Denver Convention Center Room CCC 109
Dust off that +2 dwarven breastplate or diamond sword and join us at the 3rd Annual LAN Party at ISTE in Denver! This event is a great opportunity to network and share your favorite games, classes, and roles with your peers.
The LAN Party is on Monday, June 27th at 5:30pm in Room CCC109. This event is open to ISTE members and their family and friends. We will have tables for Minecraft, Dungeons and Dragons, Hearthstone, Interactive Fiction, Old School Games, ARK, Bloxels, and Magic: The Gathering! Feel free to bring your own computing device and socialize with other players! Come celebrate all games digital, tabletop, cards, and more! This is entirely social but you will see evidence of people successfully mixing business (learning) with pleasure (fun, flow and fiero)!
​
P.S. Cosplay or wearing something game related is never required but always encouraged.
For people who would just like to play and chat a bit....
Minecraft

Yes this is the original! Table top, dice rolling, role-play game that inspired all of the other sword and sorcery video games. Russell will be your Dungeon Master (DM) and play the lead storyteller and referee. Bring your die and character sheets (we'll have extra if you don't have them or know what they are). You and your fellow adventurers will be going on a quest. D & D Basic Rules
