Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you arrive

Badges & Registration

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 near the convention entrance at the Clarion Hotel. 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.

At the Convention

  • Your badge (printed or the confirmation email on your phone)
  • Cash and/or card for vendors
  • Comfortable shoes — you’ll be on your feet!
  • Any games you’d like to share with other attendees
  • A snack or two if you don’t want to step away from the table

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.
