For this year's Rock-Con (October 19-21, 2012) - being held at the Wedgebury Indoor Sports Center in Rockford, Illinois - the following tournaments have been confirmed and online registration has been opened:

  • 2,000-point Warhammer Fantasy – Saturday event
  • Warmachine – There are four different tournament events being run over the weekend
  • Malifaux – Saturday event

Tournament registration is now open for the above games. Sign-up can be completed online by visiting lastsquare.com and look for the Events category.

We have also confirmed the following tournaments, and are waiting for the final details to be worked out:

  • Flames of War – huge game event on Friday night, and tournament on Saturday
  • 40K tournament – Saturday/Sunday

We have also expanded gaming space available this year on Saturday and Sunday.

Our plans are to dedicate the almost 2,000 square feet of additional gaming space for more historical games.

Game Masters – Don't forget that you get into Rock-Con free on the day that you run a game – Run a game on Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday, and get a weekend badge for free.

Game registration can be found here.

And what else is on tap for the weekend at Rock-Con?

  • D-Company will be set-up again with their huge 40K set-ups – come and join in on one of their games at Rock-Con.
  • Paint and Take and Pedal to the Metal painting events – it's not just all about gaming – Come and check out the painting competition or sit down and do some painting in between game events.
  • Boardgaming, Pathfinder Society RPG events, and Dorkstock are some of the other events you will find during the weekend here at Rock-Con.
  • Silent Auction will again take place on Saturday from 10AM to 2:30PM.

And finally, what is a con without great dealer support? Last year, we had 17 dealers set-up, and as of today, we have ten dealers already confirmed.

Preregistration for the con is now open. Visit lastsquare.com and look for the Events category to preregister.

Weekend badge is $20 USD – after October 5th, the weekend badge will cost $25 USD. Friday-only badge is $9.00 USD. Saturday-only is $16 USD. Sunday-only is $9 USD.
