SomerCon: A Mini TTRPG Convention

NOTE: You MUST have a main entry ticket to sign up for any of the add-ons!

SomerCon!

A not-so-mini TTRPG convention right here in our own backyard. A time for Somerville nerds to gather, play games, swap dice, paint minis, learn from each other, snag cool stuff, and generally have a blast. We can't wait to welcome you all to the Armory for an awesome day!

SCHEDULE

FULL DETAILS OF GAMES, PANELS AND WORKSHOPS ARE AT SOMERCON.COM.

Doors will open to all attendees at 10:30am. Those with daytime-only badges will need to leave by 6:30pm. The evening Dungeons & Drag Nuns actual play performance of "Warrenguard" will go from 8-11pm.

The summarized schedule of events is attached here in all its fantastical glory. To see the details of all the games, panels and workshops, head on over to SomerCon.com.
