THIS IS WHERE THE PUN STARTS!
I have been running events since High School, when I would have Monopoly gatherings in the banquet room of my family's restaurant chain, the Casa Escobar on West Pico Blvd. Then I ran some gaming events with long time pal Mike Zbella in Simi Valley under the auspices of the Boys and Girls Club. While owning a game store, I would start running one and two day mini-conventions for the RPGA (a gathering of organized play Dungeons & Dragons gamers) until running my first big convention in Los Angeles called ConQuest LA in 2005. Here are the conventions that I have in operation.
This all-genre tabletop gaming convention has run in one format or another since 1978. It is though to be the convention of the South Bay War Gamers, and boasts the best wargaming gathering on the West Coast. Pacificon also features a variety of role playing games, board games, card games, as well as LARPs. For a number of years, we've hosted a War Game Boot Camp, aimed at introducing folks to the latest and greatest in tabletop war games. This year, we are happy to have the Pacificon Protospiel, which draws game designers and their prototypes and allows attendees to play games that have not yet been published!
