    Remember, we’re also looking for donations (and buyers) for our Quick Sale Table of gently used games — click the link for details.

    See you on Saturday!

  • 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!
