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)
We've come a long way since monopoly. Bring your favourite board game along to share, or even try something different from our library of public games.< /p>
More than just Dungeons and Dragons! Register a table to run a game , or just a seat or two to play at one of our RPG sessions.
Magic? Uno? Card Wars? Bring your deck, shuffle into your seat, and deal us in!
We haven't forgotten you screen-heads. Enjoy our consoles together or bring your portable device with some multiplayer games!
The next Ettin Con is never far away!

There are many tales about the semi-mythical figure known as Jericho Julip, a criminal chased out of various northern cities during the ancient age, the journey he took across the treacherous 'Black-Ice Pass', and the mysterious artefact of unknown origin that he brought back to the lowlands, changing the destiny of the western kingdoms. No-one believes a word of them. Here's the true story.
Waiting ListIf there’s one thing your mother always told you, it was: “never anger a witch”. But did you listen? You just had to find a reason to get up in a hag’s business, didn’t you? You never liked to argue with your mother about this stuff - not to her face. You always tried to be the bigger person. How’s that working out for you?

The Lich has stolen the town's maidens, you and your honourable party have set out to return them to their families. You and your compatriots will tell me what sort of fantasy game we'll be playing. It's a one-shot after all, we might as well let you decide what sort of fun we have.
Register Your Seat!With just a few minutes and a few cards we'll create a group of fantasy characters in one crazy, mixed-up predicament, where everybody and nobody is to blame for getting them there. Using a deck of cards, we will create a group of characters set in a shared fantasy world which we will define as we play. The characters you make are available for transfer between Worldbuilder sessions at Ettin Con - this a living world we are creating!
Waiting ListTavern patrons seldom agree on details when recounting the tale of 'The Day the Halflings were Attacked'. Will you help us get the story straight, by speaking up as the witnesses themselves? Play out a fast and loose recount of the biggest day your small settlement saw. This game is aimed at younger players, aged 9-14, and is part of the Ettin Con Worldbuilder project.
