    Come sit in on a cozy listen from The Hermits podcast talking with CrazyhermitDM listen to a chat with Oakleysnerdnook.They used Nuke-Con for their atmosphere so you can feel like you’re right there with them. The group talks about many things, where they get their wood, how Oakley started, how they go to different conventions over the mid-west and truly so much more. It’s like sitting next to a group of friends enjoying each others company.

  • Dead Games Day!

    Dead Games Day!

    Free Aftershock: Dead Games Day

    On November 2 Nuke-Con is holding a game day and fundraiser featuring those games that just don’t see much table time in your house.

    You can:

    ·        Schedule a game you want to play, so people will know it’ll be there. The schedule is open now.

    ·        Play a game someone else brings, so the game will be happy to know people still love it.

    ·        Donate a game to the Garage Sale so it can find a new home and Nuke-Con can earn a little money to keep the convention great!

    The Aftershock will run from 10 am to 10 pm at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. No charge to come and play! Food and drink will be available.

    See you there!
