  • Cosplays Welcome!

    Cosplays Welcome!

    Whispers from behind the DM screens have told us that we may have neglected cosplay in our con space. Didn’t mean to make y’all feel unwelcome. Of course cosplays are acceptable!

    The Nuke-Con community welcomes everyone to express themselves in any garb they see fit. We are a family friendly event, so we must request all cosplays be PG-13, but we would love for you to come as you are and have as much fun as you can with us!
