LexiCon features a game library of over 2,000 titles, provided by LexiCon founders, convention supporters, local board game groups and the convention itself. LexiCon is notable for the large number of events it hosts relative to its size and regional nature. These events include Learn-to-Play activities, tournaments, RPG events, Cosplay demonstrations and parties in addition to scheduled and unscheduled individual games. In addition to these events, an exhibit hall with vendors and exhibitors is available to attendees as well as the general public. LexiCon was founded in 2013 by Chris Grzywacz, Philip Holland and Greg Franseth, all Lexington natives, after Grzywacz and Holland attended GenCon for the first time. Lexington had previously been home to other gaming conventions, most notably Forge, however none had lasted. Grzywacz stated his intention from the beginning that LexiCon be a permanent fixture in the Lexington community, and the others agreed that there was an untapped demand out there that they could meet. Lexicon Gaming, LLC was officially formed in October 2013, and the date of the inaugural Lexicon Gaming Convention set for May 2–4, 2014. LexiCon is currently managed by Chris Grzywacz, Greg Franseth, Rob Slevin, and Larry Estep. They started a new convention, CinCityCon Boardgaming and RPG Convention in Cincinnati in Oct. of 2018 at the Sharonville Convention Center. This convention shares many characteristics of LexiCon but has grown larger than LexiCon by its second year. (en)
