SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – For the fourth consecutive year, game enthusiasts from around the state will gather at Wittenberg as the university's Role-Playing Guild hosts WittCon IV: Luck of the Dice. The event is scheduled to start at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, March 17, in Wittenberg's Joseph C. Shouvlin Center for Lifelong Learning, located at 737 N. Fountain Ave.

Now in its fourth year, WittCon, an alcohol-free event that is open to the public, brings together game enthusiasts of all experience levels in a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Larry Wick, creator of WEGS (Wickedly Errant Game System) is the featured guest at this year's event. He will make a presentation following a dinner scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Registration begins at 12:30 p.m., and the cost is $5, which includes dinner and registration fees. The first games begin at 1 p.m. and will continue until approximately midnight. Many games will be available, including a Magic Tournament at this year's event. Other games include "After World" (World of Darkness), "Ninja Nutiness" (D&D Oriental Adventures), "Dies Irae, Dies Eire" (Call of Cthulu d20), "Lep-R-Can Chase" (Paranoia) and "Demo of Doom" (Amtgard).

Balloting for a costume contest will take place throughout the convention, with awards to be handed out at dinner. University rules and regulations prohibit weapons as part of the costumes on the premises.
