BASHCon

Bashcon is Toledo's grand celebration of everything related to nerd culture, with a focus on tabletop gaming. Bashcon 40 will be running from February 6-8.

We're entirely student ran, and we boast a large variety of vendors and artists at our convention. We believe that games transform humanity. They inspire our minds, entertain our spirits, and allow us to establish a sense of camaraderie among fellow gamers. We believe a group of college kids can bring fun, excitement, inspiration, and friendship to the world. So we run a convention once a year, ca

lled BASHCon. Join us in realizing the BASHCon Dream: bringing gaming, and its fantastic culture, to the masses.

Dark Aeons: A New Dark Age is the new setting era that is being showcased at Bashcon 40. It’s a post apocalyptic role playing game that takes place 70+ years after the end of the world that we know. The Atlanteans have taken control of most of North America and created the 3rd Atlantean Empire within North America.

This setting era has elements of the post apocalypse, cyberpunk, Lovecraftian Horror and Machevellian Intrigue.
