A Fan-Operated Science Fiction and Fantasy Literary and Filk Convention in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area

Gaming

Roll 3d20 for excitement: Our bigger, better gaming area was a hit in 2005 so we're bringing it back even stronger this year. We've got open gaming, miniature games, card games, board games, and all sorts of cool stuff.

All the gaming is free for all members of FenCon and the Dallas Future Society. All games are scheduled in four-hour blocks and a big chunk of that schedule appears below. As always, there will be more gaming opportunities announced on-site during the convention.
