We remain true to the Berlin system of the founding fathers of Nexus: all game rounds begin and end at the same time. Between the game round blocks are breaks, where food intake and smaller program points can take place.

Our Mission
Cauldron is all about old-school roleplaying – or to be precise: about the first edition of AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, the successor and predecessor of D&D). This includes the various clones, replicas and adaptations.
This means that characters can be transferred and used across different game rounds.
AD&D allows for a wide range of play styles and adventures, all of which we would like to experience at the con. We are therefore especially looking forward to your registration as game masters! Whether you bring your own world, self-made dungeons and adventures, or a classic module you’ve always wanted to DM – everything is welcome!
Registration
The registration for Cauldron is done via the external tool EasyCon. By clicking on the button you will be redirected to the registration page.
Note: We are fully booked, but you can still sign up for the waiting list.
