About Draconis Festival
Draconis Festival is the biggest role-playing game event of Quebec. It offers more than a hundred role-playing game sessions for beginners or advanced players. Offered games go from classics like Dungeons & Dragons and Call of Cthulhu to the latest independent local role-playing game. The festival is held two times a year. Online on Discord in Winter and in person at the CÉGEP du Vieux-Montréal in Fall. In any case, the event is totally free and open to all the diversity.
The organization team is made entirely of volunteers and the role-playing games are offered by members of our excellent community.
Non-profit organization
Since 2024, Festival Draconis is also a non-profit organization (NPO) dedicated to promoting the role-playing hobby in Quebec, by holding one-off and/or regular events, and by offering services to help role-players improve their skills. To make sure you don’t miss out on any of these activities, follow us on our Facebook page and on our Discord server.

- Participate in the General Assembly and other meetings of the organization.
- Equal voting rights with all other members on various decisions.
