Less than 7 days left --> FriendCon Spring is almost here!

Fri & Sat, April 4 & 5 10am - 10pm
Woodfords Club
179 Woodford St
Portland, ME

7 days 'til FriendCon's Spring 2025! Patty will be there Fri and Sat, April 4 & 5, 12 pm - 8 pm with some of our library for attendees to play. We'll also be tossing a gift card into the raffle mix and lending out our sensory bags to any attendees that need a bit of calm. @friendconme.bsky.social

FriendCon is proud to partner with StoreySmith Pediatric Clinic and Owlbear’s Rest to support sensory inclusivity! If you need noise-canceling headphones, wiggle chairs, or fidgets, just stop by the front desk.

Two of our most dedicated FriendCon members are continuing their tradition of supporting our flagship events!

FriendCon wouldn't be nearly as fun without support from the local businesses we team up with! #FriendConME #PortlandMaine #SupportLocalBusiness

What games have been hitting your table lately, and where do you usually play?

On tonight's episode of FriendCon: a 6-player game of Guilds of Cadwallon

Join our weekly gatherings. No experience required. It's totally normal to drop in & join a game with folks you haven't met yet. We get that it might seem daunting, but trust us, we're all a bit quirky & awkward. You'll fit right in!
