Registration system is now up and running. (And there
was great rejoycing). The Registration System, which will
be used by all conventions managed by MSTB Gaming is now
operational. When directed to the site, it will require
you to create an "MSTB ID". This ID will be used for this
and all future conventions MSTB Gaming manages.
Once you have an account, remember your MSTB ID. (Yes,
they will have user names very soon which will be easier to
remember). From there you can purchase your badge, events,
and even convention merchandise.
We don't have very many events in the system yet, but they
are comming shortly. RPGA, Pathfinder, Looney Labs, Kids,
and others will be comming in the next week or two.
If you wish to run an event, do not purchase a player badge.
Instead select Run an Event which is under the events menu.
After you submit the event, management approves it and you will
qualify for a judge badge (which will show up under the badge
menu).

Since Origins decided to move to May, Super Dave and the rest of the Ancon staff decided
to take advantage of the situation and move the convention to June. Further, the convention
will now be four days instead of three. This means more games and more fun.
Further, AnCon will be managed by MSTB Gaming,LLP. They have always been a part of the show in the
past and have always been an intergrual part of the convention. As we are growing, the need for
convention management continues to grow. Everybody who has been a part of the convention in the past
is still here and our focus has been and will always be to provide the best gaming experience
to the community.
