PREPARE for a gaming convention like no other! TempleCon 2010 is gearing up for a weekend that embodies the spirit of temporal creation, featuring a plethora of games, performances, stories, 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, piracy, and revolutionary mayhem (this is Rhode Island, after all!), and you have a time-bending Retro-Futurist experience the likes of which no other convention dares to offer.
TempleCon 2010 features the finest in modern role-playing, bringing you over 50 role-playing events including the premiere of the Unhallowed Metropolis theatre game by its creators along with multiple Unhallowed Metropolis table-top sessions including one led by writer Nicole Vega, plus the release of the hardcover version of the Unhallowed Metropolis “Up the River” campaign with a book signing by author Simon Berman and artist Robert Tritthardt, additional guest of honor game-master sessions of Call of Cthulhu led by artist and performer Rick Sardinha and writer C.J. Henderson, Eclipse Phase sessions run by writer and designer Jack Graham, as well as 25 RPGA events, plus sessions of Deadlands, Dogs in the Vineyard, Shadowrun, and more, in an uncommonly high-class venue for the ultimate convention experience. Also expect more industry guests, independent game developers, 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 for the best TempleCon yet!
