I can't believe we are already going to see the third DaveCon and it is coming up in less than a week! For those who felt the first DaveCon was more about D&D in general and less about Dave Arneson and the original Twin City Gaming legacy, dismiss those concerns right away. With its third instalment, DaveCon is living up to its name like never before with a foundation is that is stronger than ever. This is the year of the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, the game co-created by Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax and coming up next weekend (April 26-28, 2024) in, Bloomington, MN, USA, DaveCon 3 organizer Victor Dorso promises Three-days of Gaming, Vendors and Art, plus The Auction.
The special guests lineup looks incredible. First of all, there are guests who were there at the beginning with Dave Arneson:
- Dave Wesely
- Mike Carr
- Dave Megarry
- Ken Fletcher
- Ross Maker
- William Hoyt
But also, a list of people who will be known to many of you:
- Dan "Professor Dungeon Master" Defazio
- Andy Thomas & Dave Yaeger
- Baron Deroop
- David Johnson
- Justin Alexander
- Kevin McColl of Castle Blackmoor
D&D 50 is definitely going to be a year of celebration for Dave Arneson fans. We already had amazing Blackmoor and Arneson Alumni presence at GaryCon and more events are coming later this year!
Are you going to DaveCon this year? I would love to hear about your plans and your experiences!
