| Ahoy there, gamers! We’ve got a bunch of announcements to make, so listen up! Sunday, April 23rd: Fundraiser Family Game Day 10 AM – 10 PM Casino Del Sol Conference Center (5655 W. Valencia Rd., Tucson AZ) Bring your friends and family to see our new location and get some games in! We’ll have a collection of board games to borrow, and some tables for RPGs if you want to run a scenario. We’ll also bring our Artemis spaceship bridge simulator computer game – missions will blast off all day long! Follow signs off Valencia Road to the resort garage; you can park there for free. Enter the casino lobby, and the conference center will be on your left. Sunday, April 23rd (part of the fundraiser game day) Premier RPG Fundraiser: DCC Experiment for Charity 12 PM – 3 PM Check out the first in this year’s series of premier role-playing sessions! It will be run remotely by Goodman Games’ Brendan LaSalle, GM extraordinaire and perennial RinCon luminary. Purchase your ticket here. Funds raised by this special session will all be donated to the Indie Game Developer Network’s Diversity Sponsorship, which supports a variety of programs in the realm of tabletop gaming that bring the voices of underrepresented minorities to the forefront around the world. The event will include all kinds of extras, including an exclusive swag bag and refreshments. A word from Brendan: “Some of the world’s greatest stories are told exactly one time by people with dice in their hands. This could be one of those times! Bring your imaginations and your hot dice! This is an experimental adventure with extra-narrative story structure elements. The players will help form the world and the adventure, creating a once-ever shared story event.” Saturday, May 20th: Fundraiser Family Game Day 10 AM – 10 PM Casino Del Sol Conference Center (5655 W.
