DunDraCon is a large roleplaying convention in the USA. It runs every President's Day weekend (February) in San Ramon, CA. While the lineup is dominated by tabletop rpgs, a significant number of theatre-style larps are also run. It is a key venue for the California larp community.
The first larp run at DunDraCon appears to have been the Dream Buccaneers Live Quest, run at DunDraCon X in 1986, advertised as "a playtested game with room for over 150... Come in costume if you've got one!"[1] The same year it hosted a seminar on live roleplaying from Times Were about their live-action Cthulhu games and "recreations of meetings at Rick's Place in Casablanca".[2] While seminars about larp appeared frequently in following years, actual larps did not appear again until 1992, with a run of Long Ago and Far Away.[3]
