CondoCon began with a simple idea: what if we could keep the best part of a gaming convention and leave the rest behind?
The CondoCon name first appeared in 2018, when a group of friends attending Orlando's MegaCon decided to bring some of their favorite convention gaming companions back to the condo where they were staying. They were still attending the convention, but the idea of making the gaming and camaraderie their own was taking shape.
By 2019, the idea had grown into something of its own. Rather than buying convention tickets, fighting the crowds, and working around the convention's gaming schedule, the group decided to rent a place, split the cost, and spend the weekend gaming together. The first independent CondoCon brought together around eight to ten people, and a tradition was born.
Since then, CondoCon has continued to bring friends and invited guests together for a weekend built around tabletop role-playing games, shared experiences, and the occasional story that probably shouldn't be repeated outside the house.
It's grown and changed over the years, but the original idea remains the same: good people, interesting games, and time together without needing a convention to make it happen.

CondoCon is primarily a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) gathering. One of the things that makes the weekend special is the variety: we're not just playing the same familiar systems. We make room for one-shots, unusual settings, experimental mechanics, and games that you might not otherwise get a chance to play with your regular group. D&D is welcome, of course, but it's only a small part of the games typically on offer.
Board games also have a place at CondoCon, with a couple of dedicated slots during the weekend. Other activities and friendly competitions may find their way into the schedule as well.
Absolutely not. You're welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. Hanging out, watching a game, or simply enjoying the company is perfectly fine.
That said, CondoCon runs on the willingness of attendees to share games and activities. We have a limited number of participants and plenty of games we'd like to get to the table, so additional GMs are always welcome! If you've been thinking about running something, even a one-shot or a shorter game, we'd love to hear about it. You don't have to be a veteran GM, either.
Game and activity information will be published on the Games & Activities page as plans develop.
Most CondoCon attendees stay together in a shared rental house, which serves as our home base for the weekend. However, staying overnight isn't required. Local attendees may prefer to join us for games, meals, and activities during the day and return to their own homes at night.
Room arrangements, costs, and other lodging details are coordinated ahead of the event. Sharing rooms is part of keeping the weekend affordable, although room configurations and preferences may vary from year to year.
Specific lodging information for CondoCon IX will be communicated directly to attendees.
Food is part of the CondoCon experience. Breakfast and dinner are shared meals scheduled every day, with a final breakfast together on Sunday before everyone heads home.
These are our two planned communal meals each day. We often choose restaurants with buffet service, such as Golden Corral or local Chinese buffets. At least half of our shared meals typically follow this format. Buffets give everyone plenty of choices, let people take as much or as little as they like, and tend to make group dining quicker and easier.
Our Minister of Food, Troy, will coordinate meal locations ahead of time this year. The goal is to spend less of the weekend figuring out where everyone is going to eat and more time enjoying the company.
Lunch is informal, and we encourage everyone to contribute to and enjoy the communal snack area. We'll designate an area in the house for shared snacks and quick food items.
While nobody is discouraged from enjoying a full meal at the house, we don't typically arrange takeout or prepare full meals there. The house is primarily our place for snacks, quick bites, and time together between activities.
The refrigerator is available for attendee use. If you have dietary restrictions, specific food preferences, or simply want to keep some provisions for yourself, that's perfectly fine. Please label personal food clearly so everyone knows what's communal and what's not.
The goal is to make shared meals easy and enjoyable while leaving everyone flexibility for their own needs.
