There's plenty of room at the table, so make sure to show up over the weekend and find a game. We'll be leaving the system open for you to log in and confirm your schedule, but no changes after 10.30am today will be official.
23 September - Living Forgotten Realms games now open: The wait is over and you can now register for all the D&D goodness you can shake a sword at. Register now!
Due to the special nature of scheduling these games, you need to bear the following in mind.
- players must put the level they intend to play each game at in the "RPGA info" field
- in the event that players do not have a character of appropriate level on the day, they may have to play up or down a tier, or we can reschedule them
- we recommend people register in teams to better co-ordinate their schedules and improve the likelihood of playing modules at their preferred level
21 September - A Wedding at Axbridge now open: A data entry error has now been corrected, and this game is open for players. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
18 September - Convention Banquet details now confirmed! We will be going to the Flying Fajita Sisters in Glebe

About Sydcon
SYDCON is a role-playing convention run by the Sydney Roleplaying Games, Inc. It runs each year in October in Sydney. The main purpose of the convention is for role-players to play prepared games or events in 3-hour sessions. The SYDCON convention originally started out small but has grown to become one of the friendliest role-playing conventions in Australia.
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), and there will be a blend of new games and "Classic" ones: games that have run at previous conventions.
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.
