This year, Convergence will be on the 7th and 8th of September - mark out your calendars!

What is a TTRPG?

Table top role-playing games are mostly played with friends, and usually require pen, paper and dice to play. You have probably heard of Dungeons & Dragons, but thousands of different systems exist. From simple romps to complex campaigns games can cover topics such as drag racing racoons, eldritch horrors, sci fi, fantasy, dystopias, TV shows, and even Carly Rae Jepson. They all need the players to use their imagination to drive the story and make the game come alive.

What is Convergence?

Convergence is a 2 day games convention, organised by The Waikato Role-Playing Guild. The aim is to give new and experienced players a chance to meet like minded people, make new friends, try new games and have a blast doing so. At Convergence there will be games running, seminars, socialising, and vendors providing a range of gaming related equipment.
The games will run in 3 and 4 hour slots, depending on the game itself. All the games will be run as “one-shots” meaning it will be a self-contained adventure within the time slot. There will be games for newbies and experienced players alike. Pre-generated characters will be provided where needed. We'll make sure you have everything you need to hit the ground running and have a fantastic weekend.

Attendees must be 13 or older - those aged 13 to 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
