You don't know what JohnCon is? Well, let me explain. JohnCon is an annual gaming convention held on the Johns Hopkins University campus in the Greatest City In America, Baltimore, Maryland. Hosted by the University's science-fiction / fantasy and anime clubs, JohnCon runs 50 hours straight, beginning at 4pm on Friday and ending at 6pm on Sunday.

We offer a huge dealers' room, plenty of games (everything from board games to LARPs), a B-movie theater, 50 non-stop hours of yummy anime goodness, and best of all, GIANT PIXY STIX. Wander the website for more information, and keep checking back - new con info appears all the time.

Come to JohnCon.
Resistance is futile.

JohnCon will have returned!

Breaking News

JohnCon delayed, Rain of Blood Continues Unabated

I'm deeply saddened to inform you all that JohnCon 2008 will not be occurring this weekend.

Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts arose with the university - we had reserved the portions of the campus we use for JohnCon in the fall, and the university neglected to inform us that these portions would be unavailable due to construction in the spring.

We've spent the past two weeks attempting to work around this - the facilities we require are not available at any other time during this spring, and we have not found any additional facilities to replace them at this time.

We fully intend to run JohnCon this year, however - we're currently in discussion with the appropriate people in the university to host JohnCon in the early fall of this year.

You have my sincerest apologies about this late notification, but once we discovered this, we didn't want to disappoint anyone until it became clear that it was impossible to work around.

Anyone who has mailed registration to us for this year, we will refund the registration (if it was a check and we cashed it, or if it is cash), or keep it for the event in the fall, at your discretion.

Thank you, and I hope to see you in the fall.
