Hi all,

Thank you so much for coming and having fun with us. It has been so wonderful to share games, stories and laughs.

Make spaces better for yourself and those around you. Be generous with your games and stories. And take care of yourself, it's been a long wonderful weekend. Get some sleep!

For those who backed the campaign at a level that included digital zinethology, we're happy to announce it's availably in the BackerKit Digital Downloads

We are so thankful for everyone who came to the con and made it such a wonderful experience for everyone else who attended. We hope to see you again at Big Bad Online!

1. Pack your COVID-19 Vaccination Records

We're happy to accept vaccination records in any form (physical card, picture of your card, apps, etc), however we require proof of vaccination before entering the con. So please make sure to pack that card, take a pick, or check your app before you head out the door.

2. Test before you head out

Please take a COVID test before you get to the con (preferably 24-72 hours before) and confirm that you have a negative result. We'll have rapid tests available (for free) to anyone who needs them, but supplies are limited so please pack them if you have them!

3. Vaccination Check - First thing to do when you Arrive!

Before doing anything else at the con, check into the Vaccination Screening station. It is located just inside the double doors near the main entrance. Here's a map for directions.

At the screening station, they will ask for your proof of vaccination and to confirm that you've taken a recent COVID text and confirmed you were negative.

4. Mask that provide KN95 or better protection required

We require masks in all convention spaces that require KN95 or better protection. Those include KN95, KF94, N95, and many of the more advanced masks (like Flo masks). The following mask do not provide enough protection against recent variants and so they are not sufficient:Cloth masksSurgical masksFace coverings with exhalation valvesMesh materialsCostume masksFor more on our mask requirements, see our public health policy.

Now is the perfect time to go buy or order masks so they are available in time for the convention. Big Bad Con will have some convention branded masks and COVID tests available, but supplies are limited.

Very excited to see you all at the con. Thanks for everything that you do to help keep yourself and everyone else safe!

Best,

Sean and the Big Bad Con Programming Team

Hi all,

Thank you once again for your support! Later today we'll send out surveys to 5% of our backers to test our pledge management configuration. After 48 hours, assuming there were no hiccups that cause a delay, we'll send surveys out to everyone.

This year, we've automated badge activation. If you pledged at a level that includes one or more badges (or added badges to your order), once your survey is complete you'll receive a unique code for each badge in your BackerKit Digital Downloads. Here's how it works:

If you have any issues you can either use the BackerKit support or email us ([email protected]). If you are activating multiple badges, make sure to log out and log back in with each account you want to activate. Each code can only be used once.
