Gary Con

Gary Con is a tabletop gaming convention in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, created to honor Gary Gygax and the roots of Dungeons & Dragons. Founded in 2008, it has grown into a destination event for RPG enthusiasts, old-school players, and anyone curious about the hobby’s origins.

Part of its appeal lies in its setting and atmosphere. Lake Geneva isn’t just a backdrop—it’s where TSR was founded and where early D&D took shape in the 1970s. The convention leans into that legacy, blending modern play with a strong sense of place.
