For the gamers at heart, Oz Comic-Con is thrilled to be continuing its partnership with the Australian Esports League (AEL), which will be bringing freeplay gaming zones and esports tournaments for some healthy (but very competitive) action. For those who prefer a roll of the dice, the Tabletop Gaming Zone features an impressive library of over 40 different games, providing a chance to revisit a classic or discover something completely new. If TTRPGs are more your speed, local tabletop gaming groups will be in attendance all weekend running learn-to-play sessions.
As for the collectors, Popcultcha will be on site all weekend with lashings of pop culture merchandise ranging from action figures and statues to replica movie props and other items both big and small, perfect for seasoned collectors and newcomers alike. Plus, local favourites Dee’s Books and Comics will be bringing their carefully curated range, boasting rare and Australian-made comics.
