The theme this year is superheroes, so get ready for a truly epic event! Come in your best superhero cosplay, run a themed game, paint a heroic figurine, or bring your most villainous character idea. Of course, we’ll also have our outstanding lineup of tournaments, special programming, boardgames, RPGs, and miniatures games, as well as our Kids’ Track programming for gamers 6 and up. So, bring the whole family and enjoy a weekend of gaming, camaraderie, and spectacle!

See the schedule: Game registration will be open from August 15th to September 25th. After that time, the schedule will still be visible, but you will need to sign up for any events you wish to attend on the game sheets at RinCon. See you there!
Volunteer at RinCon: We need logistical help prior to the convention, contact us to talk about how to get involved and get a free or reduced-cost membership. Volunteer for 4 hours at the event, and the rest of that day you get in free.

Registration for RinCon is NOW open. Online registration will close on Monday, September 25th, in order to give us time to prepare our registration materials. You can still buy your badge at the door for the same price.
