What is Necronomicon ?
Necronomicon is a roleplaying convention that promotes diversity and creativity within the roleplaying community, and tries to offer innovative games for player consumption.
Necronomicon is run by a non-profit organisation called Shadow Games Incorporated.
Where will it be held ?
Necro99 will be held at the Newtown High School of Performing Arts, just down from Newtown station on King Street (Sydney, Australia). Parking is available on the street, as well as in the schools underground car park, which is accessible from the rear of the school.
How is Necro organised ?
The convention focuses on running multiple short events so that players can sample a large number of different game experiences. The event is scheduled into 'sessions' - most games only take 1 session to play, but some may take more. It is not compulsory to attend every session of the convention, you may choose which days and which sessions you are available. Necro99 will have 11 sessions of 3 hours each. See the back page for session times.
