Welcome to BYOV. 2024 was another great year–our players never cease to amaze us. We only start the ball rolling, they take it and shoot three-pointers into the endzone.
We’ll be running four more live-action roleplaying games at the 2025 Con, across a variety of genres–from comedy to horror to modern magical realism. We’re in the process of writing, but more information is always being posted both here and at our Facebook Page. Feel free to contact us to talk about characters or find out more details about our 2025 games.
Our games will be located in Union Station, a block from the Convention Center. Games typically run 4-5 hours, with the last 45 min to an hour incorporating ‘The Reveal’, where long-term plots play out, everyone’s secrets are revealed, final actions are taken, and you find out who your real friends and enemies were.
Some of our characters are heavy on goals: plotting and scheming and making things happen. Others are heavy on role-playing, for those who just want to immerse in a character and world. Most are some combination of both.
And importantly, we try to make our games inclusive. We welcome anyone who doesn’t hate other people for being who they are, and we try to write our characters and plots to reflect that. While some characters will be written to be a specific race or ethnicity, gender or sexuality, others have not been, and the choice is yours. Please feel free to talk to us if you’d like to discuss those issues.
We hope to see you at our games.
