Can I get a Single Day Ticket?

Not right now. We are still judging the attendance.

That's certainly possible. This first con is sort of a proof of concept. Based on the success of the event and what we learn from it, we may have similar cons at different times and places, including overseas.

Will a lot of the Chaosium team be there?

Many of the Chaosium team will be coming.

What kind of events will the con feature?

The focus will be on all of Chaosium's games, past, present, and future! Lots of games, freeforms, and seminars. It's your chance to meet many of our authors, artists, and editors. Feel free to contact us with event suggestions, especially if you want to help run them.

Will there be events for children?

We will not have any events specifically for children or a child play area.
