Covert Operations

Spy vs. Spy; Bond, James Bond; Ezio Auditore; Agent 47: The spies, secret agents, and assassins we loved, and may have loved us. For millenia, we have been fascinated with secrets, espionage, conspiracies, cabals, and the people who use the shadows to protect them or enact them. For MEPACON 47, we explore that fascination.

GM Information

We are always looking for GMs to run games at our convention. GMs who run 12 or more hours of games are eligible for a free badge and a T-shirt.

On Saturday, from 6 p.m to 8 p.m., we have our Big Event, where we announce contest winners (e.g., coloring contest, cosplay contest), tricky tray winners, and the dice guess winner, then hold an auction. We will not schedule games during that time.

Those wishing to judge for organized campaigns (Pathfinder Society, Starfinder Society, D&D Adventurers League, Shadowrun, etc.) and miniatures games (Star Wars, Star Trek, BattleTech, etc.), email our Director of Gaming, Erik Zane at gaming@mepacon.com.


Registration Dates

Game submission is open now until midnight Wednesday, October 16, 2024. Player registration is open now until Midnight Wednesday, October 23, 2024. We'll use the time between closing online reg to formalize badge and event sheet printing. Full weekend badges can be bought at the door for $75.
