TempleCon 2010
TempleCon is a steampunk-themed gaming convention being held in Warwick, RI the weekend of February 5th-7th, 2010. Here’s how they describe themselves:
TempleCon 2010 is gearing up for a weekend that embodies just this spirit of temporal creation, featuring a plethora of games, stories, and diversions that explore Retro-Futurist genres such as Steampunk, Neo-Victorianism, Weird West, Dieselpunk, Decopunk, Raygun Gothic, and Cyberpunk – all past visions of the future that are being re-examined in modern times and re-envisioned in modern terms. These are anachronisms with attitude, independence and idealism versus monolithic conformity and control, girded with the true grit and superior fashion sense required to go adventuring in the wasteland of civilization’s decay. Mix in a healthy helping of elder gods, piracy, and revolutionary mayhem (this is Rhode Island, after all!), and you have a time-bending Retro-Futurist experience the likes of which no other convention dares to offer.
Concocted by two eccentric Retro-Futurist gamers and passed on for an army of amazingly talented people to run with, TempleCon is about what we want to experience at a Retro-Futurist gaming festival, tempered by what you have told us you want to experience: an immersive but flexible environment, spacious and well-appointed, exploring all the wonders of the past and future and the spaces where the two intersect.
