I apologize for us being a little behind this year, but we have an AWESOME show planned for 2012!
This year’s theme is “Time Travel.” We are traveling both forward & back, as we shape Origins future!
Let’s begin by thanking Mayfair Games for being our Show Co-Sponsor for the second year! Many of the great new things we are able to bring to the show are a direct result of our wonderful sponsors!
I also want to announce our Guests of Honor: Game Designer Robert Schwalb; Game Designer Jeff Tidball, Artist Sandra Garrity and Author Aaron Allston!
Adding to their presence are our Special Guests: Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day and Adrienne Wilkinson! Some lucky attendees will get to actually play games with our guests in the upgraded play program!
We are pulling the best things from our past: We will see the return of Guest signings (be sure to bring your autograph books!) We are happy to announce the return of large card events! A special thanks to Star City for running their Open Series and to Konami for supporting their new Extravaganza event at Origins!
