Shuffle Up and Roll Initiative! Vault Games at GhMX 2026

GhMX, the Gaming, Hobby & Model Expo, returns to the Exhibition Building at the Brisbane Showgrounds in a few short weeks on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026, and Vault Games will be there for the whole weekend! If you haven't been before, GhMX brings model building, cosplay, miniature painting, video gaming and tabletop tournaments together under one roof, and it's a great excuse to try a game you've only ever watched someone else play.

Let's run through what you'll find at the convention from Vault Games, the Learn-to-Play and RPG sessions you can book into, and the details you'll need before you head along.

The Vault Booth

You'll find Vault Games at booth 501, right beside Stage Central and just in front of the Trading Card Zone, with a range of games, books, boosters and miniatures to browse and pick up from the event. If you try something at one of the sessions and fall in love with it, you can wander over and grab it before you leave. While you're there, have a look at whether any convention specials are running over the weekend!

Learn to Play Trading Card Games in the Trading Card Zone

Want to check out some of the latest trading card games? All of the sessions run in the Trading Card Zone, which sits along the back wall of the Exhibition Building, so once you're through the doors, head across the hall past Stage Central and you'll find the session tables close together. If there's a card game you've been curious about, a Learn-to-Play session is the easiest way to try it before you buy in, with sessions running every half hour. The games available for you to learn are:

• Disney Lorcana
• Star Wars: Unlimited
• Riftbound
• Magic: the Gathering
• Neuroscape TCG

Each session runs for thirty minutes max, and a new one starts for every game on the half hour from 10.00am until 4.30pm each day. That means you can book a Disney Lorcana session at 11.00am, then sit down for Star Wars: Unlimited at 11.30am, and still have time to wander the rest of the expo!

RPG Sessions

If you'd rather roll dice than shuffle a deck, you can join one of the two-hour RPG sessions running all weekend long. These run in three blocks each day: 10.30am to 12.30pm, 12.30pm to 2.30pm and 2.30pm to 4.30pm; and there's five different adventure tables to choose from:

Dungeons & Dragons - The Summer Festival in the Oasis Town - A level-3 adventure
Dungeons & Dragons - The Vampire Warrens - A level-9 adventure
Dungeons & Dragons - Icecrown Citadel: The Lower Spire - A level-16 adventure
Cyberpunk RED - Easy Mode - An introuctory operation
Lancer RPG - Operation: Solstice Rain Mission 1 - An introductory adventure

All RPG sessions are open to new players, so you don't need any experience to sit down at those tables. Pre-generated characters and dice are supplied for every table, so you can turn up with nothing but your enthusiasm and imagination, even for the level 9 and 16 D&D adventures.

Booking Your Seat

You can reserve your spot in any of the sessions on Aftergame. Every session is free once you're inside GhMX, so all you need is an expo entry ticket, and booking ahead on Aftergame holds your seat at the table.

If you've got questions about any of the sessions before the weekend, you can ask in the Vault Discord.
