  • Get Your Fuel on at Nuke-Con!

    New to Nuke-Con 2017 — FUELING ON SITE!

    The GodMom has been contemplating the expenses of a gamer’s weekend. Everybody has to eat.

    Here are some typical expenses for eating during the convention:

    OFF-SITE EATING COST
    Lunch Burger, Side, Drink, and Dessert. $13.00
    Dinner Quesadilla, Tortilla Chips, Drink, and Dessert. $15.00
    Valuable gaming time lost due to eating off-site ~ 1 Hour

     

    Nuke-Con has a new alternative… on-site eating!

    FUEL RODS (ON-SITE EATING) COST
    Meal Box Sandwich, Chips, Pasta Salad, Fruit, Drink, and Cookie. $15.00
    Valuable gaming time lost due to eating on-site ~ 5 Minutes

    We regret this very important announcement for our gamers:

    Hotel RL requires Nuke-Con to enforce the No Outside Food rule.

     

    You can reserve your meals ahead of time here when you buy your badge, and then your Fuel Rod tickets will be ready in your Registration packet when you check in.

    NOTE: If you have already bought your badge, or if you have difficulties with the link, contact Registration.

    You have until September 16th, 2017 to reserve your Fuel Rods.

    More detail, including the specific Fuel Rod choices for each mealtime, can be found here.

    You’ll receive an email before the convention asking you to make your meal selections.

    Quantities are limited. Maintain your Nuke-lear Reaction and reserve your Fuel Rods now!

  • Rewards for GMs and Volunteers

    We all love games, but we all have other expenses. In an effort to help maintain a healthy balance, Nuke-Con brings you

    The Game Master and Volunteer

    Reimbursement Program

    The goal: to provide a way for dedicated volunteers and game masters to reduce the cost of a convention badge.

    The sytem: For every eight hours of pre-registered volunteer eb54bdbd-6ef8-4be6-98ce-6d566b4fb9e5-6634-0000052126034f3dtime, or every eight hours of games that are scheduled in advance and that run, Nuke-Con will reimburse half the cost of the volunteer’s badge. For twelve hours of volunteer or game time, we’ll reimburse the entire cost of the badge. Mixing game time and volunteer time is permitted. Pre-registering for either function is required.

    We also need volunteers for pre-convention activities; this time will count toward the total, as will games registered in advance for Aftershocks.

    As always, there is fine print which you can find here.

    Nuke-Con recognizes that our convention cannot run without its volunteers and its game masters. Our gratitude has no half-life; it is forever. We’re glad to be able to offer this tangible evidence.
