'''Fastaval''' is an annual gaming convention in Aarhus [[Denmark]] with newly written/designed tabletop roleplay games, freeform games and larps. There is also a large selection of board games, miniature wargaming and collectible card games. It's been held every year since [[1986]] except [[1988]].
Every extended Easter weekend 400-700 people of all ages gather to play all kinds of games and meet old friends. Since the first Fastaval in 1986, Fastaval has established itself as one of the most important cons for role-playing in Denmark, Scandinavia, even the world. It is a creative melting-pot for new ideas for games of any kind, as well as the a place to enjoy more traditional gaming experiences.
Fastaval is famous for the Otto Award that . This award is handed out in several categories to the best of the more than 30 scenarios that created each year for Fastaval. Scenarios are created vetted and selected for play at Fastaval. The games are read and judged for the Ottos by a group of experienced gamewrights of a variety of interests and backgrounds, as well as player participants during Fastaval.
In addition to role-playing games, boardgames, card games and workshops, there is also a nice cafe with espresso and special beers, a bar, an alcohol-free youth lounge, and much more.
==Fastaval Freeform==
Because of Fastaval's size the scenarios started being written down so that the same scenarios could be played by multiple groups at the same time.
By writing down the scenarios other game designers could easily learn from previous Fastaval games and with the help of a prize for the best written scenarios (the Otto) the Fastaval scenarios developed into a genre of roleplaying games in it's its own right.
