Philcon 2025 - in person science fiction, fantasy & horror convention!

Mark your calendars, folks - Philcon 2025 will be happening the weekend of Nov. 21-23 this year!

Philcon has a full weekend of programming including speakers, panel discussions, a Masquerade, art show, dealer room, tabletop gaming, and more.

The principal speaker this year will be author and game designer Charles E. Gannon (https://charlesegannon.com). Traveller fans may remember his many articles for GDW's Challenge Magazine back in the day; he also wrote novelizations for Task Force Games' Starfire game.

This year at Philcon we have a good selection of games on offer:
- Runequest (for the Chaosium 50th anniversary this year).
- Two different Traveller games.
- A game of Dune and one of Star Trek Adventures (both using the Modiphius 2d20 system and GM'd by author and game designer Jon Zeigler, who wrote a bunch of the books for GURPS Traveller).
- An OGRE Miniatures game run by Joseph Bloch, creator of the Greyhawk Grognard podcast/blog and publisher of OSR games via BRW Games).

The gaming room also features a boardgame library, various other organized board/card game play, and tables for open gaming.

Note that Philcon is a convention and purchase of a badge is required to participate in the activities. Details on badge costs and the convention overall can be found here: https://philcon.org.
