About this convention
Warpcon is run every year, during the last weekend of January. Now entering its 26th year Warpcon is Cork's biggest Gaming convention, and Ireland's largest student run gaming convention.
WARPS (the UCC Wargaming And Roleplaying Society) are the organizers of the event and have grown it from a small student event into one of the biggest conventions in the country.
Each year, there are dozens of RPGs from a plethora of systems, CCGs, Heroclix, tabletop wargaming, LARPS, Storygames and more run each day of the weekend.
