Spa-Con Roleplaying Games
Spa-Con 2025 Role Playing Games (RPGs)
Join us during one of our RPG sessions and experience imaginary worlds like the fantasy settings of Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder; or perhaps a cosmic horror setting in the world of HP Lovecraft in Call of Cthulhu. There will also be various other games and settings available. You can sign-up online or you can sign up using our sign-up boards at the RPG Headquarters at the Convention Center Arena Concourse during the convention. Online sign-ups will be available a month prior to the convention. You will need a VIP or Weekend Pass to Spa-Con to play in any of the RPG sessions.
If you are interested in running a 4 hour RPG session please email us at spa-con@hotsprings.org.
RPG Paint and Take
Steadfast Hobbies and Games, the local Hot Springs game store (which now carries new/used comic books), is sponsoring a “free” miniature “Paint and Take” table during the convention. The “Paint and Take” table will be available while RPG sessions are in progress, starting Friday night. Grab a miniature, sit down, relax, and paint!
Raffles and Giveaways
Spa Con RPG Headquarters will have numerous giveaways and raffles. Each player and gamemaster will get a free convention specific gift for each RPG session they attend. There will also be a raffle during each RPG time slot (4 total raffles – Fri, Sat AM, Sat PM, Sun). We will draw winners an hour into the sessions. Raffle prizes will be donated by Steadfast Hobbies and Games, this will include painted miniatures and gift certificates. You will be able to check your tickets and pick up prizes at the RPG Headquarters table.
