As you can tell from the picture we gave them, we were as serious and taciturn as we usually are. They put up with us beautifully though and got a lot of pictures of our games. Go check it out.

So, Silvervine’s home convention, Con On The Cob is coming up in Mid October. Are you going to be there? You should be, and not just for the awesome incredible Mechanomicon stuff that Silvervine Games will be debuting there. Seriously,  you should come for some of these things:

Seriously, you should get your shiny Wazoo to Con On The Cob in Hudson, Ohio Thursday on October 13th and you should stay until Sunday, the 1th. It’s gonna be a fantastic time, as always! Also, you should check back here in the upcoming weeks to get some sneak peaks and special downloads in preparation for the Mecanomicon stuff we’ll be testing at the convention.

 

*SVG does not guarantee happiness from the purchase of material things. That would go against our existential roots… or something.

Siege1 Hey all NE Ohio SVG Fans (or anyone wanting to travel farther)!

Want to get a taste of what Silvervine is offering up for the 2010 convention season? With Ancon 8 days away, we are going to be doing some practice runs for 4 of our adventures this Sunday at the Silvervine Offices. If you live near Akron Ohio and would like to get in on some pre-convention games, you are invited.

 

We’ll be running games at 2pm and 7pm on Sunday May 16th. In order to get involved, register by emailing playtest [@] silvervinegames.com and we will send you more information. Playtests will be run in Massillon, Ohio and should take 3-4 hours for each one. Nothing is required and no fore-knowledge of the game system is needed. Pre-generated characters will be used for the games and all materials will be made available, but you can always bring your own starting level (275 Exp) characters.

 

Want to make your character beforehand? Use the Quick CC Guide – found here.

image Still working on some behind the scenes stuff with the look and feel of the new blog, but here is some news for you. We’ve just submitted our events for ANCON – Another Game Convention.

Ancon is a game convention held in Hudson Ohio and caters to a lot of gamers local to Silvervine’s home base. We’ve got some special things planned, including a 16 player tournament on Sunday. If you are in Ohio or the surrounding environs, go check it out!

 

We’ll post more updates and our schedule as soon as it gets approved!
