A new RPG convention in Sydney

Pre-registration is now Closed!

 The group that brought you SydCon 2006, SydCon 2007 and soon SydCon 2008 is proud to announce a new RPG convention to be held in Sydney.

Eyecon will run over the Easter Long Weekend. It will be located at St Scholastica's College (just like SydCon). A variety of game genres are available, including regular table-top games (such as D&D) and ongoing campaigns (such as those organised by the RPGA), and free-forms (live-action games) including the Camarilla and SinCity groups. Players generally play in teams of five, although there is room for smaller or larger groups (down to one), and free-forms generally run with at least fifteen. Other types of games will also be on offer, including board games, miniature wargames, and collectible card games.
