After Dark Panels
The amazing Melbourne D&D troupe Let’s Roll for Dragons will be having a drink or two and taking us through a special Dungeons and Dragons campaign called Dungeons and Dragons and Dating. The ultimate mash-up of reality TV and fantasy! Embark on romantic quests with iconic characters from pop culture. The audience will hold the fate of the players in their hands through drinking games, voting, dice rolling, and more.
Our friend Captain Patch-It takes over a panel room for a complete set of After Dark shows featuring cosplay guests, a beverage or two, and no filters. Putting together last-minute cosplays on stage, saucy storytelling that may or may not actually be lies, and the return of the Cosplay Mystery date! Will our cosplayers find love? Come find out!
