Roguelike Celebration: Preview Event 2025

Roguelike games have been part of gaming culture for over 30 years and they have a deep and special place in our hearts. We'd love to get to spend some time with you all learning about roguelikes and socializing together.

While the full Roguelike Celebration conference isn’t happening until October, we wanted to provide a space for the community to gather before then. This will be an opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and explore our exciting custom-built multiplayer game/chat space! It's totally free, and all you’ll need to attend is a web browser.

This year we have:

• An exclusive fireside chat with Jon Perry about game design and his contributions to UFO 50 such as Planet Zoldath, Party House, and Mini & Max!
• A talk from Alexei Pepers, Designing for System Suspense, which she had previously given for GDC but which is trapped within the vault.
• Ezra Szanton will present a talk: "Building Synergy Webs in Roguelike Deckbuilders"!

We'll have more information about all of these on our website (https://www.roguelike.club/) soon!
