Nuke-Con is a not-for-profit organization, formed in 1990 in
Omaha, Nebraska, dedicated to promoting the positive social, educational, and entertainment aspects in all types of
gaming hobbies through their game days and annual convention.
Convention and Game Days
Traditionally held the first weekend in October, Nuke-con's annual gaming convention features a spectrum of games, from table-top and live-action
role playing to board games, card games, miniature games and
computer games. Dealer tables are positioned around the edges of the main gaming room, with other events, such as an anime/SciFi room, being located near by. Nuke-con actively promotes a family-friendly environment with age-appropriate games and activities for younger children. Recent guests have included game designers
James Earnest and Bruce Glassco, artist
Aaron Williams as well as Author David Wellington. Perennial guest-artist emeritus is Fredd Gorham.
Game Days are held periodically throughout the year and frequently emphasize a particular type of game. More information about current events and volunteer opportunities may be found at the "Fallout Shelter", Nukecon's on-line registration portal.
