In 2021, Campaign Gaming will be offering 5 signature campaign offerings, 4 of which have been extremely successful in years past, and 1 new offering. Returning campaigns include Catalyst Lab’s ShadowRun Missions (SRM/CMP), Paizo’s Pathfinder Society (PFS) and Starfinder Society (SFS), and WotC’s D&D Adventurers League (DDAL). The one new campaign offering this year is Torg Eternity’At present, we do not have a firm commitment on the specific events that will be offered, as release schedules for events have not been finalized by the various companies that offer Campaign style gaming.
We will be offering both in-person gaming and Virtual gaming content this year. DDAL, SRM, and DCM will all offer in-person gaming at the convention. DDAL will also offer virtual gaming content, while PFS/SFS will be exclusively virtual for this year’s show.
Virtual gaming content can be found at TableTopEvents: https://tabletop.events/conventions/dragon-con-rpg-2021, and will have a separate ‘badge’ and ‘event’ cost. Participants do not need a Dragon Con in-person membership to participate.
In-person gaming content can be found on our standard Gaming Registration site: http://gaming.dragoncon.org, and will of course require a Dragon Con in-person membership to participate. In addition, all in-person event schedule will be available via the Dragon Con 2021 app.
When current release schedules are available (ensuring the ability to provide the newest event scenarios, while being able to guarantee these scenarios will be received in a timely fashion for the show), we will update the Gaming Registration website and the TableTopEvents websites.
