Welcome to SydCon 2008

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.

Thanks to everyone who came to SydCon 2008

SydCon was a great success thanks to all the attendees, designers, game masters and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you in 2009. In the meantime, don't forget that MacquarieCon and Eyecon are coming.
