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!
Come see us in the game room at Heartland Pride! We’re here tonight and tomorrow at D7 upstairs.
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.

This weekend, March 4, 5, and 6.
Sioux City, IA
Wall-to-wall Too Many Bones (demos first, then adventures on Saturday and Sunday).
Come and join us!
While it may be too soon to party hearty in your favorite pub, we’ve got you covered. RPGs and board games for the main dish, with rooms for swapping gossip as a side dish. You can offer up your own event here, and though the event is FREE you will need to register for entry.
Don’t miss it! Twelve full hours of games, 10 am to 10 pm on March 20 via Nuke-Con’s Discord channel. We hope to see you there!
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.
Good evening, Fellow Gamers.
I have to announce today that Nuke-Con has decided not to hold a face-to-face convention in October 2020.
We also decided that we can’t let our 30th Annual Convention disappear with just a whimper, so we’re shifting gears to an online convention. It’ll be the same weekend you’ve been planning for: October 2, 3, and 4, 2020. We’re still working out details, but in the meantime we invite all GMs to talk with us about how to shift your game to one of the many available online platforms.
You can reach Erik Luken, Game Registration, at gmreg@nuke-con.com.
You can reach Josh Stortz for membership questions at reg@nuke-con.com.
You can reach Speedy Coveny to talk about pre-paid booths at vendors@nuke-con.com.
You can reach me for general questions and comments at main@nuke-con.com.
You can also send a message to us via our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nukecon/.
We’ll post updates as we finalize details.
Like you, we’ve been hoping for the best but planning for the worst. The staff talked about better spacing around tables, limiting the number of people at a given table, masks, and disinfectant. We discussed the financial impact to the organization, how much we’ll miss seeing our friends, and what the Nuke-Con community might think of us whichever decision we made. In the end, we decided that we can’t, in good conscience, open an arena for possible – maybe even likely – transmission of disease.
Thank you all for understanding.
