Get ready for the Apocalypse at TempleCon, New England’s revolutionary Retro-Futurist Gaming Convention! TempleCon 2012 is gearing up for a weekend of adventure in a landscape of anachronistic doom, featuring a plethora of games, performances, stories, music, vendors, and diversions that explore a variety of Retro-Futurist genres such as Steampunk, Neo-Victorianism, Weird West, Dieselpunk, Decopunk, Raygun Gothic, and Cyberpunk - all past visions of the future that are being re-examined in modern times and re-envisioned in modern terms – with this year’s special focus being the impending Apocalypse in all its Retro-Futurist atomic glory. TempleCon 2012 also features the finest in modern gaming, bringing countless RPGs, CCGs, Miniatures Wargames, Board Games, LARPs, and more into an uncommonly high-class venue for the ultimate convention experience. Expect industry guests, live performances, panels, classes, vendors, demos, parties, and all sorts of other debauchery, and you'll know why people everywhere are saying that TempleCon is taking the classic geek culture stereotype and knocking it on its ear.
