Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well and staying cool!
Once again this year, we’ll be doing our usual group outings to Outback Steakhouse (for those who like their food cooked) and Asahi Japanese for those who like sushi.
Yeah, you can guess which camp I fall into.
Anyway, one of the things we’ve always had problems with is getting an reasonably accurate head count in the past. What we’ve done for this year is set up an email for you to tell us which group you’d like to join!
Now, for the record, the usual plan of attack is to leave as a group from More >
So we always get down to the last page of the program book, and there’s this blank page staring at us, challenging us to name next year’s convention. Everyone throws out ideas (good, bad, ugly) and then we vote. Well, this year, we’re going to let you vote too. Look over the choices below, and then pick up to 3 names that you think best fit TCEP.

Thought everyone would like to know about a few of the items we have on the schedule for this years convention!
Classic Game tournament: To go along with our “Chess” theme, we will be hosting a tournament revolving around classic games such as chess, checkers, backgammon, reversi, mancala, dominos, and the like. I’m still finalizing the details; as soon as I have them finished, I’ll make them available at the Barking Mad Website.
Junior Roleplaying: The X-Men: People’s response to the idea of events aimed at our younger attendees was well enough received that we will be hosting a RPG session aimed at those More >
Look for details about a tournament to be announce shortly held in the gaming room.
The gaming room will be open from around 6pm or so Friday until sometime Monday afternoon.
Some of the activities planned for the weekend include at least one Larp, charity poker tournament, and games not only for adults but also for the younger set.
Saturday morning will also include Munchkin for Munchkins again this year.
Fluxx will be held for the mid-teen crowd Sunday at 9am until 11am.
Please pre-register before the 31st of July for a discount of $10 per adult and $5 per youth.
Thank You,
Jami (Allura)

As I’ve mentioned in years past, many of the fine folks who attend TCEP have grown up in or around the conventions in the greater DC area, or have watched others do so. A number of our attendees have chosen to have children, and find that this becomes an excellent place to introduce their children to new games and old classics alike.
We’ve had, in the past, occasional events aimed towards our younger attendees. And, as we are less than 100 days out from TCEP 17: 3 Nights in Laurel, I’d like to assess what sort of interest, if any, there More >
Well, here we are near the beginning of the summer convention season, when the minds and hearts of gamers turn to the dice strewn gaming glory of cons.
And that, my friends, brings us to the fun of TCEP 17: 3 Nights in Laurel. It’s kinda hard for me to believe that we’re only three and a half months out from the best four days of gaming and relaxation in the DC area. Hell, I’m having problems wrapping my head around the fact that it’s MAY!
But, none of this happens without you. Please, take a few moments to pre-register for More >

Here we are, the day after TCEP, and I have to say that it was a success. Every time I turned around, I saw people gaming, having fun, and relaxing. This, to me, makes it a successful convention. So a great big “Thank you” to all of our convention attendees. You are the reason we do this, and you are the reason all this is possible.
Many of you have worked cons in one form or another over the years, and have some idea of what goes into them time and time again. So, I’d like to take a moment to More >
