Owl Con 2020 at Rice University in Houston

[Warshield73]

Attention all Houston area MAs. Owl Con has just opened the submissions for the 2020 con. I first became aware of this con around 2010 and I started GMing there in 2012. In that now ten years I am the only person to run PB games there. If any of you are in the Houston area I would like to encourage you to attend and if you can GM at this con. I love this con and it is one of my favorites, second only to POH.

I will be posting my games over the next 3 or 4 days and I will be running 4 games. I know that one will be Heroes Unlimited and I will also be running Operation Minotaur from Rifter 83. I have not yet decided if I will run Rifts North America for the other two or Phase World.

Sign ups for the convention are underway with the first 3 available now and the rest coming in over the next two months.

I have four games listed 2 Rifts, 1 Heroes, and of course BTS Operation Minotaur from Rifter 83. As usual I am the only person running PB games.

I still have plenty of swag for this con so I'm all set there but if they are still posting convention information in the weekly update that would be great.
