Hi!  Welcome to NASCRAG.

If you’re looking for some good D+D at Gen Con this year, you’ve come to the right place.  Nascrag is the ONLY D+D 3.5 Tournament at GenCon in 2009.

Who We Are:

NASCRAG is a national organization of gamers, headquartered in the Chicago area, that has been hosting D+D tournaments at Gen Con (and other conventions) since 1980 - 30 years!  At Gen Con, the only D+D event that has been around longer is the D+D Open.

All that experience means that we really know how to put together a game.  We have a system of editing, play-testing, and review that assures our players of a fun time, year after year.  That’s why so many of them come back again and again.

NASCRAG also features dozens of pieces of original artwork from renowned artist, Bill "Indy" Cavalier.  There is nothing that pulls you into a scene like actual drawing of what you see.  No other event at Gen Con is nearly as well illustrated as a NASCRAG event.

What We Do:

NASCRAG tournaments focus on role-playing, puzzle solving, and humor rather than combat tactics and dice rolling.  Cheesy accents are not only allowed, they are encouraged!  If you’re looking for strategy, tactics, and lots of combat, you might want to try the D+D Open instead.

The 2009 NASCRAG event will be

NASCRAG Presents: The Pretanic Island Saga - "In a Pot":

A three round, single elimination tournament, in which teams of six compete to advance.  Up to 25 of the best teams will go on to the second round, and as many as 15 will compete for Honor! Glory! And Prizes! in the third round.  Please Note: you do not have to have a team to play.  We will find you a team, or make up a new one!

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I in this large iron stew pot? Is it warm in here or is it just my imagination? Find out what’s cooking in our 30th year of puzzle-solving, role playing goodness. Characters include a bugbear captain, thieving kobold dancing twins, a human sorcerer, a goblin cleric and a gypsy woman. A 3 round, team advancement tournament. Round 2: Saturday @ 1 pm. Round 3: Saturday @ 7 pm. Awards party: Saturday @ 11 pm.

The Pretanic Island Saga is a new series of Nascrag events written by the Filking Weiners, the authors of the Seconds series of adventures (Second Chances, Second Wave, Second Time).
