Time is running out to pre-register for KantCon. We close online badge purchases on July 8th, and the price to get in goes up at the door. So get your badge today! There are a lot of great reasons to attend this year! Check out the special buy-in-game of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition being run by Nathan Panke. The “Dungeonesque: Deadman's Party” event is a preview of new product coming soon, and not only do you get to play the game, but you’ll walk home with a copy of the setting book that it’s based on! The charity auction will also be back this year. We have several items that can be bid on, and all proceeds will benefit one of our exhibitors, Extra Life! There will be a Star Wars

We’re officially one month out from the convention!!! I don’t know about you, but my excitement is starting to set in. The event list on Warhorn just keeps growing! Be sure to check it out and grab a seat in the events that catch your eye before they fill up! We still have some spots in our BIGs, including two of our creepier board games! Check out the Mansions of Madness BIG on Friday night, where you explore an eerie location and have to work together with your fellow players to survive the horrors within! Or check out the Zombicide Black Plague Event and join Ash from the Evil Dead on an adventure stretching from medieval times to modern day S-Mart! Both games feature prizes for players a

Do you remember the last time you got so into a game that you lost track of time? Spent what felt like minutes going on a quest only to look up and realize that hours had gone by? Perhaps you felt kinda bad as you remember all the things you were supposed to get done, but instead fell by the wayside? Been there. Done that. But what if you could turn those hours into something really productive, like giving back to the community? And all without having to put down the dice or controller? There’s this great organization out there that we at KantCon proudly support, Extra Life! Runners have their marathons for charities, why shouldn’t gamers? Extra Life makes it really easy to turn those hours

Summer is nearly upon us and KantCon is ramping up! As of Monday, we have 166 registered events -- all designed to provide you either adventure, entertainment, relaxation, instruction, laughter, excitement, suspense, education, or a combination of some or all of these! We can’t wait for you to join us at a table or two and play some games. But to make this convention really come together, we also can use your help. There are several ways to get involved. Do you know how to play a lot of board games and like coaching other people on how to play? Become a Facilitator for our Board Games on Demand. You can set your own schedule and list a few games for attendees to choose from. If intere

Have you wanted to try out Miniature painting in the past and been intimidated by it? Did you try it out and want to learn some tips and tricks? Are you an experienced painter who wants to exchange ideas? We can’t think of a better way than hands-on experience! We are excited to announce that KantCon will host another Paint and Take event this year with even more table space! In 2014, the Paint and Take event run by Michelle Blastenbrei was very popular, so much so that there was barely an empty seat the entire convention. A schedule conflict caused Michelle to be unable to attend KantCon 2015 and we learned that she was greatly missed based on your feedback. So this year we will have not on

For all our returning KantCon friends, (and new ones too!) don’t forget to pick up your 2016 KantCon dice! Not only will they make a great set with the ones you got last year, but is there anything luckier than KantCon dice? (I know for a fact Cedric blows on them all, and he’s way better than Lady Luck.) Check out the cool new design to the right. If you got in on our Moderate, Critical, or VIG Early Bird packages, a set will be waiting for you when you arrive at the convention. If you need more dice (I understand completely), or missed out on the Early Bird Specials, you can grab them now at the link below! They can be yours at 50 cents a d6, or $10 for a full dice set! For those of you wh
