The Lunchbox: Julian Christie on ENBICON Gaming Convention

Posted on 2014-02-13 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Gaming conventions bring together players to create an imagination-filled, somewhat competitive weekend of tabletop roleplaying, wargames, card games and more! Fredericton’s original gaming convention is reincarnated into this year’s ENBICON, involving its original founders but a location we could have only dreamed of 20 years ago: The Fredericton Exhibition Centre!

Join the Encaffeinated ONE and organizer Julian Christie as they reminisce about gaming over the years and describe the brand new class convention!

Coming on February 22.
