I decided to start putting together a US/Canada tabletop role-playing convention calendar for 2011.  I have already spent around 2 hours simply trying to find what’s out there and am finding it quite difficult.  I have knowledge of many that I was not able to find through simple searching and many more that I have no knowledge about and have not been able to find.

So now I’m putting out a call-out to anyone that wishes to help construct a complete tabletop role-playing convention calendar for 2011.  Please e-mail me at aaron@roleplayerschronicle.com with as much information as you have.  Please include the Date, Name, Location, Website, and a list of known events related to tabletop role-playing.

Please keep in mind that this list is meant only for conventions that contains events and/or publishers involved in the tabletop role-playing industry.
