Celebrate the return of the celebrated Dungeon o’ Doooooooom at our 2023 event, a 3D Dungeon Delve experience where you play one of 6 heroes who are trying to fight their way to the center of the dungeon in order to destroy the evil that has brought the dungeon to the realm. When a player character dies, there will be a bone taken from the character sheet and placed in the dungeon to mark that character’s death.
This is a come-and-go game. If you have 15 minutes, 1 hour, or more stop by and visit. Observers are always welcome. The event is free with your TsunamiCon badge!
A proud TsunamiCon tradition started by the fine folks from Reaper Miniatures at our very first con, we invite you to stop in and select one of this year’s Bones mini selections to paint and take home at your leisure. In contrast to the metal alloy figures that have been part of the hobby for time out of mind, bones miniatures are comprised of a special polymer plastic that’s easy to paint, requires no primer, and looks fantastic. All the painting supplies you need are on hand, and the event is FREE with your TsunamiCon badge!
The Reaper Paint & Take event is open at various hours throughout the convention. Stop in anytime and enjoy this unique opportunity to partake in a fun and relaxing activity at this year’s convention.
