Game Selection starts next Saturday, April 18 at noon! Make sure you're around a computer at that time, some games fill up quickly!
If there are games you want to run, that you haven't submitted yet, now's the time! Submit them by Friday so they're in the system for Saturday's game selection.
Our registration system will be open for GMs to start submitting their games.
Visit our game submission page to learn more.
You need to purchase a badge to participate in the events of PrairieCon and to choose your games when Game Selection opens.
We open badge purchasing early, so that you can have your badge pre-purchased and ready to choose your games the second that game selection opens.
This is when you can start to choose the games you want to play at PrairieCon. Some games fill up quickly. Very quickly. Be ready!

March 21 is going to be a great day for gamers!
Not only do we have our Free Spring GamesDay at the Central Community Centre, but there's also the Westman Gaming Expo that same day at the Keystone Centre!
Two different gaming events on one day! Head on over to the Gaming Expo to check out their big event, and then jump on over to the community centre for a quieter atmosphere to sit down with friends for some board games!
Our Spring GamesDay will be back at the Central Community Centre on March 21, 2026!
From 12 pm to 10 pm
PrairieCon GamesDays are fun, free events where anyone can come by and drop in to play some tabletop games. They are very casual open-gaming events with no scheduling or slots. If you see an open spot at a table, just ask if you can join in! Or, if you’re unsure of where to go, ask someone at the canteen, and we’ll do our best to help you get into a game.
Bring any kind of game you want, provided it’s family-friendly. GamesDays lend themselves to board games better than other types of games, but people have run RPGs in the past, and also miniature skirmish and war games.
If you have any questions, reach out to info@prairiecon.com
See you there!
This year's theme for PrairieCon 45 is: The Call of the Elder Ones
We wanted to acknowledgeCall of Cthulu's 50th year! Technically, this was last year, but by the time we found out, we already had our theme for PrairieCon 44 set. Last year, Chaosium (the creators of Call of Cthulu) gave out a huge bundle of gaming books and supplies to conventions for us to use as prizes, etc., and we were fortunate enough to get our hands on one!
So, in our own small way, we wanted to thank them for their contribution to gaming and for their gifts to the gaming community by dedicating this year's theme to them!
And of course, we have to once again give huge thanks to Alyssa Fraser for her time and energy for producing this amazing piece!
Alyssa is also a tattoo artist in Winnipeg. If you're interested in getting some ink, be sure to check her out!
