NTRPGCon - 2026

Welcome to the North Texas RPG Convention! The NTRPG Con focuses on old-school Dungeons & Dragons gaming (OD&D, 1E, 2E, or Basic/Expert) as well as any pre-1999 type of RPG produced by the classic gaming companies of the 70s and 80s (TSR, Chaosium, FGU, FASA, GDW, etc). We also support retro-clone or simulacrum type gaming that copies the old style of RPGs (Swords & Wizardry, Castles & Crusades, and others). ANY RPG games are welcome at the Con, be it D&D 4e, Pathfinder, or something we haven't even heard of, just be sure you can fill a table with 5-6 people before you ask to have it added to the schedule...

Our 18th annual convention dates are: Wednesday June 3, 2026 @ 1800 until Sunday June 7, 2026 @ 1700

The Con cost is $110.00 to attend for entire Con. Daily rates are $55 except Sunday, which is $40.00 Kids 12 and under can get free badges. Please reach out to Gary for details.

During Registration period, you can buy Con T-Shirts, and purchase "squeaky cage" tickets in preset quantities. (you can also purchase Vendor Tables, Convention Rooms, Sponsorships, and Advertising)

Many things including merchandise are not available after Feb 28, 2026

Many attendees have asked how they can support the convention. The best way to help the convention is to pay for a full weekend ticket at regular price.

Please look around, read up and register if you plan to attend. You must pay for one day or a weekend before you are able to register for a game.

If you want to sign up to run a game, please buy your badge, then select the "Host" drop down box and submit your game.
