The Gaming Room never closes!
Gaming is a significant part of our convention at RavenCon. Such a large part that our game room never closes; it’s open 24-3 for all the avid gamers. (48 hours straight!) You will find every type of game and gamer represented in the game room—from the novice to the experienced gamer, from the hardcore to the casual.
Many new games have appeared and have been playtested at RavenCon, so keep your eyes open for a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
Game styles vary from table to table. You will find role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons & Dragons, Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder, or Project Crusaders. Card games such as Magic: The Gathering and Villagers are common. Epic miniature games such as Battle Tech are crowd-pleasing games and as much fun to view as they are to play. There are also amazing board games such as King of Monster Island, Kleos, and Carcassonne; you may even find people battling it out over a classic game of chess!
If you’re interested in running a game (or games) at RavenCon in 2026, please fill out one of our Game Master Applications. Thanks!
48-Hour Cthuluthon!
This year, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of H.P. Lovecraft writing “The Call of Cthulhu” in the summer of 1926, the Gaming Room will be holding a Cthulhuthon— 48 hours of non-stop Cthulhu! One table will host board games that use the Cthulhu mythos, like Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, Reign of Cthulhu, Cthulhu: Death May Die, as well as others. Another table will be dedicated to 48 hours of the Call of Cthulhu RPG with round robin Game Masters. Come and play as long as your Sanity will allow. And if that still isn’t enough Cthulhu for you, the Escape Room will be running a brand new Cthulhu-themed scenario this year as well!
During the Call of Cthulhu RPG game, observers will be allowed to buy favors for the players (re-rolls, bonuses, etc.) with all money raised going to Second Chance Heroes.
