Roguelike Celebration: Preview Event 2026

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.

For this year's preview event, we're excited to share the following talks:

• "Ancient Roguelikes: The Pre-History of Roguelike Games" by Martin Pichlmair
• "Bitwise Black Magic: How to Computer, Better Faster Stronger" by Greg L
• "Don't Save The @: What Roguelikes Teach Us About Story Structure" by Jamie Brittain

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