The games for good stream is in full swing, I’ll be on tomorrow at noon. Apparently, your donations allow the GM to screw with the players. Good thing there are no chaos goblins in any of the Dukes games. I’d hate for viewers to mess with the perfectly orchestrated Paranoia game

Game Con Junction Returns to Louisville November 6–8, 2026

Louisville, KY — Game Con Junction (GCJ) is pleased to announce that Game Con Junction 2026 will take place November 6–8, 2026, at the Louisville Marriott East in Louisville, Kentucky.

Now in its second year, Game Con Junction is a regional tabletop gaming convention celebrating roleplaying games, board games, card games, and the communities that form around them. GCJ brings together players, game masters, designers, vendors, and publishers for a full weekend of games, learning, and connection.

Game Con Junction is jointly organized by Nerd Louisville and The Dukes of Highland, two Louisville-based groups dedicated to building and supporting the local tabletop and geek community. Nerd Louisville focuses on community-building through gaming events, youth outreach, and inclusive social spaces, while The Dukes of Highland are known for organizing large-scale tabletop experiences throughout the region.

Following the success of Game Con Junction 2025, the 2026 event will expand its programming with a wide range of tabletop RPG sessions, scheduled play, open gaming, vendors, and special events. Game Con Junction is also a participant in the Tri-State Trail, allowing attendees to earn points toward year-long prizes by attending and playing games at partner conventions across the region.

Additional details, including badge sales, event registration, featured games, and vendor announcements, will be released in the coming months.

Hey all. We’re hitting the slower timer of the year where we take some time away from the Megagame “table” to prepare and dream for the next year. This is just a quick note to wish you all happy holidays and to assure you that 2026 will be filled with Megagames, board games and role playing games and we’ll be at the heart of the gaming community in Louisville all year long.
Until 2026! See you all next year!

Drumming up some excitement for Game Con Junction at the Gaslight balloon glow. We probably gave out 300 dice and another 100 balloons. What can I say, people love rolling dice!
