Get Your Geek on at TempleCon

Gamers and cosplayers come out in full force for the annual gaming con

Posted

For gaming fanatics, there is no better place to be than at a convention packed with all their favorite titles. At TempleCon, gamers get the opportunity to play hundreds of games, including classics like Magic: the Gathering and Super Smash Bros. Whether you’re a total noob or a master of the boards, this convention helps you better your skills and try out some new tactics. Gamers who enjoy a little competition can participate in the Arcade High Score Contest for prizes. If you’re more into costumes than consoles, compete in the Post-Apocalyptic Costume Contest and show off your cosplay skills. When you’re not smashing buttons or posing for pictures, you can even relax in the
giant board gaming lounge.

TempleCon is also packed with live music, vendors, painting, food and even a retro-futuristic fashion show. Seminars and panels throughout the entire weekend cover writing science fiction, creating characters, brewing your own beer and much more. At the wine and spirit appreciation workshops, you can learn about and sample a variety of drinks, including white rum and Scandinavian mead. Whatever your passion is – drinks, games, music, costumes or all of the above – TempleCon is sure to have something for you.
