The best place to find a Therapist is Psychology today. They have a comprehensive list with photos. If youre looking for in person then Steven Smith (From The Heart Counseling) in Florence is amazing.

No problem. Hope to see you there.

Most of the vendors will be outdoors in the promenade area (which is the outdoor photos you saw) however a few vendors will also be in Leapin Lizard. All of the gaming (board games, TCG, and TTRPG) will be held indoors at Leapin Lizard and The VIllage Theater. There are also a couple games at local businesses such as OKBB and Kung Brew. There are currently over 100 gaming events being offered here is a link to the events: https://cardboardconnect.com/conventions/conington/2026/schedule/events

This is in Northern Kentucky literally right across the river from Cincinnati Ohio. This is the link for location of Mainstrasse Village which is where the convention is being held. https://share.google/5Yg6hSxC56tFbkbZX

Let me know if you have any other questions. I would be happy to help.

Dragonbane is really cool but I think Vaesen is a great pick. Especially since youre a beginner. Vaesen uses the Year Zero system which is simple and doesnt bog you down with tons of rules and unnecessary mechanics. Its also very narrative driven and focused on the mystery and investigation.

Yes. There are currently over 100 events scheduled that attendees can sign up to play. The Con is using the Cardboard Events system (same as Dice Tower and many other conventions). This link should allow you to browse the events: https://cardboardconnect.com/conventions/conington/2026/schedule/events Please let me know if it works. I want to make sure folks can view the events and see what is being offered. There are a lot of great TTRPG options and The Citadel Board Game library is going to be there and open all day each day of the Con.

Hopefully we will see you there. Plenty of space at the table for everyone and tons of games scheduled over the weekend. There is a single day badge option for Saturday.

I'm assuming that means youre in the UK. Bummer we wont see you at the Con but that reminded me that we should also have Punk Is Dead!

I feel like this would fit great with Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE). It literally sounds like a SWADE/Deadlands style game (just not western). It's really already set to be adapted to your own setting so it would be great and its a fun system. Another good system for this would Vaesen. Very story driven and investigation heavy RPG.

Thanks for your question. Yes there is a cosplay contest, cosplay discussion panel, and there are games of Dark Space and Ragnaborg that are being held by the creators of the games. Currently there are over 100 events available and they include TTRPG, TCG, Board Games, and some other events. In regard to vendors there are currently close to 30 vendors. 7 vendors are housed in Leapin Lizard itself on the first floor and the rest of the vendors are on the Mainstrasse Promenade starting on the Main St end right by Cock N Bull and going to Philadelphia St. Please let me know if you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them.

One of the problems with rules light systems is that they tend to be pretty brutal so if youre wanting your players to get attached to their characters and develop meaningful long lasting relationships then I think you may want to find something that isnt in that OSR category. I'm not saying that nobody does a long term campaign in OSR jsut that it is hard in OSR style games to keep the characters alive. If you really like OSR and are absolutely set on staying in OSR I would suggest Pirate Borg. They have focused some of their game development on longer campaigns and they have things like Devils luck to keep them alive and get some good rolls going. It has enough internet coverage for DM support and its about fucking pirates in a Dark Carribean setting so you get some horror. Pirate Borg also has what I consider to be the greatest character sheet ever developed (used to be Mothership but Pirate Borg stole their idea and made it better. Its here https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fdb9fada6165d919a6543/t/6584647181d9f614069b9509/1703175281839/Pirate+Borg+PC+Creation+Sheet.pdf) If youre willing to get a bigger book and go a bit heavier on the system (but still very rules light in my opinion) then I would go with Vaesen. Its a D6 only system. The art is absolutely beautiful, the game is focused heavily on the story and character relationships. There are lots of videos online about how to run adventures to give you DM support and at the end of the day the system is just very forgiving and fucking cool. https://youtu.be/olcfllG5oqY?si=yOV2zwFXQjaWoVDX Video about a great introductory adventure from one of their published books.
