Indiecon Information

Who is Indiecon going to appeal to?

Any gamer is welcome at the event as the more we are, the more fun we will have and the more financially viable the whole thing will be. The main gaming hall will be indie/home games as a priority. Other areas can accomodate classics and LG, CoC etc.

As for trade, indie publishers will have priority in the main hall. If there are any spaces left, then we can accomodate other people, however it is not our intention to have mainstream games for sale in the trade hall.

Definition of indie (from the Team's perspective):

anyone who has published a game or supplement as a part time activity or on a small scale, is about to and has something to run for the event. Of course some people will easily fall into that category, others will definately not and there will be a few grey areas in between. We need to see who comes forward and who is prepared to run what. Then we can define how the small guys get priority in the main hall.

Hopefully the format will allow for a good deal of crossover giving regular gamers a chance to discover something new.

Don't think of the main hall as a dingy, dank place where strange people peer at you from the tops of their pages of hand scribbled runes and unreadable stats torn out of an old school text book. This will be a place to really try something new and possibly run a home game or set of house rules, meet some of the writers and publishers who bring you their games and maybe give a game that you would normally just walk past, a chance to catch you off guard. This will not just be a pit of obscure creations.

Think of it as a fun themed environment where you can have a break from a slot of your regular games (D&D, CoC, Spycraft Etc.). There will be plenty of those too we can assure you.
