Ropecon ((:ropekon)) is a role-playing convention held annually in Finland. The convention is one of the largest non-commercial annual events of its kind, having reached a record of 3946 attendees in 2007.〔 (Ropecon official website - History )〕 The current venue is the Dipoli convention centre and surrounding buildings in Espoo (close to Helsinki, the capital city of Finland). Ropecon hosts a wide variety of different types of games, including role-playing games, live action role-playing games, collectible card games, miniature wargames and strategy games. The event also has a range of lectures, panel discussions and other presentations covering different aspects of gaming. Past guests of honor have included several prominent game designers, such as Steve Jackson. Ropecon is organised by the Ropecon Society, a joint venture of several Finnish role-playing associations. The practical arrangements are made by the unpaid members of an organising committee and hundreds of voluntary workers at the convention. Any profits are used to support various other role-playing activities. The name "Ropecon" comes from the Finnish language word "roolipeli", meaning role-playing game, not from the English language word "rope". The Finnish culture ministry supported Ropecon in 2013 with funding.〔http://yle.fi/uutiset/opera_nabs_biggest_share_of_festival_funding/6585099〕 == List of Ropecons == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ropecon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
