Evening, folks! It’s time for the most anticipated announcement of the season. Well… perhaps it’s more the third-most anticipated.

Registration Open

Registration is now open! As always, we have a few tiers to choose from. Early standard registration (admission) is $25 while a premium registration (admission and a shirt) is $40. Additional swag is also available to purchase with your registration through July 1st. After this date, swag will no longer be available to pre-order and standard registration will increase to $30.

This year, we will once again be able to sell swag and registration on-site as stock and capacity permits.

Head to our registration page to get started.

More Swag? More Swag!

We’re super excited to showcase two additions to this year’s swag lineup:

Coasters

Designed by Kelly “Rayne” Coston, we have a set of four coasters featuring stained glass interpretations of the Direbo bubbles. Coasters are UV printed on clear acrylic and include rubber feet. The display stand shown in the picture below, designed (though not yet finished) by Curator, is not included or available for purchase.

Lanyard Charms

Kelly “Rayne” Coston has also contributed a Tablet design lanyard charm this year. While not shown, charms will include a ring and clasp for easy attaching to your lanyard or badge.

Last Call for Event Submissions

As a reminder, event submissions close on April 30th. If you are planning to submit an event concept, please keep next week’s deadline in mind.

Creativity Prompts

Likewise, submissions for this month’s creativity prompt theme of “thawing” are due by April 30th. Head to the Discord to check it out!

Thanks, everyone, for your patience as we work hard to bring you a great Mysterium 2025! Until next time…

Hello everyone and welcome to 2025! Mysterium grows ever closer with the turning of the calendar. Are you excited?

We have a few quick updates to ring in the new year.

Riven Spoilers

We’ve received a few inquiries regarding whether spoilers for Riven (2024) will be allowed at Mysterium this year. Following some discussion, the committee will permit spoilers at the convention.

We wish to provide a space where attendees and fans are able to discuss Riven freely, especially knowing that over a year will have passed since its release. We will do our best to indicate whether events and presentations contain spoilers so attendees can plan accordingly. Presenters will also be encouraged to let attendees know if their content contains spoilers before starting.

While we won’t be able to enforce it, we’ll have some small star stickers available at registration for you to apply to your badge holder if you wish to indicate to others that you would like to avoid Riven spoilers in conversation.

Submission Reminders

As a reminder, submissions for shirt designs, pins, events, writing, and artwork are all open. The next deadline is shirts and pins, which will close on February 26th.

For more information, check out the Submissions Hub.

Creativity Prompt Winner and Updates

The winner of September/October’s Creativity Prompt of “Falling” is Talashar’s “Many Colors.” Please do give it a read!

Voting is underway for November/December’s “Hearth” topic and submissions are currently being accepted for January/February’s theme, “Rime.” Check out the Discord to participate!

We wish everyone the best start to 2025! Stay tuned for more updates soon…
