If individual participants die or need to leave, spectators have the option to jump in. If the whole group dies, start from the beginning.

The world is vast and brimming with dangers. Only rumors and bleak death loom beyond the crop fields and gates of the burrow city. It is the Dusk lands, where Lil-beasts roam at the edge of ancient forests, and foreboding Raka-wings break the skyline and darken the mud. At the horizon, beyond the rivers and mountain tops, the Gray Giants and their glyph-covered monoliths stand as stark contrast to the waning light.
You are Hessi - the Burrow people. They who lived when the world fell. You survived thanks to Hessi-Rah – the Great leader – the ancestral beacon that brought you all to safety below the fires. They made the first Burrow city – the home of the people. Be it segregation, nepotism, or hierarchical oppression from the mighty elite in the governing body, the Strata, you still live a fair life in the outskirts of the city. You build your own community, through worn knuckles and hard-earned sweat.
However, the Dusk lands impose. Beasts close in, and many of you mare-dream of pending doom. Ramblers scry, in drunken rituals, of the maiming death — of a home no more. The decay of the burrow city, and the eternal dark that ensues when life’s frail embers have died out. Unless you, those who can foresee the disaster, gather. Gather and leave all you know behind, venturing out on a trail through the apocalypse, in search of a new burrow. A home beyond the dusk.
Welcome to partake in the survival of a people. The roleplaying game “Scape – the way home” is a journey for 3-5 players. The rules engine promotes narrative “Roll-n-tell” mechanics – from skill, gear och assistance you create a dice pool; then roll and push your outcome; resulting in a tale told together of what came to be. You lead your group of survivors through an apocalyptic fantasy world, in search for your new home. A home not everyone will live to see…
Scape is created by the RPG-writer of Mercy of the Icons (Coriolis), and the trilogy Out of Time (Tales from the Loop), and co-designer or editor of the RPGs Vaesen, Things from the Flood, Aliens, and the Tales from the Loop Boardgame.
Groups providing their own Game master will be guaranteed play, and also receive a WIP copy of the game Scape, along with a dice set to play more beyond Gothcon.

We are the main organizers of tournaments for Star Wars Legion in Gothenburg. In 2024, we held the tournaments Ge DAJ! no.5 in the spring and no.6 in the fall. This was the largest tournament organized for Legion in Sweden in 2024. Now we want to showcase Legion at GothCon and hopefully inspire more people to play. Welcome to play demo matches with us to learn the game. No prior knowledge is required, we will explain all the rules! There will be figures to borrow so you don't need to bring your own army, although bringing your own army is of course also fine! It is possible to either play a full-fledged Legion match (takes 2-3 hours) or a smaller version called Skirmish and takes about 1.5 hours. Anyone who just wants to roll a few dice can get a mini-demo to understand what the game is about. We are two people exhibiting and we can have two guests with us at a time. Welcome!

The board and role-playing game publisher Vildhallon will participate with the sale of the publisher's books and games in Gothcon's store section.
In addition to this, Vildhallon also has a game room where you can try out the publisher's published games, meet its creators and have a good time in general.
A detailed program is presented via Vildhallon's page on Facebook.
See you at GothCon!

Rost & Röta är hypernarrativt, postapokalyptiskt figurspel i ett postpokalytiskt Skåne.
-----------------o-----------------
I år lanseras de första rost och röta figurerna och det firar vi med att ha workshops där man kan måla ett eget gäng och spela med. Dessutom blir det terrängbygge. Inga förkunskaper krävs och ingen materiel heller. Figurer kommer säljas på plats och färg och annat material bjuder jag på.

Hextraction är ett brädspel för alla åldrar där man turas om att rulla kulor genom en växande labyrint av sex-sidiga brickor. Spelet är skapat för att skrivas ut på 3D-skrivare, vilket ger oändliga möjligheter till variation! Kom och spela, ta med familjen, ta med egna brickor om du har!
Mer information om spelet finns här: https://www.playhextraction.com/

En hemlighetsfull trollkarl bjuder in allmänheten att beskåda ett parti Stenar och Bräde mot sin ärkerival magistraten. I alla år har magistraten nesligen förlorat, men i år har han en plan. En grupp äventyrare får i uppdrag att lista ut trollkarlens hemlighet en gång för alla – och de har bara två timmar på sig.
Testa Magistratens drag — äventyret från Spelkongressen, eller spela igen för att testa nya lösningar och upptäcka fler hemligheter.
Du som inte är föranmäld till Magistratens drag kan också få spela med våra spelledare, i mån av plats.
