Welcome to SYDCON 

WE HAVE NOT UPDATED OUR SITE FOR SYDCON 2013 AS YET. KEEP AN EYE OUT IN THE COMING MONTHS FOR UPDATES AND INFORMATION

ABOUT SYDCON

SYDCON is a role-playing convention run by the Sydney Roleplaying Games Association. It runs each year in October in Sydney. 

Sydcon is a chance for both new and experienced role-players to play games prepared by our friendly team of volunteer gamemasters. The SYDCON convention originally started out  small, but has grown to become one of the friendliest role-playing conventions in Australia.

New to role-playing? Never been to a role-playing convention before? Go to our Info page for answers and more detailed information.

A variety of game genres are available, including regular table-top games (such as Dungeons and Dragons), ongoing campaigns, and free-forms (sometimes known as live-action games or LARPs).

Players may sign up individually or in teams of around five, although there is room for smaller or larger groups. As well as role-playing, other types of games will also be on offer, including board games, miniature wargames, and collectible card games. See our games page for what's on offer this year.

25th September 2012: Pre-registration for SYDCON is now closed. But don't worry if you missed out as you can still turn up on the day and sign up for games. Look forward to seeing you there.

19th September 2012: Just letting everyone know that we'll be closing pre-registration for SYDCON next Monday night (24th of September). After this date you won't be able to add any games to your schedule or change your schedule until the first day of the convention (everything will be locked in). So make sure you finalise your games list before this date. If you haven't pre-registered yet, there's still plenty of slots available in some excellent games. You can register for games on the day, but pre-registration guarantees you get to play what you want, when you want.
