Hello to all of you KublaCon fans! We hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season and their New Year’s has been going well so far. Now that we are getting into official KublaCon season, our Staff has started to wake up from their long winters nap to get this years show ready and raring for all to enjoy! And this year will be especially spectacular as we are celebrating our TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!
Yes, we have been around for a very fun and very enjoyable 10 years and we hope to make this year’s show the biggest and best ever for our attendees so we hope all of you will make it this year!
So let’s get on to some news and info for your reading pleasure.
Up until February 28th, you can save $15 on your visit to KublaCon. So for only $35 dollars you can enjoy all 4 days at this years shindig! And since we love to have families at the show, parents registering with a paid child save $10 more!
We've been hard at work to make your registration experience as smooth as possible. So we've tidied up the shopping cart and check out pages.
And now.. you and pay with PAYPAL and Discover!
You can get your weekend pass to KublaCon by visiting our secure online shopping cart and sign up now!
But wait, there is even more!
You say you are an UBER KublaCon fan? You can’t wait till Memorial Day weekend and you want to be the first one at the show? You love us so much that you want to come each and every year? Well, we have the Magic Golden Ticket for you!
We are now offering Lifetime Memberships at an introductory low price of only $399. Not only will this get you a free pass for the rest of your life to KublaCon, but there will be plenty of other perks that will only be available to our lifetime members.
You can get all the details of or Lifetime Membership program here!
It does take a very large amount of time and work to put together our convention so we are always looking for people to put their names in the hat for volunteering for the show. If you put in 4 hours of volunteer time, you will get a shiny green KublaCon pin, and if you put in 8 hours, you will also get your admission cost refunded to you!
We have a webpage where you can sign up for your volunteer time online and you can visit it here. If you don’t already have an online account, you’ll need to make one. Then just log into your account, search for various volunteer tasks, and check the ones that you’re interested in doing. Mike Eckert, our Volunteer Coordinator, will monitor your requests… and assign people to tasks between now and KublaCon. You’ll be able to search and view your task requests… and your task assignments. Check it out!
Our website is now open for your game submissions. We can’t implore you enough to make sure to get your games in as early as you can to make sure you not only get a good spot for your game, but to make sure you even have a chance to get your game in. We again had to turn away games for KublaCon 09 as both the RPG and Board Game departments had run out of room well before the April 1st deadline. We suspect this year will be no different. So get those games in as soon as you can!!!
At least LOTS of people to make the KublaCon experience fun for everybody... including our young players. This issue's Ten Questions comes to us from Donna Livingston-Fitch, story teller and gamer who helps out in the YP area.
With more gaming goodness then you can shake a stick and prizes & surprises every where you turn; it’s never too early to start planning your pilgrimage to KublaCon 2010. Whether you’re an attendee, GM, or volunteer visit our Getting Ready page on how you can get started now!
For our Bay Area readers, DunDraCon is on President’s Day weekend (12th – 15th) and several of our local Staff members are planning on attending. They are usually a very friendly bunch, especially if you offer to buy them a drink, or a bite to eat, or even let them win at that new game they just got at the Dealer’s room. So don’t be afraid and say hi! You can get more info about DunDraCon by visiting here!
Coming up on March 19th – 21st is ConQuest in Sacramento. You can check out their website at Conquestsac.com. So wherever you are… play some games and have fun!
Our first seven years were an incredible success for the design contest. In fact, several of our past winning contestants have gone on to get their games published. If you want to submit a game… read ALL of the instructions here. Good luck… and have fun!
No bird or plane of even frog, just little ol’ me… Super Kubla!!!
Faster than lighting bolts, more powerful than any Mini Mongol horde, can leap tall towers of games in a single bound, Super Kubla is ready to jump into action and play games at any given moment. Our yearly pins have a Super Hero theme this year and we already have the artwork for them up on our website. We think this may even be one of our best ever so be sure to reserve your red pin now!
You can see all the colors of this year's pin here!
Richard Borg is just one of the many special guests that have told us they want to come to our show. Richard is a game designer best known for the Command and Colors System, but also well regarded for many other designs. Borg had his first game, Liars Dice, published in 1987 by Milton Bradley. This design was later republished as Bluff by FX Schmid in 1993 and went on to win the 1993 Spiel des Jahres. Borg continued in game design through the 90s, eventually introducing the Command and Colors system in 2000 with Battle Cry. You can check out our Special Guests page here!

Well Folks, that’s it for now. Look for our next exciting issue coming out soon. Until then, take care and happy gaming!

The Fine Print:
KublaCon does NOT sell, rent or share its mailing list with anyone else! Please feel free to send this email to your friends and help us spread the word on how much fun KublaCon is. Grandma Bost says: “You can grow up, but whatever you do, don’t ever grow old.” and we can do that by playing more games!

We’re going to game till we pop, we’re going to game till we drop! Were going to game at the Con, game it inside out!!!
Go Kubla! =)
