2013 is going to be a good year for Nerd Conventions! With CanCon past, there is PAX and now Epic Diem to look forward to!

Epic Diem will take place at the USC Sports Stadium on Queensland’s Sunshine Coat on Sunday 21 September. Eagle-eyed readers will not that this clashes with LXG’s September club meeting, but we won’t hold that against them!

It is great to see a new convention appear, especially in Queensland, as we have had a long wait for a quality convention to come around. Epic Diem looks to be focused around role-playing and LARPing, but with plenty of other events added in. It bills itself as a nerd culture expo. Confirmed so far are:

TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING MINI CAMPAIGNS
MAGIC THE GATHERING TOURNAMENTS
YU-GI-OH TOURNAMENTS
COMICS
COSPLAY RUNWAY SHOW AND COMPETITION
BATTLESPORTS
BOFFER BATTLES
MONSTER MAKER SEMINAR
FACE PAINTING

There will be further announcements of events and also of vendors as we get closer to the event. You can keep updated on their website or Facebook page. If you find out what a Boffer Battle is, let me know!

If you aren’t able to make our September club meeting, why not drive up to the Sunshine Coast and check it out!
