    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.

  • Free Game Day at Holy Cross Lutheran Church!

    Free Game Day at Holy Cross Lutheran Church!

    Staffer Steve here;

    Some of you may have attended Nuke-Con’s “Dead Games Day” event at Holy Cross Lutheran Church last weekend. Well, why not come back to Holy Cross for more gaming fun this Saturday?

    And as for those of you who missed out on last week’s game day (like myself), well then this is your 2nd chance to get in on some gaming fun!

    On Saturday, November 9th, starting at 1:00pm, Holy Cross Lutheran Church is hosting their own game day event! I’ll be there, and you’re all invited as well!

    And the best part, its a free event!

    “Join the Holy Cross family for a day of board game fun! Bring your favorite board games and some snacks & drinks & goodies to share for a fun afternoon.”

    The gaming fun starts at 1:00, and runs at a casual place that usually ends around dinner time.

    I’ll see you there!

  • The Con is over, but the Aftershocks are coming!

    The Con is over, but the Aftershocks are coming!

    Nuke Con 2024 may be dead and buried, but the games are rising to be played again!

    Every gamer has at least one of those games they used to love to play and most likely still love to play, but they’ve been sitting, dusty and neglected, for far too long.

    Most people also have at least one “extinct game”. What we mean by this is that everyone has at least one game that’s no longer in print, but is still just as much fun to play today as it was the day it rolled out of the factory.

    And in some cases, people have at least one dead game that’s been sitting on their shelves lonely and forgotten.

    Well guess what? Its time to dust off and resurrect those long-neglected dead games, because the “Dead Games” event is coming!

    Aftershock: Dead Games!

    • Who: All you gamers, of course! Alive preferred (whereas the games can be alive or dead).
    • What: Resurrecting all those venerable but dusty and neglected games you’d like to play again, and/or show others why you love that game so much!
    • When: November 2nd, 2024.
    • Where: Holy Cross Lutheran Church [Click here for the address]
    • Why: Reuse, repurpose, recycle . . . and have a good time in the process.
    • How much: No charge! Bring some cash, though, for the Sale of the Dead Games!

    Another way to bring those dead games back to life is to offer them DOA to the…

    Sale of the Dead Games!

    This is a fundraiser for the annual Nuke-Con convention. So empty out your coff – er, closet and help out your favorite convention at the same time.

    Remember: The Dead Games will live again on November 2, 2024. Bring your living friends (and their dead games) along as well!
