Sheboygan NonCon, “The Quick & Dirty”
The idea behind Sheboygan NonCon is pretty simple – drinking great craft beers and playing great games! This February, we’re bringing as many of our local friends together to drink beer, roll dice, and to kill dragons. This is going to be a three-day event, with several tables designated for open gaming, and a loose schedule of pre-planned games. Of course, since this is our first year, we’re playing it pretty loose. We haven’t scheduled any games, nor have we asked GMs to run specific tables. Instead, we’re coming together and just playing some games.
While it’s true some GMs are planning ahead for the event (because that’s what awesome GMs do), we’re not posting a schedule of events until we know how many people will be in attendance, how many GMs we’re going to need, and what games they’re going to be running.
As for time slots, we’ll be using the space provided by 8th Street Ale Haus from 11 AM to 1:30 AM each day, with the event officially kicking off at 5 PM on Friday and ending at 5 PM on Sunday. During those hours, we’re going to be running games in 5-6 hour slots. We’re going to have roughly eight tables available for play, not including the Card Bar! Our time slots for games are as follows:
Friday
5 PM – Gamers Meet & Greet; arrive, grab a beer, meet new people, and talk games!
6 PM – The Opening barrage! Our Friday night sessions begin, running until bar close at 2 AM (GMs will be asked to wrap games at 1:30 AM).
Saturday
11 AM – The Hangover Brunch; arrive, nurse a Bloody Mary, and discuss the day’s upcoming events. Meet other adventurers!
12 PM – Saturday slot 1 begin! Game until 6 PM!
7 PM – Saturday slot 2 begins! Game until 1:30 AM*
Sunday
12 PM – You’re still alive? Good, we’re going to be pulling one more session! Game from noon until 6 PM! Start wrapping up tables, grabbing growlers of some of Wisconsin’s finest, and heading home. Open gaming will remain open until bar close Sunday night, but we’re going to ask GMs to wrap things up earlier than later.
The Tentative Game Schedule
Friday – Going Old School! 1st and 2nd edition dungeon grinds, as well as some Pathfinder and a table or two of Numenera!
Saturday – Pathfinder Society, old school Gamma World, assorted board games, Dungeons & Dragons (2nd edition), Dungeons & Dragons (5th edition), Numenera, and a Pathfinder Special Event!
Sunday – Pathfinder (Rhune), assorted board games, Star Fleet Battles, and whatever else people feel motivated to try or play.
*If there is enough participation and interest, we may run a multi-party Pathfinder event on Saturday night.
