Come and join us!
Whoosh! Nuke-Con 2021, The Return of the Weekend of Games, is a wrap!
We had a great convention. We heard over and over how good it was to see our people again, and it was also exciting to see so many new folks (and so many child-folks!).
Many, many thanks to our sponsors (Tabletop Adventures, Our Family Plays Games, VZ3D, and Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty), our merchants, our play organizers, our game masters, and our gamers. You make the convention stimulating and fun! Thanks also to the Mid-America Center for a lovely venue and to its staff for keeping us safe, fed and hydrated. My own special thanks to the Nuke-Con staff and volunteers for the (literally) hundreds of hours they work to achieve a smooth event. It takes all of us to make the Weekend.
Through the generosity of donors and buyers, our gamer garage sale, charity raffle, and dollar donations made an enormous collection for Extra Life / Children’s Hospital Foundation. You folks are fantastic!
Watch this space for news about next year’s Nuke-Con on September 23, 24, and 25, 2022! Until then!

Nuke-Con
As the founders of Our Family Plays Games, Starla and Mik Fitch have a mission – to introduce more families in general and families of color in particular to our gaming hobby. They use their ever-widening YouTube audience as the vehicle.
Nuke-Con is delighted to welcome OPFG as an exhibitor and as a convention sponsor. You’ll see them both adding class to our our Weekend of Games, playing, answering questions, and on Saturday at 2 pm taping their YouTube show live in front of a studio audience! Stop by and let them introduce you to a new game!
Help for the Harried Gamemaster!
We are pleased to welcome back Tabletop Adventures for their 14th year (at least) at the Weekend of Games. This year they join us as both vendor and sponsor!
Tabletop’s staff are all long-time gamers, and they make products they’ve always wished for – especially aids and resources for the people who run your RPGs.
Explore the Tabletop Adventures website at http://www.tabletopadventures.com/news/. Then stop by their booth and see what goodies they have brought you when you attend Nuke-con 2021!
The GodMom here. We just got through the initial proofreading of events, and there are some wonderful games! I saw D&D Adventurers League, Pathfinder, Starfinder, ShadowRun, lots of other RPG one-shots, and board games I had never heard of — along with Battletech and other wargames. Something for just about everybody!
Dateline: August 30, 2021
The Delta variant of Covid-19 is still pushing infections. Nuke-Con has decided that for the health and safety of gamers, merchants, and staff, we will require all participants to wear an appropriate mask at the convention regardless of vaccination status. You can see Nuke-Con’s full rules here.
We also remind you that if you don’t feel well on Nuke-Con weekend, please stay home. That’s essential to prevent the spread of covid-19, but applies to flu, colds, and general con crud, too. We can arrange to roll your membership over to the next year, and you can still join us via Virtual Nuke-Con and Discord.
Thanks for understanding and for helping us protect our gaming community.
Don’t forget the date: September 24, 25, and 26 at the Mid-America Center, Council Bluffs IA. Registration is open here and you can schedule your game here. We’ll have Virtual Nuke-Con going in the Discord channel, too. Consider the possibilities as you plan your weekend.
24 days until The Weekend of Games!
