ArneCon Returns to Minneapolis

The second edition of the gaming convention will take place from October 4 to 6.

Calling all dwarves, druids and dungeon masters: ArneCon 2, the second edition of the gaming convention honoring Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Dave Arneson, is returning to Minneapolis. The convention will take place from October 4 to 6 at the Park Place DoubleTree Hotel.

ArneCon2 will feature several different games across different genres, including role-playing games, war games and board games. It will also feature numerous special guests, including some of the original D&D players.

“This is shaping up to be the biggest meeting of the original “Blackmoor Bunch” in many years!” the ArneCon2 website says.

The special guests include Blackmoor demo participant and Greyhawk supplement author Robert Kuntz, tabletop RPG designer and The Escapist co-founder Alexander Macris, RPG adventure author and actor Ronin Wong and Malia Arneson, Dave’s daughter.

RPG sessions at ArneCon 2 will include Into The Wild Blue Yonder, an adventure written and refereed by Kuntz using AD&D 1E rules, Adventure Conqueror King System refereed by game author Macris, and Rahaisa, a Daystar original version of a D&D adventure from 1980 refereed by Wong.

Three-day badges for ArneCon 2 are available on the convention’s website for $50.
