magical extras
The
Story Forge
An alternative take on the
Narrator & Voice Actor experience.
Located within the convention hall, this collective lounge-style space is dedicated to all the Narrators and Voice Actors.
Attendees can still enjoy a few traditional tables with giveaway goodies in addition to live interviews at the top of every hour.
Narrators and Voice Actors can expect an experience that encourages networking AND meeting the attendees who love and support your work.
The
Enchanted Shelf
A leave-one, take-one book exchange booth
At The Enchanted Shelf, attendees and exhibitors alike can gift a story (or several) and claim the same number in return - no coins or quests required.
Located within the convention hall and open to all attendees during their ticketed convention hours…
… because magic doesn’t just live in new pages, it lingers in the ones already loved, and every book deserves a second adventure!
All books remaining at the close of the convention will be donated - exact cause/charity TBD but will be shared in April.
The
Rebel's Siege
A Game of Quests, Courage, and Fortune
Embark on a quest designed to ensure you experience all the special elements of Rebels & Realms. When your journey comes to a close you can exchange your "spoils" for tickets to our giveaway (no purchase necessary). This main quest is free to all attendees.
For those with an adventurer's spirit, take on additional side quests (small fee may apply). Completed side quests can earn you additional giveaway tickets.
Additional details coming in April.
Artisan's Alcove
Craft Trades & Trinkets
Do you share a love of trades and trinket making? Then this is a space that is surely calling your name!
We'll be providing supplies for making friendship bracelets and bookmarks but we also welcome you to bring your own craft to Artisan's Alcove if bracelets and bookmarks aren't your thing.
Attendees will need to register before accessing Artisan's Alcove. There is no cost to participate.
Official schedule coming in April.
