SaltCon — Davis County Convention Center, Layton, Utah

Bringing the flavor back to gaming is the driving force of SaltCon. The main event is looking to be quite the gathering of players. This time around I am running some roleplaying games. For certain I will be running a couple of sessions of The Hero’s Tale, a story driven family-oriented RPG. There may be others because I have some new games I am working on reviews of.
