12:30-6:00 Open Gaming: Each RPG will last between 3-5 hours. There are plenty of board games and gm'less games to fill the extra time so we hope you'll get to "date" a few choices!

Address/ Directions

Parking:
MCC has a parking garage- the Lower Docks Garage off of Warren Street with a walkway to the MCC building. There is also on-street parking, but it is limited.

Registration:
Register by June 3rd so we know how many snacks and games to get and prep! On site registration works too, but we may have to do some shuffling so we would love if you register ahead of time!

Admission is free!

If you partake of the snack table, we ask that you contribute $3 to the snack fund.

We will be collecting game donations that we will gift to a local charity that donates toys and games to children in foster care, so bring a gently used game appropriate for kids!

    The location IS wheelchair accessible!

    And this is a GREAT opportunity for someone who has never gamed to try it out, or if you haven't in a while. That's what the day is for!

    Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday! Feel free to walk in if you decide you want to spend your Saturday with a fun bunch- we'd prefer to know how many people are coming, but walkins are ok too.

    Go to the main entrance of Middlesex Community College and follow the signs to the cafeteria!

    We'll be going out to eat afterwards, so if you want to hang out, plan on staying!

    This was a great idea and nicely run. Great job to the organizers and each table GM!

    Everything a mini-con should me. No muss, no fuss. Just an afternoon of gaming. Was a little sceptical of the speed gaming format at first. But the GM's had all done the necessary prep to get it done right.

    It was a lot of fun. I brought my kids, and all of the people there were super friendly, willing to teach people new games.
