Seeing as Necronomicon is not running this year another group decided to run their con at Easter, Eyecon. From their FAQ they intend to run it each year. Will it be the new Easter convention in Sydney?
I went and signed up to see how their registration process works, and to see if there was anything worth registering to play.

Hopefully they will get more people turning up tomorrow morning to fill out some of the games. But is begs the question…
