Welcome to DunDraCon

The West Coast's Premier Game Convention

Countdown to DDC36:

[clock1]

Convention Book now Online

The DDC 36 Convention book is now available.

Convention Pre-Registration is closed

Memberships are now only available at the door.

Games Pre-reg is open!

Online Pre-reg allows you to sign up for session P games (there will be no paper sign-up slips for Session P), and, because of the time change, you may want to sign up for Session 1 online.

Ah, heck, sign up for all your games beforehand, and don't worry about getting to Games Reg. during the run of the Con! Please note that we cannot accept priority slips online. You can change your game choices before the con by re-sending an Online form, or at the con with the "Override" slips that will be available at Games Reg.

Open Gaming form is available!

Planning to run a game in Open Gaming? You can advertise it using our Open Gaming Form. Looking for open games? Youcan search for your game in the Event Database.

We’re opening even earlier!

DunDraCon 36 will have expanded hours of operation, opening for business by 10 AM Friday.

Session P official games will start as early as noon on Friday, and Session 1 official games will start as early as 6:00 PM Friday. Our at-convention game registration will have earlier closing times for Sessions 1, 2 and 5.

If you can’t get to the convention on Friday afternoon to sign up for games, consider electronic Games Registration, which opens February 1.

Let your friends know about these schedule changes—we don’t want anyone to miss out!

Red Cross blood drive

DunDraCon will host a Red Cross Blood drive on Saturday, Feb. 18th from Noon to 6 PM. Cookies, Juice and a DunDraCon Blood Ribbon for all donors! Click on the "Schedule an Appointment" link to sign up before the con (walk-ups gratefully accepted, but it's always better to have a reservation). Our Sponsor Code is "DunDraCon".

Sparky's Kin available for adoption

Hilary Powers, creator of fine felt creatures from Salamander Feltworks, will have a limited number of Sparky Kin available for adoption at the convention - She plans to be in the Buyer's Bazaar late in the session on Friday and Saturday. She'll have other potential adoptees with her as well.

Bay Bridge westbound closure on President's Day weekend

The Westbound level of the Bay Bridge will be closed from 8 p.m. on Friday Feb. 17 until 5 a.m. on Monday Feb. 21. Eastbound traffic should be unaffected, so if you're coming from the Peninsula or San Francisco Airport, you'll be fine, but may want to make alternative plans to return on Monday (just in case...). The closure will have different effects on Public transit such as BART, ferries and AC Transit.

The Hotel it is a-Changing...

The Marriott remodeled the Salon area, forcing us to make some changes in where things are - Convention Registration will now be in the Hotel Lobby opposite the hotel front desk, where the Info Table used to be; the Information table/Volunteer HQ will merge with Game Reg and LARP Central in the salon area opposite Salon C, where the Convention Reg used to be.

The DDC committee visited the Marriot on January 8th, to see what they'd done. You can see a report by choosing the "Community" button, then "Hotel Remodel".

DunDraCon's First Ever Dress-Up Day!

This year, on the Saturday of DunDraCon, we encourage you to dress up as whatever strikes your fancy. Pirate? Ninja? Pirate-Ninja? Time Lord? Sandwich? Orc? Grand Moff Tarkin? We'd love to see all sorts wandering the halls. But wait! There's incentive! (As if you needed a reason to dress up at DunDraCon... ). If you come down to show your costume off to Ariel of the Committee at the Games Reg Table between 1pm and 2pm on Saturday, you'll be entered into a drawing for FABULOUS PRIZES including a refund of your registration fee. Start planning now!

Ride/Room share database now available

DunDraCon unveils a new database: Ride and Room Share! Looking for a ride to or from Dundracon? Want a room, or looking for a roommate? You can now post your requests and offers, and search for those already posted.

Note: this database is simply a way to post requests and offers, like a classified ad in the newspaper or on Craigslist. DunDraCon is not going to match you up, or help with negotiating rates or payment in any way.

DunDraCon Rates at the Courtyard Marriott now available

The Courtyard Marriott is one of our alternate hotels, located across the freeway from the San Ramon Marriott. We have locked in rates for DunDraCon 2012; see the Hotel Page for more information and direct links to their reservation system.

"Do it Yourself RPGs" Seminars Links

Randy Angle has given us the link to his materials for the "Do it Yourself RPGs" seminars presented by Randy Angle, Paul Gunn and Steve Perrin at DDC 35.

DunDraCon Webstore Now Open

Now you can get official DunDraCon mugs, hats, bags or stickers! Just follow this link to our Web Store, or click on the "DDC Cafepress" button in the header bar.
