TTRPG Pickup Con XX

Buckle In!

Pickup Con XX is set for March 18-20.

Sign-ups open on Saturday at noon CT.

Friends, I’m so thrilled to tell you that Pickup Con XX is already looking like a blowout! We’ve got nine different games being played over 13 sessions registered already and more to come. There are six different systems registered, including one in beta and another released a few months ago.

How was last month for you? I’d love your feedback, whether you were able to play or not. Were the game selections good? Did the timing work for you? How can we get your friends involved? This feedback survey is anonymous and should only take a couple of minutes. Please, let me know how we can improve. I am thrilled to have some upgrades in the works. Your feedback helps us understand where those upgrades can have the most impact.

2/18-2/21: Game Time

Register to play now!

We’re kicking things off and while it’s been a bit of a slow take off this month, I have no doubt we’re still going to have a great time. Several games are available already from systems you know like Mazes, Starscape, Hearts of Wulin, Lobsters and Feelings, DCC, D&D and Call of Cthulhu.

There is still time if you’re a game runner looking for a chance to get something submitted. Keep an eye on @Indecisionist on Twitter or the Shameless Promotion channel on the con’s Discord for updates as games are added.

The most important thing you can do to help out is share the event around with your friends and networks. Let them know what you like about the TTRPG Pickup Con and encourage them to give it a chance. There’s room for everyone!

Next weekend, 2/12 at 1PM it’s time for another Dungeon Barkeep’s Cocktail-a-thon. Join me on twitch as I build five cocktails using randomized ingredients chosen by the roll of my dice. I’m also adding three new drinks to my bar and someone’s got to taste them.

Beginning at 2PM CT and running until about 4:30PM CT

Bust those doors and make sure to get what you want before the holiday season with three days of excellent gaming!

We are live and already the Discord voice channels are a bustle with folks playing the Brimstone Cradle. Not long from the time of writing, we will start the first of three Raptor Peak games for this month. There’s still space in several games and it’s not too late if you want to get in on the fun.

This will be the last TTRPG Pickup Con for the year but if you’re not able to join us, don’t worry. I will be hosting some one shots in December and I’m opening the registration and logistics of the con to all of our Game Runners to put together one shots as well. So, Keep a close eye on the @indecisionist twitter feed and/or the Discord so that you’ll catch all of those announcements as they come out.

*Games hosted as one offs will be open for registration immediately upon posting.

In other exciting news, I have posted the dates for the next four pickup cons. These can be moved if needed. So, please do reach out if you see that there is another community event on the same weekend which I should consider re-scheduling for. These are all visible on the TTRPG Pickup Con Schedule page. Those calendar listings do come with ical and gcal links if you want to add those events to your personal calendar.
