General Information
Arcanacon XVI will be held at Collingwood College, corner of Cromwell St and McCutcheon Way, Collingwood, Melbourne. (Melways 2C, G9)
The convention begins at 1.00 PM on Thursday 2nd July. When you arrive, go to the registration desk where our friendly staff will hand you your convention badge, program book and personalised timetable. At this stage, you will find out about any new events or activities that have been added to the Convention. Next, confirm your schedule with the organisers of the various games. If you enter any additional games, arrange times to play them now. If you sent in your entry after the late fee date, you will need to do all your timetabling when you arrive at the Con.
"What is Arcanacon?"
Arcanacon is a roleplaying games convention which has been running since 1983. Arcanacon provides a venue for roleplayers of all ages to gather and enjoy a wide variety of games.
Attractions at Arcanacon include tournaments in many different genres, ranging from traditional "round the table" games and trading card games, to the more mobile, "freeform" style games. Trophies and/or prize certificates are awarded to winners in most tournaments.
Come along to the convention to try new styles of games, play old favourites and give yourself the opportunity to meet likeminded, fun-loving gamers!
Visitors
Visitors are welcome. There is a $2.00 per day entry charge. If you wish to enter any tournaments you must register as a player. Visitors do not need to pre-register.
Places are limited in all tournaments. Most are booked out before the Convention begins, so enter early to avoid missing out on the events you really want to play.
There will be 13 timetabled sessions during the Convention. Times for these are indicated in the entry form. Please do not enter more than 11 sessions unless you can organise an out of hours session. It is important that you check your session times, even during the Con., as we are not responsible for missed sessions.
Thursday’s playing sessions are at 2 and 5pm. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the doors open at 8.30am. The last sessions on Friday and Saturday finish at 9.30 pm. On Sunday, the final session finishes at 6.30pm, and is followed by an Awards Ceremony.
Tournaments may be entered during the Convention if places and session times are available.
Please note that final confirmation of entry into tournaments and times of play will not be available until the convention begins. All tournaments are subject to variation without notice.
GMs
We still need additional GMs for some tournaments. Anyone interested in helping should contact the organisers as soon as possible. Full-time GMs (ie GMing 7 or more sessions) do not pay any registration fee. Part-time GMs do not pay a registration fee unless they are also playing tournaments. All GMs must pay the relevant fees for any tournaments they play.
The Small Print: ARCANACON is run by Random Inc, a non-profit incorporated organisation. All time, effort, blood, sweat, cardboard umbrellas, elephant’s foot umbrella stands, wooden legs and gold lipstick holders are voluntarily donated.
