Greetings.

After about eight years away I am planning on attending Origins & GenCon this year. Does Castles & Crusades get played there? Any organized tournaments or pickup games?

Thanks.

I know it does at Gen Con, since the Trolls themselves are there. I don't know how much gets played at Origins.

There were two games at Origins last year, plus one pick-up game. There were all that I was aware of. At GenCon, there were probably about 8-10 events, plus at least two off-grid games. We're hoping there are more this year at GenCon.

It's crazy that there are more C&C events at Gary Con than at Gen Con. Lake Geneva FTW.

C&C is well represented at GaryCon. That was nice to see this year.

How big is Garycon? I live in NZ and myself and she who must be obeyed are talking about a foreign holiday to Rarotonga but I have always wanted to to to Gencon for the last 20 years. Its just a long way from New Zealand.

I will attending Origins this year as well and would be very interested in sitting in on a game. Hopefully something can get cobbled together.

I am currently the C&C game master in town so it would be fun to play some C&C at a convention. Especially in an organized tournament. Back when I was a regular attendee of Origins and GenCon they used to send out pre-registration books with event lists. I guess it is probably all online now.

It is, at least for Gen Con, and pretty much any other convention I attend, so likely for Origins too.
