2. Attendees can register for as many events as they choose to.
3. The convention offers a "Con Suite", where attendees have access to snacks and soft drinks for free.
4. Plenty of parking in the Hyatt. Attendees can bring their parking ticket to the Front Desk to have it validated and parking will be free.

DREAMATION 2013 Post-convention Report

The convention started out slow, but picked up during the weekend. A significant number of the "regulars" did not attend the convention this year. The early estimate was about 1000 attendees (including staff).

C407: Dragon Dice Intermediate Event: Single Race. Frank Warren won this event with a Feral army.

C461: Dragon Dice Intermediate Event: Constructed Starter. Jared Schuller won this event with a Coral Elf/Firewalker army.

C515: Dragon Dice Advanced Event: Constructed Army. Jared Schuller won this event. Russ Lockwood placed second with a Dwarf/Lava Elf army.

C516: "Campaigns of Esfah" Playtest Session. The latest iterations of the boardgame were used, including new tiles with the terrain and colors printed on each tile. The team of Frank Warren & Russ Lockwood conquered Esfah with a Dwarf/Feral alliance.

C583: Dragon Dice Intermediate Event: No attendees for this event.

C644: Dragon Dice Advanced Event: Battlefest!. Jared Schuller won this event with a predominantly Coral Elf/Frostwing army. Jeff Reichert placed second with an Dwarf/Eldarim army.

C683: The 2013 DENCC Region 4 Dragon Dice Championship. Jared Schuller won the Regional Championship with a Coral Elf/Eldarim/Frostwing army.

C702: "Campaigns of Esfah" Playtest Session. Jeff Reichert and Mike Schuller conquered Esfah with an alliance of Feral and Firewalkers.

C770: "Campaigns of Esfah" Playtest Session. Mike Schuller and Frank Warren conquered Esfah with an alliance of Feral and Firewalkers. The black races were swept 3 out of 3 sessions.

Despite no attendence in the "Sealed Starter" event, the demo booth was busy enough, with 10 new players buying starters and, in most cases, expansions, so I hope to see some new players at the DEXCON Dragon Dice events in July.
