Countdown to gaming and comic event
Thousands of gamers and hobby enthusiasts from all over the country will once again this weekend converge on Jabula Recreation Centre in Sandringham, Johannesburg for the 17th annual consumer gaming and comic event, ICON, which features interactive gameplay, comics and collectibles, hobby-related events, anime screenings and a variety of events.
On the cards will be Magic The Gathering nationals and game workshop regionals, computer gaming from Mayhem and the traditional role-playing and board-gaming events. The themed-event concept continues this year with Arabian Nights, with the usual costume competition and “cos-play” events
Claimed to be the largest event of its kind in southern Africa for consumers, game distributors and comic retailers, ICON generally attracts more than 3000 visitors each year. It is run by Grant Charlton of comic book and gaming shop Outer Limits, along with a team of volunteers.
ICON will take place 10 - 12 July 2009 at the Jabula Recreation Centre in Sandringham, Johannesburg. For more information and the ICON brochure, go to www.rpg.co.za.
