===Cancellation===
On March 26th, 2020, it was announced that SimuCon 2020 was canceled.
<blockquote>Hi friends,

We've gone ahead and made the very difficult decision to cancel SimuCon this year. I know it's a long way off still, but we feel it's the best thing to do for our playerbase and everyone's families and friends. We're giving you as much advanced notice as possible so you can do what you need to do with any resources you may have devoted to SimuCon, like airfare or hotel reservations or vacation time.
We're still going to offer non-attendee goodie bags (the in-game swag) and put the funds raised from that into the budget for SimuCon 2021. In addition, we're looking at how we can livestream some events, like round table discussion and the State of Elanthia. We'll keep you posted about how we decide to handle that when it gets a little closer, but the plan is to do at least the SoE when it would have been scheduled in St. Louis.

Latest revision as of 09:58, 17 April 2024

SimuCon is the annual Simutronics convention held in St. Louis, Missouri.

The first SimuCon was in 1990, several years prior to DragonRealms' creation, and it was actually called GemCon (for Simutronics biggest game of the time GemStone).

The next SimuCon was in 1997 and was called SimuCon II. After that all SimuCons were named by the year they were held from SimuCon '98 through SimuCon 2007, though no SimuCon was held in 2006.

In 1999 a large number of players, led by GameMaster Treveri, started a player-run DragonRealms convention in Las Vegas called VegasCon. The first VegasCon was coincidentally scheduled the same weekend as a similar GemStone meeting in Las Vegas. After 1999 all VegasCons have been planned with both DragonRealms and GemStone at the same location.
