TempleCon 2011

Get ready for an EPIC Retro-Futurist Convention like no other. TempleCon 2011 is gearing up for a weekend that embodies the spirit of temporal creation, featuring a plethora of games, performances, stories, music, vendors, and diversions that explore Retro-Futurist genres such as Steampunk, Neo-Victorianism, Weird West, Dieselpunk, Decopunk, Raygun Gothic, and Cyberpunk - all past visions of the future that are being re-examined in modern times and re-envisioned in modern terms. These are anachronisms with attitude, independence and idealism versus monolithic conformity and control, girded with the true grit and superior fashion sense required to go adventuring in the wasteland of civilization's decay. Mix in a healthy helping of elder gods and revolutionary mayhem, and you have a time-bending Retro-Futurist experience the likes of which no other convention dares to offer. TempleCon 2011 also features the finest in modern gaming, bringing countless RPGs, CCGs, Miniature Wargames, Board Games, LARPs, and more into an uncommonly high-class venue for the ultimate convention experience. Expect industry guests, live performances, panels, classes, vendors, demos, parties, and all sorts of other debauchery, and you'll know why people everywhere are saying that TempleCon is taking the classic geek culture stereotype and knocking it on its ear.  Join us this February 4-6 for the best TempleCon yet!
