Convention Policies

Con*Stellation has a no weapons policy with two exceptions. Weapons may be used as a part of a costume in the Masquerade, if approved in advance by the Masquerade staff. Dealers may also sell weapons in the Dealers Room, but all weapons must be wrapped securely and taken by the purchaser directly to her/his room or off hotel property. If your mailing address has changed since your last Con*Stellation please provide us with a current email address.

Programming

As always, we'll have programming sure to satisfy a wide variety of tastes. Whether it's a Science Panel, an Author Roundtable, or the Art Auction, you will surely find something of interest at Con*Stellation. And, of course, don't forget our Dance, filking till late into the night, and other treats we have in store for you. There's always something that's entertaining to do! :)

Masquerade

Star Wars, Mad Scientists, Fairies and Hobbits... Oh My!

Join us Saturday night as a Masquerade entry and share your costuming and/or skit skills with other fans. A cash prize is awarded to Best in Show. Masquerade registration is free to registered convention members. Pick up your form at the registration counter.

Gaming

Once again, Con*Stellation will be featuring a wide menu of gaming events. Our smorgasbord of games will include everyone's favorite flavors -- RPGs, card games, miniatures, and board games. Amongst our various herbs and spices will be the fantastic worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, the dark minions of Cthulhu, the bloodthirsty denizens of White Wolf's Vampire and Werewolf, the noble heroics of Star Wars (d20), the clashing battles of Warhammer, the power-gaming silliness of Munchkin, the eerie horrors of Betrayal at House on the Hill, and, of course, the brutal slaughter that is Killer Cut-Throat Spades.

A fine feast for every taste -- but will you be the gourmand or the main course?

This is one kitchen where more chefs most definitely will NOT spoil the brew! If you want to run a game, write to the general convention address marked Attention Game Master or e-mail <gamemaster@con-stellation.org>.

LARP

Christi Newton and her team will present Cthulhu Live! A weekend-long Live Action Role Playing scenario set in the horror-filled world of H.P. Lovecraft. Participation will be $10 per player. Please contact Christi at <newtonchrisd@yahoo.com>.

Volunteers

Con*Stellation is run by volunteers and we would like you to join us. We need people with various levels of convention experience, including none. We're as busy as a hive in summer around here. We want you as a worker bee. Write to the general convention address or call Marie McCormack at 256-880-8210, between 6-9pm CT, no collect calls please.

Con Suite Treats

We serve one of the best selections of munchies in Southern fandom. What delicious surprises will next appear on our tables? Bring on the crock pots!
