Hi all,
MacquarieCon is a roleplaying convention run by the Macquarie University Roleplaying Society (MURPS). It runs each year in the second weekend of December at Macquarie University Sydney.
Macquarie university is extremely easy to get to, with it's very own brand new Train station - so transport is a breeze. There is ample (but paid) parking right outside the venue, unpaid parking outside the university, and one of Sydney's biggest Shopping centres (The Macquarie Centre) next door for the usual gaming snacks and miscellaneous junk food..
Sydney Shadowlodge will be hosting a range of PFS Sessions over the course of the con, including some of the new levels of Thornkeep (the kickstarter exclusive) and the latest Pathfinder Module for PFS: Murder's Mark.
There is always a track of games for brand new players, low level PCs, and high level shenanigans!
We will be running two slots Friday and Saturday, and one longer slot on the Sunday. (Catering for Mods we know tend to go overtime)
Registration will be going live shortly, but for more information please check out our Facebook page:

It is possible to prepurchase cheaper casual parking tickets. If you are interested in that send an email to murps.president(at)gmail.com. For more information on parking, please see this website.
Travel by Bus
Buses from the City to Macquarie University depart frequently on both weekdays and weekends. Buses leave from the Queen Victoria Building at Stand C. You will need to catch a 288, 289, 290 or 292. It may also be possible to catch a bus directly from your place of residence to Macquarie University. See 131500.info to find out if this is possible.
