CoastalCon 2026: Beaufort, South Carolina (December 12-13)

CoastalCon is a small wargaming convention originally started in 2020 (yep, poor timing!).  The convention is generally aimed at indie-developed games or smaller wargames...but it open to any kind of gaming/event.
 
While it had a rough few years, including missing out on 2025 entirely, 'Mac', the guy behind it has brought it back for 2026.
 

It is organized primarily through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Coastalcon
 
This year it is being held on December 12th and 13th (Sat/Sun) at the Holiday Inn & Suites Beaufort - located at 2225 Boundary Street, Beaufort, South Carolina.
 
It's generally around $20-25 to get access for both days, and is a great way to learn about wargaming conventions.  No huge tournaments, no crowds of hundreds/thousands of people.  Attendance has been in the 30-70 range the past few years, and I'm looking to bump that a bit with some local guys.
 
People will be hosting lots of demo games on small tables for a variety of skirmish/wargames, etc. 
 
I'll be running Famine, Sword, & Fire, and likely Caverns, Crypts, & Catacombs - maybe Shoot N' Skedaddle if I feel up to it.
