Arcanacon XXIII

Games and Events

Not only, but also...

Arcanacon is a trembling house of cards!

Well, not exactly, but without

  • the generous support of our Sponsors,
  • the organisational ability of the conorgs,
  • the tireless efforts of writers and GMs,
  • and the efforts all our players,
the Con wouldn't really last very long.

In short, it is dependant on the generosity of the community of gamers that come each year to Arcanacon.

Freeform Roleplaying Events
Freeform events usually involve large groups of people - usually more than 10, and sometimes more than 20 - gathering into one large game. Typically emphasis is on character interaction rather than dice-based gaming, and costumes are often encouraged.

Tabletop Roleplaying Events
'Tabletop' gaming has been the traditional dice&paper type of roleplaying game that many con-goers are familiar with, but as roleplaying has evolved, it has grown to include systemless and multiform games - games without dice, and in some cases even without a table.

RPGA Living Campaign Events
A selection of Living modules for your pre-existing characters.

Miniatures and Wargaming Events
Not only the insanely popular Arcanacon WarHammer 40K minature tournament, this year we also have two other events and a demonstration game to tempt you into a weekend of battle.

Special Events
Each year Arcanacon organises a number of special events for the Con in addition to the roleplaying events - they range from Baron Munchausen, a storytelling game to CheapAss Game demos and a Trivia Contest.
