CODCON Gaming Convention Returns April 8 to 10

The College of DuPage Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Gaming Club will host its annual gaming convention, CODCON XXV: “25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition: Re-Roll!” Friday to Sunday, April 8 to 10, in the Student Resource Center, Room 2000, at the College’s Glen Ellyn campus, 425 Fawell Blvd.

CODCON XXV will include a variety of games and activities, including Dungeons and Dragons Adventure League, a Settlers of Catan qualifying tournament, Live Action Role Play and more.

“This is our big fundraiser for the club and many popular events will be returning from previous years,” said Club Adviser and COD English Professor James Allen. “Events like the Catan tournament and others may lead to even bigger ones down the line for us so we really want people to geek out and have fun!”

College of DuPage was unable to host CODCON for two years due to COVID-19. Previous CODCON’s have drawn crowds of more than 400 people to COD’s campus. For many Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Gaming Club members this will be their first CODCON experience.

“This event’s great because it’s here in our own area,” said Club President Danielle Taylor. “It can help us build a sense of community together.”

General meetings for the Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Gaming Club are 3 to 6 p.m. the first and third Tuesdays of the month in the Berg Instructional Center, Room 1437.
