Nuke-Con is partnering with The Game Shoppe Omaha to present Tremor! a Free Game Day!
Where: The Game Shoppe Omaha, 4014 N 144th St
When: December, 2nd, 2023 11 am to 9 pm
No cost to come in and play, but donations are most welcome.
We need GAMES! Get yours (board game, RPG, miniatures, whatever!) into the schedule via our website.
See you there!
Gaming at Joe’s (another new face at Nuke-Con) sells board games and other board game related items, such as dice, dice bags, and jewelry.
“All my work has its roots in realism and the challenge is to accurately depict the images in my mind. My work ties together realms of reality and fantasy, with forays into the elements of the world around me. The goal is to create fantasy worlds that other people can imagine themselves traveling to…”
As you can see above, Joe is also an indie game designer, so when you visit his booth be sure to ask him about what he’s working on right now.
“My passion is to tell stories, making games allows me to take my stories and bring them to life, though either video games or physical games such as board games and card games. I have found that games have two benefits for people, they both allow people to come together and create a bond, and they also allow people to escape to that world and take a break from their day-to-day life.”
Joe has got a great display of his creations over at http://gamingatjoes.com/.

Staffer Steve here,
I wanted to remind all you Nuke-Heads that our May Aftershock Game Day is but a few days away; Saturday, May 27th to be exact. Also as a reminder, you can read all about game details, times, location, and pricing details simply by clicking here.
And as the big day is almost upon upon us (you can feel the rumbling already), we’ll be closing out the game registrations at midnight on Thursday, May 25. So, if you haven’t yet and still want to, click this here link to register, schedule and list your game.
Remember, we’re also looking for donations (and buyers) for our Quick Sale Table of gently used games — click the link for details.
See you on Saturday!
If you’ve got a sweet tooth craving for some tasty RPG treats, then the Aftershock is the just the candy shop you’ve been looking for!
Our cadre of seven DMs will be presenting some D&D Adventurer’s League,
some D&D Learn to Play for the curious, the new Dungeon Crawl Classics
0-level funnel adventure and a ShadowDark RPG 0-level dungeon crawl!
You can see the full (ever-changing) schedule of games here.
Learn more — times and costs — here.
See you at the Aftershock!
Staffer Steve here, and I…
Wait… do you feel that?
I haven’t felt one of these in over two years!
THE AFTERSHOCKS HAVE RETURNED!
For those you new to the sensation of an Aftershock, allow me to explain…
Periodically, Nuke-Con arranges for one-day special game events, known as “Aftershocks”, which are held at locations around the Omaha area.
They have returned… and our first Aftershock in over two years is taking place at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church!
We will need GM’s! We will need game hosts! And we will need gamers… so many gamers!
We will have board games! and tabletop RPGs! and miniatures! Bring your friends! Everybody is welcome! We must all Escape Reality, one game at a time!
The Aftershock happens May 27th, 2023 at 10AM and goes to 10PM, for twelve hours worth of Escaping Reality.
Get your tickets at the door for $5 per person for the entire day (or take $1.00 off with a donation of two cans of food for the church’s food pantry)!
I’ll see you there!
UPDATE: I just received word that Nuke-Con artist extraordinaire Fredd Gorham will be hosting an Artist Jam at the Aftershock, so we’re calling all artists to the event!
You’ve got a game you’ve been dying to share and you’ve been looking for someone to share it with. A new RPG, board game, or maybe a little miniature war-game mayhem? Perhaps some classic AD&D? Look no further!
Pick your day and time, describe your game, tell us how many players you want at your table, and we’ll do the rest. Submit your game today!
Nuke-Con 2022 is September 23rd-25th.
The deadline for having a game in the program book is September 2nd at 6:00pm.
By running a game at Nuke-Con you agree to our convention rules and code of conduct as well as our Game Master rules.
We have a FAQ that has many common questions answered. If that doesn’t have what you’re looking for, we have several ways for you to get hold of us.
Facebook or Twitter
Discord
Email: GM Coordinator or Convention Coordinator
At our new location, the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, we’ve got room for all kinds of games from Apples to Apples all the way through Warhammer (and beyond, if you can think of any). Game registration is open now. All slots are currently available.
We
Need
You!
BONUS! We’ll have our Discord channel active over the weekend, too, so if you need a virtual tabletop, we’ve got you covered!
Don’t forget: September 24, 25, and 26, 2021. $30 for full weekend preregistration through September 1st 10pm.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Welcome to Nuke-COnline, our 30th annual convention! You probably know we’ve moved to a virtual event this year, and Discord is the third-party application that we’ll be using for our text, voice, and video interface.
For you to have access to the Nuke-Con Discord convention space, you need to buy your badge and then connect your Nuke-Con account to your Discord account. You can find the Connect button in your Nuke-Con profile page. That will give you access to the guests, vendors, and more! Grab your badge here.
The one thing you won’t have right away is access to the virtual tables. That will be unlocked for you for the events you have signed up for. Our mascot and friendly bot, Max Damage, will grant your access to the table shortly before the event starts. Remember! The currently running game might not quite be over. Please be respectful of the GM and the players until they have wrapped up.
We recommend downloading Discord for your computer or device before Nuke-Con weekend to get comfortable with it. Never used Discord before? They have a great help site that includes how to get started. They also have references for key combos for Windows and macOS.
We also recommend that you use a headset. It will help cut down on echo for everyone at your virtual table. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive, but you want it to be comfortable if you plan on wearing it for multiple gaming sessions. Discord is also testing out noise suppression via Krisp, which can also improve everyone’s experience during play. If you have the option, we recommend turning it on.
We know there will be questions. Please feel free to reach out to the staff via discord@nuke-con.com.
