We hate to say it. But after consultation with lawyer & venue. BFGcon is officially cancelled. We cannot legally hold the event due to Gov Hogan’s announcement.
It makes me sick to my stomach how many women in the geek world, from video games to comics to tabletop, are now coming forward with stories of harassment and predation they've experienced from prominent men in the industry. My heart is with you.

Just an announcement that BFGcon is still scheduled to take place this weekend, with no plans to cancel. Everyone be safe and join us for a weekend getaway with friends before the COVID-19 situation gets worse.
Who all is going to be helping playtest some games this weekend at @BFGcon? Stop by the open gaming area and step into our playtesting corner! Your feedback can be used to shape the games that will be on the game shelf next year!
@AdamDork Adam, we are very sad to cancel it as well. But we are trying to mitigate risk and eliminate high-risk activities - the auction involves so many people touching everything. Congress of Gamers does a reverse auction every quarter in Rockville.
We have *TWO* #DnD Adventurers League epics at BFGcon this year! A hellish battle in DDEP09-01: Infernal Pursuits, and the #Eberron epic DDAL-EBEP-01: The Iron Titan w/ our special guest & #DDAL Eberron admin: @shawnmerwin
