You're coming to Big Bad Con! Awesome. Here are some important Con 101 reminders:

Thanks to the wonderful folk at Heart of the Deernicorn, we have t-shirts for 2016! Ross Cowman proposed many custom designs, and the final one was selected online by you!

Big Bad Con is proud to be partnering with the Indie Game Developer Network and their 2016 Metatopia Scholarship!

The wonderful folks at Double Exposure and their Envoy program are bringing Big Bad Con a Social Deduction Room, featuring play-to-win copies of Ultimate Werewolf, One Night, The Resistance, and Coup, sponsored by Bezier Games and Indie Boards & Cards.

Thanks to the wonderful folks from Envoy and the generous contributions for game manufacturers, this year Big Bad Con will return with the Play-To-Win program! And it will be Bigger and Badder than before!

Game signups open tomorrow (Sept 10) at noon PST. Here’s everything you need to know about it:

Over the years, Big Bad Con has developed a history of amazing game designers bringing their game ideas to try out — we love this! This year is no different as we have a bunch of creative people bringing their games to playtest! There are so many great new interesting games it's hard to pick just one. However, I really wanted to highlight Project Biomodus because their team has put in an incredible amount of effort into preparing for the con.

Big Bad Con 2016 is coming up fast. We can’t wait! We’ll be settling into our new home in the Walnut Creek Marriott with 30 private game rooms, fantastically talented special guests running games and panels, and much more. All games are online and scheduled now, and registration opens September 10 at noon (PST)!

For all those wonderful Kickstarter donors who chose the Baba Yaga's Mystery Box, your curated box is in the mail!

Take heart! If you come to Big Bad Con this year, you won’t face the duck knights and psychic schoolgirls and perils of a haunted desert alone. Thanks to the community who really came through on our Kickstarter, we’ve provided a pantheon of special guests—game designers, event-runners, and masterminds alike—to make our journey to the heights and depths of danger (and/or New Jersey) the best it can be.
