Chupacabracon is the premiere tabletop RPG and board game convention in central Texas

The convention is run by nonprofit foundation Austin Creative Pathways benefiting Extra Life whose mission is to unite thousands of gamers around the world to play games in support of their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital.

ChupacabraCon is a small event, pulling visitors from around the country. We are known for having an unusually high number of professional guests for an event at our size. We routinely host 25 to 30 industry guests including designers and authors of many of the top RPGs. Being a small event of less than 1000 attendees, this is a unique opportunity to meet your favorite designers, many of whom run their games at ChupacabraCon.

We also host many special events at the convention. D&D Adventure's League and Pathfinder Society regularly host unique, special events at our little convention. We have also hosted Savage Saturday Night every year from our inception. This is an evening of games run by the authors of Deadlands, East Texas University, Savage Rifts, and many other Savage Worlds settings. We typically host an interactive celebrity game, where audience members can pledge to the charity for the opportunity to shape the story, make the rolls for the celebrity players, and otherwise make their session more interesting.

The convention is the primary fund raising event for Austin Creative Pathways, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization. Our goal is to foster youth into creative careers through gaming. "The mission of Austin Creative Pathways is to inspire and prepare underserved youth ages 18-24 for careers in the tabletop gaming industry through technology, writing and visual arts education."

MillenniumCon

Texas' Biggest Historical Miniatures Wargame Convention
October 31-November 3, 2024
Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center
3303 N 3rd St
Temple, TX 76501
Central TX area
NOTE:
This facility will keep us in central Texas - much more centrally located to all major metropolitan areas (DFW, San Antonio, Houston, Austin and all other Texas locations). The facility doubles the square footage allowing us to grow - as you all know we were outgrowing the Wingate. Close to I-35, many hotels and restaurants - the LSHM Board of Directors sees this as a WIN-WIN for Texas' biggest war-gaming convention.

MillenniumCon is presented by Lone Star Historical Miniatures, a non-profit organization. LSHM promotes the miniature wargaming hobby throughout the great state of Texas. The annual Millennium Game Convention is our signature event.

MillenniumCon is a three day convention that supports Tabletop Wargaming with Historical Miniatures.

We provide a unique event to celebrate our passion for playing wargames, crafting the miniatures and terrain used in these games, and researching the historical events that inspire our imagination. While we do focus on games involving historical time periods, our convention caters to many different gaming tastes and styles.

Unlike other conventions that support multiple genres, we don't have one group trying to be all things to all people. There are also a limited number of RPG games but the emphasis is on miniatures games.

    RealmsCon

    Anime, Gaming, & Multimedia Convention
    CANCELLED. NEXT CON SOMETIME IN 2022. [Originally October 8-10, 2021]

    Hello friends. Today (March 13) I make the difficult announcement that Realms Con is on temporary pause.

    Staff and volunteers have become family; attendees we've gotten to know; unforgettable connections with vendors, artists, guests, and industry partners and peers; all of it has been the experience of a lifetime.

    I am thankful for the years we've put in doing what I love and am passionate about. It's been a hard road to recovery and we are just not where we need to be to be able to move forward at the moment. We will be taking some time to regroup, reassess, and restructure. We've issued refunds, but if we missed you, first, I apologize, second, please email realmscongeneral@gmail.com.

    While we're on temporary hiatus, we'll be working on bringing us all back together again. So this is not goodbye. This is stay tuned...
