What is Play-to-Win? Play-and-win is a convention concept where people can check out a game, play it, and then enter their name in a lottery to win that specific game at the end of the convention. No pre-registration required.
A huge thank you to the 2024 play-to-win sponsors:

Special Convention Sponsored Events:
Kill-n-Take
Your GM will be controlling a boss monster/creature & doing their best to kill your character...repeatedly. Yes, you will respawn each time you die until the killing blow is finally landed on the boss. And whoever lands that blow takes home a miniature of the monster or creature.
Convention Exclusive One-Shot
We have developed and written a convention exclusive one-shot adventure that is set in a fantasy version of Cape Girardeau. You will be able to play this adventure during select special events at the convention, & you'll have the chance to purchase limited copies of the adventure during the convention.
Free-to-Play Library
The convention library will feature over 200 games! Carefully curated to include something for all ages and all gaming interests.
