Hi everyone! A small group of us is organising a FREE one-day convention here in Vienna to host indie rpg games and an artist alley. :partying_face:

This convention, we’ll be spotlighting the world of Indie RPGs, which means playing games you might not have had the chance to! Head to our Registration Page to see what games are on offer, and sign up for a slot!

An Indie Game in this context is everything that is not Dungeons & Dragons :grin:


We’ve got 2 slots for indie rpgs:

  • morning sessions from 10:30 - 13:30
  • afternoon sessions from 14:30 - 19:00

Space is unfortunately limited, so registration for the games is required.

Games offered:

Itras By (en/de), Fabula Ultima (en/de), Spire (en), Pagan Pacts (en/de), The Final Seance (en), Cyberpunk RED (en/de), Worldbreaker (en/de), Savage Worlds (en), OSR (de), The Hidden Isle (de), M is for Muscle (en/de)

Artist Ally

We’re really excited to provide space to local game designers and artists to showcase their work and sell their art! The Artist Alley will run downstairs throughout the day, where artists will have their exibits. Make sure to check it out.

Location

You can easily get there using either U6, U4, or 35A, as the station Spittelau is right next to the location. The D and 1 lines also stop close at Liechtenwerder Platz.

do we have to create characters beforehand?

I don’t think so, especially since for some of the games, creating characters is either not necessary or part of the game

all the games will have pregens, or are so simple that you can make the characters on the fly there

Hey,

I only have time for the early games. But there are all already full, is there a option for me that i could play or im to late to have a chance of attending any rounds?

@Ruby

you can try to swing by 20min before it starts and hope that one of the reserved seats remains vacant

there should be 33 players in the earlier slot, so there is a chance that one of those does not make it

good luck :vulcan_salute:

i would also say come by to check out the artists at the venue as well as some local austrian rpgs designers. there also may be one or two dms at the ready if enough people show up and dont have a tables to play at.

Learned about this event too late to join a table, but it sounds awesome so, will definitely come to say hello with my partner, see some art, and meet some fellow nerds!

Are there any ‘aftershow’ coffee/beverage socials or meetings planned?

2 Likes

there will be a presentation by Eliot Baum the one of the artists behind Hidden Isle and there will be just some baordgames and tables for people to mingle near the bar.

no official aftershow planned but very much could spontaneously happen.
