Doxacon Seattle 2024 is fast approaching and we’re putting the finishing touches on the event. The theme for this year’s convention is At the End of all Things: Utopias, Dystopias, and the Persistence of Hope.
Are you an otherworldly monster who is glad that an apocalyptic event has stemmed the tide of pesky humans, allowing you and your strange community of forgotten critters to finally reestablish a foothold in the world? … Hopefully not, but if you would like to pretend you are, you will likely enjoy joining Cow Shea for a game of exploration and world-building called The Deep Forest. Unusually for an RPG, we won’t play individual characters, but together tell the ongoing story of the whole community as we try to find, create, and defend our place in the world.
If you’re interested in playing, ask about the sign-up sheet at registration when you arrive on Saturday!

Where
Doxacon Seattle 2024 will be at the Brightwater Center (22505 State Route 9 SE Woodinville, WA 98072) in Woodinville. While parking at Brightwater Center is generous, we highly recommend carpooling (especially if going to the after-party, where parking is limited).

After the convention, we will be gathering at Zulu’s Board Game Cafe for an optional after-party. This is un-programmed time, meant to be an opportunity for returning and new attendees to (re)connect and enjoy fellowship & food together. If you’re available, we hope you’ll join in the fun!

If you have tested positive for COVID or are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms on the day of the convention, we ask you to stay home – you can request a refund for your membership from info@doxaconseattle.com

We welcome our participants’ creativity and enthusiasm by inviting all to engage in cosplay. Our cosplay policy is simple: If you feel comfortable wearing your cosplay in front of your priest or pastor and the children of your parish, it should be fine and we’d love to see it.
In practical terms, we ask that your cosplay not be revealing, gory, dangerous, or threatening, and that all cosplay demonstrates engagement in community by being mindful of and respectful toward others. If you’re debating with yourself whether parts of your cosplay might be questionable, please err on the side of sensitivity to others!
