About

1d4Con has been going strong since 2013.

The convention was an idea that James, of the 1d4cast Podcast, had when he realized how little the presence of gaming conventions were in the topmost Northern Virginia and West Virginia Panhandle parts of the Shenandoah Valley area during that time. Thankfully the amount of conventions in the area have exploded over the last decade and we are happy to still be among them.

This convention aims to offer a wide variety of gaming for our attendees: Tabletop RPGs, Card games and Board gamesMiniatures games, and sometimes LARPs and computer games like ARTEMIS Spaceship Bridge Simulator. We have also offer free tables to allow for pick-up games in addition to the events that make it to the schedule.  


During our chosen weekend (See our main information page for updates), we try to provide of all kinds of gaming fun and raise money for charitable causes such as Extra Life.

Our goal is to provide safe gaming entertainment for our guests, nothing less. Every year, we try to add something new.
