The convention in 2005 cost $20,000 and rose to $50,000+ in 2009. The convention in 2013 had content from the South Texas Underground Film Festival. In 2014 a cosplay fundraiser walk was held to support the Coastal Bend Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). The convention again supported CASA in 2015. RealmsCon had free outdoor events in 2018. RealmsCon 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. RealmsCon went on hiatus starting in 2022.
