Your badge gives you access to all open gaming areas, the 1,000+ game library,
and any free-play events for the days covered by your badge type. Some structured
events (tournaments, RPG sessions, Blood on the Clocktower) require pre-registration
through Tabletop Events and may have limited seats.
Most open gaming is drop-in — grab a game from the library and find a table.
Structured events like tournaments, RPG sessions, and Blood on the Clocktower
fill up fast, so pre-registration is strongly recommended. You can register for
events through Tabletop Events
once you have a badge.
The registration desk is located in the hotel lobby near the convention entrance.
If you pre-registered, your badge will be printed and waiting for you — just give
your name. Walk-up purchases are also available at the registration desk for the
duration of the convention.
Find a volunteer or visit the registration desk and we’ll look you up in the
system. We can reprint your badge — just be ready to provide the name and email
address used when you registered.

Yes! Our game library has over 1,000 titles. Ask a volunteer at the library desk
to check out any game — just leave your badge as a deposit while you have it.
Return it when you’re done and your badge comes right back.
Absolutely. Bring whatever you want to play. You’re also welcome to set a game
out on an open gaming table with a “looking for players” sign — it’s a great
way to meet new people.
Featured Games are a hand-picked selection of titles available for anyone to grab
and demo at any time during the convention. Copies are kept at the front of the
game library area — no check-out required, just pick one up and play.
Play to Win is a program where publishers donate copies of games for attendees to
win. Play a designated Play to Win game, fill out an entry form, and you could
win that copy to take home! Look for Play to Win games in the open gaming area
and ask a volunteer if you have questions.
Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game (think Mafia or Werewolf, but
significantly deeper) where a Storyteller runs a group of 5–20 players through a
murder mystery. It’s one of the most talked-about games of the past few years.
Sessions run throughout the weekend — check the schedule for times and pre-register
if you want a guaranteed seat.
