Modcon 2020 is going to be a free online convention running from Dec. 3rd – Dec. 6th! Let’s check out what we know already.
They are going to be running some great panels, game events, GM segments, and big announcements. This is going the way many of the cons have this year, free and online! While it’s more fun to go in person, it’s always nice to check everything out for free.
If you love any of Modiphius’ games, this will be a great time. They have a ton of amazing product licenses, so there should be something for everyone. Check out our coverage here to see everything they have going on. Let’s take a closer look at the conference!
Modiphius Announces Modcon 2020!
There are three main events going on: gaming, panels, and how to be a great GM. Let’s hear a little bit more of it from them:
Modiphius has announced an online convention running from 3rd-6th December. The event will run alongside UK’s Dragonmeet convention with some shared panels and content as we celebrate the gaming community together.
Panels:
Modiphius will be presenting a wide range of panels about our games including streamed games of the 2d20 Dune and Fallout RPGs with panels covering the latest news on our range of RPGs and miniatures games.
Modiphius is also teaming up with Guy Sclanders ‘How to be a Great GM’ on YouTube – to create a weekend of GM focused panels. Guy has assembled a great line-up of talent from the role-playing community for a weekend-long festival, celebrating what it means to be a great Gamemaster (see more below)
MODCon panels start from 7 pm UK time each day on the 4th, 5th, and 6th December on the Modiphius Twitch channel, with Dragonmeet’s panels running during the day on the 5th December so fans have an even wider selection to attend.
Gaming:
Both ModCon and Dragonmeet partnered with Start Playing Games who will be helping GMs and players connect for the weekend of events – you can hop over there now and create a game – why not GM Star Trek, Infinity, Conan, Vampire, Mutant Chronicles, John Carter, Dishonored, Odyssey of the Dragonlords (or others) and find some new players?
How to be a Great GM:
You want to get into role-playing games, and maybe you’ve played a few, but now you want to lead your game. You want to become a Gamemaster. Or perhaps you’re already a GM and want to take your games to the next level?
Each panel has been designed to take you on a journey. From beginning steps to more advanced tips and tricks, you’ll go from not knowing how to play anything, to having the confidence to try your hand at several great RPGs. By the end of the weekend, you’ll be ready to run your games like a pro.
That does it for the announcement, but be sure to go sign up for more info!
