  • Q&A: How Scheduling works at a Tremor Event

    Q&A: How Scheduling works at a Tremor Event

    Greetings and Salutations!
    Staffer Steve here, and I just got a question in the mailbox. After climbing up from the bunker to get the mail and retreating back inside, I thought that it was worth answering via social media so that all interested persons can be in the know.

    The Question: Can I reserve a seat for a Scheduled Tremor Game Event online, or even ahead of time?

    The Answer: Unfortunately, no. Due to the nature of this type of game day event, getting a seat at any and all scheduled Tremor events are on a “first come, first served” basis.

    The best way to ensure that you get a seat in the desired game is to arrive early enough to sign your name on the scheduled game form (seats are limited, and the event is full when all spaces have been filled in). Then you’ll know you have a seat at the table for your game.

    Nuke-Con Out and About: OCon

    July 21, 22, 23 at the Mid-America Center.

    Look for Nuke-Con staff helping out in the game room. We’ll have demos of a newly-shippped Kickstarter called Solani, along with Verdant and Akropolis (both of which are great for new-to-boardgaming folx!).

    Lots of other games will be available, too, including RPGs, minis, and a Paint-n-Take table.

    See you there!

  • Introducing: The Aftershock Quick Sale Table!

    Introducing: The Aftershock Quick Sale Table!

    “Staffer Steve” here, and I have two questions for you…

    #1. Do you have any board games or RPG books you’ve been meaning to let go of?

    #2. Would you like to help the Nuke-Con?

    If you answered yes to both questions, well my fellow Nuke-Head, have I got some good news for you!

    We’re trying something new at the May Aftershock by hosting a sale of “gently used” board games and RPG books. So, if you have such items that you’d like to donate, bring them with you to the May Aftershock, and we’ll take care of the rest!

    On the other hand, for those of you looking to buy board games or RPG books at reasonable prices, then the May Aftershock is also for you!

    It’s a win for everyone as the donators will get back some storage space, the game collectors will get games at good prices and all proceeds will help Nuke-Con fund future events!

    So stop by the registration desk to drop off your donations and/or purchase donated items at the Nuke-Con Quick Sale Table. It’s as simple as that! 

    See you at the Aftershock!

  • Return of the Aftershock

    Return of the Aftershock

    Staffer Steve here, and I…

    Wait… do you feel that?

    I haven’t felt one of these in over two years!

    THE AFTERSHOCKS HAVE RETURNED!

    For those you new to the sensation of an Aftershock, allow me to explain…

    Periodically, Nuke-Con arranges for one-day special game events, known as “Aftershocks”, which are held at locations around the Omaha area.

    Related: Aftershock Game Days

    They have returned… and our first Aftershock in over two years is taking place at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church!

    We will need GM’s! We will need game hosts! And we will need gamers… so many gamers!

    We will have board games! and tabletop RPGs! and miniatures!  Bring your friends!  Everybody is welcome!  We must all Escape Reality, one game at a time!

    The Aftershock happens May 27th, 2023 at 10AM and goes to 10PM, for twelve hours worth of Escaping Reality.

    Get your tickets at the door for $5 per person for the entire day (or take $1.00 off with a donation of two cans of food for the church’s food pantry)!

    I’ll see you there!

    UPDATE: I just received word that Nuke-Con artist extraordinaire Fredd Gorham will be hosting an Artist Jam at the Aftershock, so we’re calling all artists to the event!
