Virtual Mini-Wellycon 2020

We know everyone was very disappointed when Wellycon had to be postponed this year and it’s left a big hole in our community. Wellycon is, after all, about building community through games. So we’ve decided to do something!

• Online Lobby – to welcome everyone in, coordinate games with others and generally support you
• Playing games – if it’s your first time, we’ll get you into something; there will be virtual ‘rooms’ to organise yourselves to play remotely
• Tournaments – two tournaments with instant online rewards and IRL prizes being mailed out later
• Special Guests/Demos – yes, we have some very special people coming from NZ and around the world to run play-alongs, QnA with famous designers, demo upcoming /recent releases and interactive quizzes
• This Game Is Broken (TGiB) – Current Golden Geek nominee for Best Podcast, TGiB is a board game panel show where a bunch of idiots get given a bunch of idiotic things to do. Dave Luza, master of the board game parody song, will quiz attendees with fun interactive activities until somebody gets some points!
• Family game designer Bez – All the way from the UK, Bez designs word- and creative-games for all ages. A full-time game designer & web personality for 6 years, their credits include YOGI, the ELL deck and MuckELL.
• Escape this Con - escape room artists, Escape Mate, have lined up something special just for virtual mini-wellycon.
• D&D – learn to play D&D with an experienced GM (GameMaster). Create a character and experience an adventure all within a couple of hours.

FREE – we know people are struggling so the entire event is free; although if you have fun, we would love it if, those who can, do contribute towards costs.
