Held this year on August 10-12, a few miles from the center of Helsinki,
Finland, Ropecon is Europe's biggest independent roleplaying convention.

Biggest means we expect around 4000 visitors. Independent means it's all
done on a volunteer basis. You won't be seeing big computer game ads in
this con.

This year, the themes of Ropecon are romance, and co-operation. Romance
as in romance novels or Romanticist art movement or love. Co-operation
as in co-operative games or co-operation between gamers all over.

Roleplaying in the the Nordic countries is a popular hobby prominently
displayed in the mainstream media. As Northern Europe's biggest
roleplaying event, Ropecon provides an excellent chance to get to know
this unique roleplaying phenomenon.

Ropecon goers are typically between 15 to 30 years of age, with roughly
equal amounts of girls and boys. The programme consists of all sorts of
gaming, as well as lectures and debates. There are several simultaneous
tracts of programme, often at least one of them in English. All Finns
naturally speak English, in case your Finnish is a bit rusty.

The guests of honor are Robin D. Laws, Emily Care Boss, and Jakob Rune
Nielsen. Expect to also meet gamers from neighboring countries,
especially Sweden and Estonia.
