Phenomenon is a roleplaying convention in Australia. It runs every Queens Birthday weekend (early June) in Canberra. While the core of the convention is table top roleplaying, it has a strong Australian freeform / theatre-style larp component.
History
The first Phenomenon was run in 1994. While intended to be a Canberra convention, due to venue costs it was held over the border at Karabar High School in New South Wales.[1] In 1996 the convention shifted to ANU in Canberra, and has stayed in the city ever since. After some shifting around in the calendar, since 2003 it has run consistently at Queens Birthday weekend in early June.
