Inspired me to try being a DM for a small group of friends." "The flea market went very well!" "I'll be back next year!" "…everyone was having a good time, which is the goal. I think the Scrum Team tapped into a market for gaming in the area." "Lot of fun, and great con….Hope to see it grow!" "It was a great group of people. Mature gamers having fun, and no 'Game Store Egos' or nonsense to deal with. So refreshing. Thanks for a great day." "I liked having the mini games there, and would like to try one next time!"

Dammit, there are already more games listed that I want to play than I'll have time to play!

I'll be running a game at Scrum Con, but I wish I had a chance to play in the other games being run. Some really good looking tables will be making an appearance.

FLEA MARKET Just a quick note that we have posted the guidelines for our No-Hassle Flea Market for any attendees who would like to "re-home" some of their gaming gear or pick up some cool stuff for their own collection! We tried this last year, and it worked out really well. We've deliberately structured the flea market so that you can drop off your stuff (up to five items) and spend your day gaming instead of sitting behind a flea market table. With over twice the number of folks attending this year, the selection should be be even better. (I know I sold some games and picked up some cool miniatures at last year's flea market.) Here are the guidelines! link

FYI, Scrum Con 2020 has 36 games on the schedule, many of them filling up fast. Enjoy the games.

With a little over a week to go, SCRUM CON is nearly sold out for a second year running! Out of 275 tickets for seats at a game, we're down to fewer than 10 still available. Better register soon if you're interested in playing in one of our great games.

To many rules about selling whole dollars, self contained, only 5 items. LOL these are gamers we're talking about.
