It's that time of year, again. For the Society of Daisy mini-convention known as OttoCon, named after the late Otto Schmidt.

The 2024 edition of this show will be held Friday, June 14th and Saturday, June 15th, as the Comfort Suites at 10 S. Hanover Street, Carlisle, PA 17013

We generally start at 0900, coffee service depending.

The Theme this year (which no one ever follows) is:

Space Games!

OttoCon is like a big game weekend at a club, designed for players to enjoy just playing games.

We have a Flea Market, but no Vendors (because, historically, Vendors always wanted to play, but were busy….vending)

While we love miniatures games, other games are also welcome. Boardgames, card games, etc. are all welcome.

Divine Right, a Daisy boardgame staple at OttoCon, will be there.

For miniatures, we have periods as varied as WW2 with What A Tanker and King Philip's War with Songs of Drums and Tomahawks.

And, finally, FINALLY, Military Science Theatre 2000 will make its comeback with a dog of a movie so awful, that The Selection Committee has collectively filed for compensation from the VA as a result.

If you would like more information, want to host a game, think you might want to attend, are looking for a good place to eat in Carlisle on a Friday night (Cafe Bruges…) or care to donate your hard earned Spanish Milled Dollars for no good reason whatsoever (okay, Tracy, I tried…) then please contact our hard working, indefatigable, and some might even say….debonair Grand Pooh-Bah, Tracy Johnson, at saxenviolets@gmail.com

Hope to see some of you there.

If you have one available, you should post a link. Searching "Ottocon" pulls up a board game event in New York.
