Big Bad Blog

Saturday we opened up game reg and wow that was exciting. A flood of happy tweets!

This year, in place of the previous Big Bad GM competition, we are debuting a new event -- The Big Bad Gauntlet. BBG is a new co-op game structure that pits both the players and the GMs against a single adversary.

We're super excited to have so many wonderful offerings this year. Over 180 scheduled events, and nearly 30 games in Games on Demand!

Game submissions closed but we're taking a few more games... Big Bad Con is looking for great gamemasters to run great games that challenge, delight, and welcome our attendees. Run enough games, and we will cover your badge!

Big Bad Con is committed to cultivating a spectacular and diverse gaming community. Our Scholarship Fund goes towards travel, hotel, and badge fees for attendees from marginalized groups who need assistance. In 2019 we were able to offer 20 scholarships up from 13 in 2018, 11 in 2017, up from 7 in 2016, and 4 in 2015.

Three unlikely heroes journey into the curious world of LARP (Live Action Role-Play) to explore what happens when you take pretending to a whole new level.

The Wolf, Little Red, H & G, and even the Goats Gruff have been working their tails off hunting for a gaming den for 2015.

Yesterday the Hilton sent confirmation that they will not wave the overcharge from last year, and that it must be paid before we can book there again.
