Nuke(m)con is the groups weekend-long game fest. Run on years where a majority of the group is unable to hit the big cons (like Gencon, Origins, etc.)
About
The con started when the lives of the Blackrazors prevented them from going to the larger cons. Originally it was called NukeCon as it happened at NukeHavoc's house. However after a nasty letter from a tiny con somewhere in the Midwest with the same name, the official title was changed to Nuke(m)Con.
Games of all sorts are played at Nuke(m)con: RPGs, boardgames, card games, miniature war-games, and even video games. The group uses these cons as testing grounds for games they'd like to try, or even to kick off whole new RPG campaigns. It's also a tradition to have one big "Megashot" event which ties into the groups long running campaigns.
