About The Event

Poster for Winter 2021

In 2020 and 2021, we temporarily moved our convention online to protect players during the pandemic. When it's safe, we'll operate as a hybrid convention, simultaneously running offline and online sessions for people both in person and remotely, locally and internationally.
Your mode of participation should be based around your own comfort levels in conjuction with governmental restrictions.
 Since 2015, we've been hosting events where people can meet to share, explore & enjoy social games of all kinds on tabletops and screens. Originally one day twice a year, we're now a whole weekend each Winter. All are welcome within our code of conduct for a safe and fun experience, whether you're already in the gaming world, or just curious about what people play these days. We have plenty of tables available, and each day is full of opportunities! If you're curious about our name, or how it began, click here.

Our History

began as a double-birthday party for the founders, so it seemed appropriate to name it after a two-headed giant! The July 2015 event was only six hours long, free entry (donations welcome) in a Katoomba church hall. Our next event saw twice as many of us in a venue twice as large, playing for twice as long, and it just keeps getting bigger and better! Our 2020 event was our ninth (held on our fifth birthday!), with no sign of stopping. We've hosted over 100hrs of events, including 100+ scheduled RPG sessions (over 300hrs of play).
