Hey there witches and jack o’lanterns,

BIRCON 2026 is behind us (more on that soon), but it is my spooky pleasure to announce the first event in the "BIRCON Presents" series: Blocksberg Bloodbath: Love, Loss, and the Living Dead.

Held at Tales Untold on Sunday 25th October (yes, a mere 10 days from now 😱), from 17:00–21:00.

Join this special Halloween one-shot and play (alternately) as the necromancer whose betrothed has been abducted or the wedding guests, and the impromptu army of undead they’ve raised to wreak havoc and return them.

Led by two pro GMs, and welcome to all experience levels, this game is guaranteed to feature witchy hi-jinks, pumpkins, laughter, and of course terror most foul.

Tickets are only €4 but limited to 12, and you can pick up one right now at https://ttrpg.events/bircon/bircon-presents-1.

The game uses an early version of the BIRCON RPG—Just add Dice™️ (beta) system designed by Jason Durall (RuneQuest, A Game of Thrones, Conan the Roleplaying Game) and Frank Reding (Hypertellurians, KNOCK!, Knightcore).
