About Ettin Con

Ettin Con started in July 2015 in a cosy church hall in Katoomba as a place to meet new players, discover new games, and enjoy our hobbies by sharing them.
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 mascot is the Ettin, a two-headed giant, because our twice-yearly event began as a double-birthday party for the founders)

Love In the Time of Magic

The only thing that feels more magical than magic is, of course, romance. This game blends Jane Austen with the arcane arts to create a world where magic is mundane and marriage is still the most important question. The major characters may not all be in love, but they’re certainly chasing the most advantageous connection. And if they need a little magic to find it, well, that’s perfectly respectable. ...Learn More

But maybe it's a way out of this life of drudgery and corporate slavery? Surely it can't hurt to take a look...In space, no one can hear you scream. ...Learn More
