DaveCon 2025 is the third DaveCon organized by Victor Dorso. It took place on April 25-27 this year, as by the original announcement. The convention is no longer exclusively dedicated to Dave Arneson, but rather "all the Daves that helped make D&D great" according to the organisers. However the guests of honor did include several of Dave Arneson's players including David Wesely, David Megarry, David Wesely, Mike Carr, William J Hoyt and Ross Maker as well as Ken Fletcher and Kevin McColl who worked for Dave Arneson at various points. So I think the convention should still be of interest to the readers of this blog.
Other guests of honor included Griff Morgan, Baron DeRopp, Justin Alexander, Bob Worldbuilder, Grace WorldDestroyer, Greg Gillespie, David Johnson and Mark Rein-Haugen.
During the first DaveCon there was some disagreement between Victor Dorso and the organisers of ArneCon. However, these differences seem to have been set aside and Griff Morgan of ArneCon did attend this year's convention.
Next year's DaveCon has already been announced for April 24-26, 2026, Bloomington, MN, USA.
Another great DaveCon. This was my second, and this year I ran 4 Traveller games, spent a lot of time talking to Dave Wesley, and got to play in DJ's Curse of "Macho Man" Strahd and the D&D tournament, and I opted for 5e this year.
