Heroes
Our attendees who participate in our charity activities are real heroes.
About me: As we have gone through the years, we have come across some of the same questions and conversations. So, this is an explanation of all the things that Ancient City Con encompasses.
The truth is our scope is much broader than just anime or games. We try to include ALL things related to science fiction or fantasy. This can include, but certainly is not limited to: science fiction, fantasy, horror, gaming (tabletop miniatures, role playing including live action role playing LARPs, board, card, video with PC and console gaming), anime, books, TV shows, movies, comics, collectibles, cosplay and costume design, miniatures painting and much more.
Basically, if somebody comes to us with an idea for something they want to do at the convention and it's related to any of the genres or hobbies mentioned above, we do our best to roll with it and make space and time available for fans of that hobby or interest group at Ancient City Con.
In addition to the contests, events, games and discussion panels, Ancient City Con has Dealers and an Artist Alley (Called Creator's Alley). These folks are an important part of the convention and are integrated into the convention as a whole instead of being tucked away in a separated room and thus easily bypassed or ignored. Many of our past dealers and artists have remarked that they have enjoyed being able to take a more active role in the convention because of this.
While our initial focus was more on "action" vs. "awe" Ancient City Con has also hosted Guests. The guests in the past conventions have been authors, publishers, game designers and professional bloggers. As the convention continues to grow, we will endeavor to expand the range to include media personalities and actors.
Our vision was to create a convention that “has a little bit everything” where attendees can meet up with others who are just as passionate about their interests as they are, and for them to easily try new things that are related without additional expense. We feel we have been successful in that regard and are working hard to bring you even bigger and better things to come.
As always, we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding content at Ancient City Con. Feel free to post on our Forums or send us an email at ancient_con@yahoo.com
Cya at the convention!
Regards,
Christopher Gabaldon
Convention Director

thank you for the comment! Happy Thanksgiving! I am going to update my profile some time today I hope. Let me know what you think. have you seen my website? www.XZanthia.com. I added a whole lot there. My new painting is there.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Come see our all Gorey goodies! Edward Gorey, Tim Burton, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Ryden, Alice in Wonderland, Gris Grimly, Emily, Coraline, Lenore, Twilight, Tattoo & Pin-up Art, Dark Décor, Haunted Portraits, Vintage Halloween, Classic Horror Monsters, Vampires, Skulls & Gargoyles, Pirates, Zombies, Alchemy Gothic Jewelry, Villainess, Rubber Stamps, T-shirts, Postcards, Toys, Books, Posters, and much more!
