- At JaniCon 2008, the swords and spells will be in your hands. Are you prepared for En Garde?
Yes, "fight shows" are fun, but it's time that the fans themselves be the stars of the show. JaniCon is proud to announce En Garde, a live-action game based on many classic RPG combat systems. Choose your class, arm yourself, form a party, and enter the heat of combat against your fellow attendees. You'll be able level up, collect items, and challenge bosses from some of your favorite video games in a unique, immersive setting. Are you a warrior, ready to cut through the most powerful of foes? Perhaps you prefer the dark arts, hurling fireballs in the faces of your enemies. Maybe white magic is more appealing, giving you the ability to carry your party through the toughest of challenges. It's your choice at JaniCon: En Garde!
