Attendees of the convention perused the booths of games, comics, and artists as well as dressed up as their favorite fantasy world character.
With such a successful turnout for the innaugural event, organizers are excited to be able to look forward to next year’s convention.
“One of the most exciting things I think we have been discussing today is the term ‘next year’, which is very exciting. We thought this would be something we would try to see how it went, but with as much support as we have gotten now we get to use the term ‘next year’,” said vendor organizer Seema Choudhary.
TippyCon also held tournaments for various board and video games as well as demonstrations from game-makers and comic artists.
Organizers say they can’t wait for an expanded event next year.
