EGC for the Win!
Let's face it; we want our convention scene back, but we also need to be safe in that space. The Electronic Gaming Convention in San Antonio wants to give you both what you want and what you need. In just 30 weeks, EGC will debut an array of enjoyable activities.
Whether you are hyped up about participating in one of the 6 major tournaments or preparing to showcase your character's style in the cosplay contest, we know you are putting in those long hours of effort in an attempt to claim victory. Your performance will be a delight to behold. Withstand the competition and you will be walking out with some major prize money to go with your big win!
If you want to feel like a winner without feeling the stress of competition, enjoy some casual gaming from RikRic Otaku Cafe's arcade systems. Want to engage in a little friendly rivalry? A quick match in the battle pit can get those endorphins going as you partake in foam sword combat. You also have the option to get in a bout of laser tag, thanks to Freedom Fun USA. Perhaps you want to battle without getting physical; why not try intellectual combat? Both Dragon's Lair and Heroes & Fantasies have teamed up to bring you a fantastic tabletop and RPG experience to build your imagination stage.
Although competitive gaming is the main event, feed your mind with some words of wisdom during informative panels. Indulge in the entertainment from our musical guests. Admire the dedication of the fans that trick out their cars being showcased. Let's not forget all the shopping: artists, vendors, and even the EGC merch team will be available to assist you with your purchases.
You may be hungry for the fun now, but you are likely going to get hungry while enjoying that fun as well. EGC is providing concessions inside with an area for dining. In addition, there will be a few food trucks just outside the venue. If you also consider the other dining/take-out places nearby, there is no shortage of food options from which you can choose.
Now that we've highlighted the pleasing distractions from the monotony of daily life, the time has come to talk about hygiene and cleanliness. EGC is following all recommended guidelines for spacing and sanitization. However, we need your cooperation in following the guidelines for attendees. Together we can create a safe environment where we can still have fun.
As anticipation for the first ever Electronic Gaming Convention builds during a risky environment, a safe and fun way to interact with EGC fans and staff is on social media. In the time leading up to the convention, there will be several opportunities to enjoy EGC even before it begins. So far we've seen a growing interest in the monthly tournaments being streamed at Twitch.tv/egcsa from both players and viewers alike. Free masks are being sent out to community members who are in need via a submission form going around on Facebook. Plus, cool swag giveaways are in the works, so be sure to keep tabs on EGC for your chance to score!
Tweet us @TheEGCSA with the #30weeks and which attraction you're looking forward to the most.
