The convention combines two of the library’s previous events -- Role Playing Game Fest and 2023 Game Designer Expo -- to create a gaming extravaganza. There will be presentations on topics ranging from running a successful Kickstarter campaign and game dynamics to worldbuilding and managing games like a professional.

Monsterhearts and The Quiet Year creator Avery Alder will give a keynote talk on queer representation in tabletop games.

Convention attendees can also participate in 60-minute and 90-minute tabletop role-playing game (RPG) sessions led by local game masters.

When: Saturday, April 13: 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
