MEPACon 49 (RPG Convention near Allentown, PA)

The Mid-Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Convention, a.k.a. MEPACon, is a three-day gaming convention in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania that runs in spring and fall. It features all kinds of games from social board and card games to tabletop and live-action role-playing. Besides gaming, they have a wide variety of vendors and events, including contests, auctions, game raffles and a game playtest area.

It is held at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Allentown Lehigh Valley at 7736 Adrienne Dr., Breinigsville, PA 18031.

Several experienced GMs will be running a variety of games at various time slots throughout the 3 days of the convention. You can pre-register for the games you want to play on the Tabletop Events schedule here, which shows the specific time slots and adventure titles - https://tabletop.events/conventions/mepacon-49-fall-2025-/schedule

So far they have offerings of:
Dungeons and Dragons, 1st Edition
Dungeons and Dragons, 5th Edition
Call of Cthulhu, 7th Edition
One Page Rules - Age Of Fantasy Skirmish

There will be several seminars on "Improv Techniques for TTRPGs and LARP" by Marc Lombardi, an avid TTRPG player, GM and has been performing Comedy Improv at Bethlehem Steelstacks since 2022.

MEPACon is teaming up with Break My Game to bring a dedicated playtesting section to the convention. Game designers with unpublished games can sign up for two-hour sessions for a dedicated table. Attendees at the convention are invited to sit down and try out a brand new game and to give feedback.

NOTE: Since my free time is constrained as a new dad and I'm not sure I can go, this will be unhosted - i.e. you shouldn't expect to see me there. However, if you plan to go, I encourage you to connect & coordinate with our other group members who plan to go via comments on this event and/or through direct messaging.
