BIRCON 2025 is getting closer
Resplendent gamers,
Things are heating up here at BIRCON HQ (which, to be fair, is a Discord channel 😀), as we distribute posters and flyers for what some have called the greatest con in Berlin (no one has called it that… yet!).
Game registration
Progress on the web app that will let you manage your tickets and sign up for games is going great, and we hope to have an announcement about this soon.
Games
A ton of great games have been submitted, but there’s always (well, for now at least) room for more. So if you fancy running a game or two at BIRCON, feel free to sign up, and earn yourself some perks.
And if you’re worried about GMing in “public”, firstly, you probably needn’t be, but also, we hear you, and have planned an AMA stream on that very topic, as well as some panels on levelling up game running at the con. Stay tuned!
Other Events
Have an idea or request about panels, Actual Plays, or something else TTRPG related? It’s not too late to suggest it.
Vendor Spotlight: Isuna Arts
In the run-up to the convention, we’d like to highlight some of the awesome vendors that will be at the show.
Greetings, I am a freelance artist from Berlin, specialized in character illustrations of fantasy, modern, cyberpunk and anthropomorphic characters. I am always looking for conventions to attend and set up my table, that doesn't require me to drive through to the other end of Germany. XD
Organizers’ Corner
What are the BIRCON organizers up to at the moment?
Jason Durall (Chaosium), when not winning ENNIES at Gencon, has celebrated the launch of Age of Vikings, in—where else?—Iceland.
Frank Reding (Mottokrosh Machinations), having successfully kickstarted Wolden Issue 1 earlier in the year, is desperately playtesting and trying to finish issues 2 and 3 in time for BIRCON.
Chris Chinchilla is working on a Mörk Borg expansion he hopes to launch at the con, and is working on a new interactive storytelling tool that uses AI the right way. Try chosenpath.ai today!
Discord
We’ve just added a channel where you can advertize games in need of extra players or perhaps a GM! 😄
Finally, BIRCON needs You
Please spread the word about our convention — nothing helps more than word of mouth. If you have friends, acquaintances, or people you met in the Späti once, who mentioned even in passing that they might be TTRPG curious, let them know about BIRCON!
