MAY 24 – MAY 26, 2024 at the Keystone Centre, Brandon MB
Next year’s theme has been picked and the artwork is being worked up now, stay tuned for next year’s amazing artwork to come out!
Feel free to head on over to our Facebook Event or add it to your calendar now!
DINOSAURS!
Just because we couldn’t doesn’t mean we should, but we did it anyway!
Of course, the actual artwork is coming soon and will be 1000x better than this costume, but if you happen to have one of these costumes at home, let us know!
Every year, the committee likes to put a theme to PrairieCon. This sets the tone of the artwork and the look and feel of our social media for the year. This also sets the tone for our many puns over the year. 🙂
Game masters are encouraged to incorporate the theme in their games as much as possible, but it’s not mandatory.
This year being dinosaur-themed, players and GMs are invited to use their imagination to include and wonder how Dinosaurs can be incorporated into their games! Many board games already have Dinosaurs, so do a dig for your old classics! If it’s an RPG, all it takes is the imagination. Sometimes it is hard to incorporate the theme unless you think really creatively about it. For example, dinosaurs are already at the heart of every car racing game if you think about it!
So, there you have it, Dinosaurs!
Stay tuned for the artwork, we’ll post it as soon as it’s ready, we’ve seen a glimpse and the first draft is already pretty dam awesome.

Every year we have an amazing volunteer donate their time to create some amazing artwork for us. For our 42nd convention, Robyn did a fantastic job!
You can check out more of her art and our previous art in our artwork archive.
Nick Brown put in countless hours this year creating and hosting our Dungeons and Dragons Tournament: the Nightmare. We want to thank Nick for stepping up this year and making sure our D&D tournament tradition lived on. It was an absolute blast!
The Catan Tournament would not have happened without Toymasters enabling the entry with Asmodee, and we’re very thankful that Amber was able to add another amazing feature event!
And finally, we have to thank Dallas for hosting our Auction once again and making it another great experience!
The items in the raffle are donated entirely by our sponsors and vendors, the raffle ticket sales go towards helping with the venue costs of Prairiecon.
Our sponsors and vendors are the local game stores in Manitoba, and we want to encourage you all to check out our sponsor list below and support local at these amazing sponsor and vendor locations!
