Running GAGG Info

Running GAGG is a convention run for gamers by gamers. We work to make a weekend of fun enjoyable by the most experienced role-player to the mere interested novice. Here are a few of the events that we will be featuring at this year's virtual convention:

So what's a "Con" anyway?

By now you've probably heard the term "con" or "convention" tossed about pretty casually with regards to Running GAGG...but you may be unsure of what a gaming convention actually is.

RunningGAGG is a gaming convention. In normal times, we take over the entire College Union and play games. What do we mean by this? Well, you start by registering at the convention (or, preferably, pre-registering online). This allows you to reserve spots (in the case of pre-registering) or just get into the convention (in the case of registering on-site). After this, you begin attending what we call "events"...by which we mean games (or watching anime...if you're into that sort of thing). This can be anything from an role-playing game to a board-game to a collectible card game. Virtually in 2021, we will do it all online!

I Still Don't Get It!

Ever wondered what we've called previous conventions? Curious about what on earth goes on in the heads of those who put this convention together? Well, you've come to the right place. This is a repository for all knowledge past, present and future that we think you just might not get. If have a question that isn't answered here, send us an email.
