Posted by Michael O'Brien on 8th May 2024
Chaosium Con Australia is now just a month away - June 8-9 in Melbourne, Australia.
Here's the draft schedule (so far – more events are being added daily!) We have over 100 events already including tabletop gaming sessions, board games, seminars, VIP games, plus an auction and the Stream of Chaos actual play show. And our international guests, Mike Mason, Andrew Logan Montgomery, and Bridgett Jeffries!
Plus there are a couple of special surprises we'll announce soon!
Next week we'll be opening up the schedule on Tabletop Events. Everyone with a badge will be able to book the sessions they'd like to be part of. Please note that apart from VIP games, all events are included free as part of the convention ticket.
But to book your sessions you MUST first of all buy a convention ticket: get your badge here!
