Once again we are fortunate enough to have many game publishers support FaTDoG by allowing us to buy games at incredible discounts for FaTDoG attendees. This is known as the fabulous FaTDoG Presale!  These game publishers have been extremely generous throughout the years so let’s try to support them! The FaTDoG presale is a wonderful opportunity to buy games you have always wanted but were hesitating to urchase or games you thought you would like to try but the price just seemed a little bit out of reach. Now Withthe discounts, you can get them inexpensively. It’s a wonderful way to add to your game library.

Here are the rules for the FaTDoG 2016 presale:

1. You must be preregistered and bought a preregistered ticket in order to take advantage of the presale. You can purchase your tickets by clicking on the “Buy tickets” button on the upper left column.
2. You must email me your order no later than midnight October 21.
3. You can only order games that are currently in print. You cannot order any games still on preorder on the publishers website. I want to emphasize this as every year we get people ordering games that are still on preorder.
4. Once you send me your order I will send you an email invoice. Payment is due at the time of receipt of this invoice. You can pay by mailing a personal check or via PayPal, or Venmo.
5. Your games will be available for pickup at FaTDoG 2016. If you would like to pick them up any earlier, you can make special arrangements with me.

The following companies are participating this year and their discounts are below:

Flying Pig                                        10% off
Tiny Battles                                    10% off
Columbia Games                          30% off

Compass Games                           35% off
GMT Games                                    40% off
Revolution Games                       30% off
Victory Point Games                   15% off
Academy Games                           35% off with special pricing on Mare Nostrum -empires bundle at $85

                                                          30% off of the collective order is $301 or greater
This year we are happy to welcome Against the Odds magazine, Clash of Arms and Highflying Dice games who will be represented at the FaTDoG convention as vendors so their games will be available for direct purchase at FaTDoG.
In later postings I will be recommending some of my favorite games from these companies.
Let’s try to support our publishers who have so generously supported us. Please give me your orders as soon as possible so that we can start processing them. It is a complex process to collate, invoice, order and receive shipment of these games. So please take mercy our FaTDoG staff and get your orders and as soon as you can.

That’s right, FatDoG 2016, New York’s premier gaming convention, will be in a new location! It will be held at the Upsky Hotel 110 Motor Pkwy. in Hauppauge, New York On November 25, 2016 from 9 AM until midnight.

Why the change?

 We are victim of our own success. FaTDoG 2016 has outgrown our old venue. We need more room, more tables for gaming and more space for vendors. So we had to think big!

FaTDoG 2016 promises to be bigger and better than ever. We will have more vendors and more space. We will have a free lunch and dinner buffet with hot food, drinks and snacks. The Upsky Hotel is a slightly more upscale venue. There is a full restaurant in the lobby as well as a snack shop that will have coffee snacks and drinks.

FatDoG, Game Convention

FaTDoG is the annual Friday After Thanksgiving Day of Gaming now held at the Radisson Hotel in Happaugue, NY  It started over 16 years ago in my basement when I found myself all alone on the Friday after Thanksgiving while my wife and daughters battled the inane shoppers hunting for Christmas gift deals.  What does a gamer do when he has no responsibilities for the day?  He games of course!!

So I invited 3 friends over to game and we gamed until midnight upon which my weary shoppers returned.  The following year the story was repeated only I invited 6 friends over…and then 10 and then 14…..  When we breached 26 gamers in subsequent years. I knew I had to move FaTDoG to a bigger venue.  We moved to a local hotel and conference center and as word spread, FaTDoG grew from a small puppy to a mature DoG!
