ArcanaCon is a roleplaying convention in Australia. It runs every Australia Day weekend (late January) in Melbourne. While the core of the convention is table top roleplaying, it has a strong Australian freeform / theatre-style larp component.
History
The first ArcanaCon was run in September 1983.[1] It ran its first freeform the following year - a Traveller scenario set on an asteroid mining colony[2][3] - the second ever to be run in Australia. The format gained in popularity, with two being run in 1985 (The Nights of Camelot[4] and The Last Gasp[5]) and four in 1986.[6]
In 1988 ArcanaCon switched to an early - mid July timeslot. In 2001, with ArcanaCon XIX, it moved to its current Australia Day weekend timeslot.
