Some people just want to share their joy in our nerdy hobbies. Spend some time with our exhibitors:
There’s more information on the Exhibitor’s Page, and (of course) during Nuke-Con’s weekend.
There’s roll-playing (you know, where the dice run the story) and then there’s role-playing. The ultimate in role-playing is the Live Action kind. The kind you’ll find with Omaha Underworld: Wild West.
Omaha Underworld is a local troupe looking to share this amazing hobby. No boffer swords here, this is a theatre LARP. No experience or dice necessary. Setting is The Old West, Omaha is a Boomtown and the supernatural werewolves and vampires of Omaha are meeting to parley. Costumes highly encouraged. There will be instruction provided and you can email the storyteller at spanishtoreador@gmail.com.
ZV Prints and Crafts is a local 3D printing and laser company that also offers 3D modeling services. We specialize in personal touches like custom engraved tumblers, 3D resin and filament printing as well as handmade resin dice.
I’m Joseph, a game designer located in Kansas city. Gaming at Joe’s is my business is making board games, card games, and others, and my most popular games are Savage Fighters, Magic Penguins and Cereal Killers. I also sell collectable items such as fantasy mugs and goblets, pins, music boxes and more (all of which I collect myself). 2024 Is my first year going full time being a traveling vendor for events. I’m excited that Nuke-Con is part of my journey.
Nuke-Con is partnering with AfroCon in this RPG event that is friendly to new players and to veterans.
The Future Is Now! has frivolity & humor with a low barrier to entry & a quick pace — it’s a comedy heist with time travel elements. Build your character as you play – – – AND THEN you can play the same character again next week at AfroCon!
Both chapters will happen Saturdays at 10 am; October 5 at Nuke-Con and October 12 at AfroCon.

Staffer Steve checking in…
I was just looking over this year’s Nuke-Con game schedule, and I’m happy to say that there’s more than 250 scheduled games! Board Games, Role-Playing Games, Card Games, Miniatures, Party Games, and more!
More importantly, most of them still have seats available to reserve, and on behalf of all the Nuke-Con staff, I encourage you to poke around the schedule for yourself and sign up for some games!
You can search for the kind of games you enjoy by using the various scroll down categories, or by simply going down the list of events and clicking on the ones that sound interesting.
So, what are ya waiting for? Simply log into your account, visit the schedule (click the link below), and choose the events you want to play and reserve your seat at one or more of the many game events! Even if all the seats to a particular game event are taken, you can always get on the waiting list in case a player has to drop out.
Side note: If you’re not finding a particular game that’s to your liking, then why not host or run some game events yourself? There’s still time to submit your game events into the schedule.
Come and join in with a variety of local adventure writers and designers as they offer up their various gems of wisdom. As the Panelists are there for you, questions and answers and audience participation will be highly encouraged during this panel talk.
