In past JiffyCons we've featured locally grown games like Time and Temp, Shooting the Moon, Misspent Youth, 1001 Nights, and Shock:, games in development that such as Tales of the Fisherman's Wife, and board games like Mechaton. We love both the old school and the new fangled. We offer games for kids as young as 8, games for a general audience, and games strictly for adults. Our attendees have come from far and wide throughout New England and the Middle States, and our attendance has steadily increased over the past three years. We couldn't have done it without the kind folks who GM, DM, and facilitate GM-less goodness.

Want to run a game? Sign-up before December 15, 2010.
