Legends of Kralis is a science fantasy role-playing game set in the world of Kralis. This Heroic Aetherpunk setting allows you to create and play the character you wish without restrictive classes. Choose from a multitude of skills and abilities to become Legendary as you solve dark mysteries, stop sinister plots, explore ancient ruins of lost civilizations, and discover new worlds drifting through the Void. The very core of this role-playing game (and company) is imaginative storytelling. Experience the excitement with friends sharing adventures full of gripping plots, horrific creatures, and a vast world full of danger.

About MaricopaCon
MaricopaCon is Arizona's first kickstarted gaming convention. It started at Jason's house and was held there the first two years. The 3rd year brought about the Kickstarter project and a public venue. This will be the 11th year at a public venue and it will be made possible by the kickstarter supporters and GMs. We specialize in small and cozy feel with a chill atmosphere. MaricopaCon brings together many of the local game designers who have had many successful kickstarted projects of their own! We have recently obtained AZ Non-Profit status as well.
