Ropecon 2017—Role-playing Convention without Role-playing games

#Ropecon used to be a role-playing convention held in Finland. I went last year (2016). According to the schedule there were a 180 tabletop #RPGs then and I took part in two. I liked them quite a bit a decided I would go again this year. But before I spent 35 € I wanted to find out if there are any #games that interest me. So I waited before buying the cheaper advance ticket. And kept waiting.

Now, less than two weeks before this year's (2017) event of the same name, I found out, that advance ticket sales have closed and there still are no tabletop games listed in the schedule. So I guess the “organizers” of Ropecon really don’t want any people to come to play role-playing games in their little event. Fine, I won’t come then.
