Philcon 2024

Philcon 2024 is coming!

Philcon is a small, literary themed science fiction, fantasy, and horror convention that includes discussion panels, a masquerade and cosplay, dealers' room, art show, anime screening room, and gaming. On the gaming front, this year there will be open gaming (boardgames and CCGs) as well as scheduled gaming (RPGs and miniatures games).

This year scheduled RPG games will include Traveller game, The One Ring, Star Trek Adventures (Modiphius), and Runequest (Chaosium). Other games will include a Vampire: The Eternal Struggle tournament (card game), and several miniatures games including Frostgrave and Stargrave (fantasy and sci fi skirmish miniatures games). More might be added to the schedule between now and the con.

On the gaming panel front we currently have panels on D&D's 50th anniversary, tips for new GMs, worldbuilding, and games for writers. This year we are also happy to welcome Jon Zeigler (who wrote for GURPS Traveller, among other things) as a guest at the con.

Philcon is held at the Doubletree Hotel by Hilton in Cherry Hill (formerly the Crowne Plaza), the same hotel where Monster Mania takes place for folks who have attended that event.

Details on the con can be found on the website here: https://philcon.org/

***IMPORTANT: Note that to participate in gaming and other activities at the con purchase of a con badge is required (see convention website above for details)
