday and Saturday night games.
The pricing plan is $20 for the weekend (which includes a SLARPA membership), or $10 for a single game (which does not include a membership).
I hope to see you all out.

Thank you all for coming out for SLARPcon 2009.
The SLARPA AGM will be July 12 at 2 in Arts 105. Come out and tell us how you think things went this year, and what we should be considering for next year. Also, the executive for next year will be determined at that time, so if you want a say, that is where to have it.
Even if you can’t/don’t want to show up at the AGM, we still want to know what you thought of what we did. Get in contact with us in whatever way you normally do, and look in the forum for a questionnaire of things I think will be useful to know for the next executive.
