That Call of Cthulhu game where they brushed sand off to reveal The Necropolis map was pretty innovative. But looking at this old photo, someone did it way back in ‘85 with an off the books Temple of Elemental Evil game at GenCon.
Sadly, the DM went uncredited. Guess we’ll never know who it was.

I am en route to San Diego for #SDHistCon (@sdhistcon.bsky.social), which I think is the actual best four days in gaming regardless of what GenCon claims. Can't wait to see old friends from all corners of the historical gaming world, and hopefully make some new ones as well!

I pitched the idea for The Egg Prime Directive to @jessicamudd.bsky.social while standing in line at GenCon last year & she told me she'd read it when it was done. Now I'm having the unique pleasure of hearing her reactions as she reads the ARC, and it was SO worth the 15 month wait!

Eventually I'll get Evercold, but I have to save up for GenCon next year first.

Haven’t played at a Gundam event since GenCon, but tonight I built a deck for an NTC tomorrow. I should be playtesting it but couldn’t resist the urge to reorganize all the binders and figure out what cards we’re missing. Procrastination at its finest.. 😅

Someone did this AT GenCon during the release of PFS 6-00: Salt of the Ocean. Gave the players six potions that held memories.
One player mixes them all in a flask and downs it all at once.
I was forced to grant a hero point as the developer because I’d never seen such Pathfinder Agent behavior.

While at GenCon I had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely folks from Dragon's Milk / New Holland Brewing. They started showing off the next #dnd edition and I saw bourbon whiskey in mead casks connected to one of my favorite dragons and I knew I'd be getting a bottle!

Rowan runs Crit Kit Ltd booths at cons! Rowan is a Homie! We first met at GenCon!
Rowan picked up Pico at Gamehole Con and HAD TO Draw their Adventuring Crew! Peep the group shot with their Pico Titan, to give a sense of Scale.
Rowan is, as you might guess, "Juss The Lillest Guy" of the Crew!

I'd want to play one of the games @connievdc.bsky.social designed with @chriswarcraft.bsky.social, who is running for California State Assembly in District 72. I've briefly met Chris at GenCon and the JoCo Cruise, to receive the card game he designed (Twilight of the Gods) and one of his books.
Name someone who's on the ballot today, and a board game you want to play with them.
I want to play Pandemic with Abdul El-Sayed (MI) because he's an epidemiologist.
And Wingspan with my friend Ruth Hardy (VT Senate) because she sends me pics but we've never gotten a chance to play it together!

I think this is pretty explicitly correct, they mentioned at GenCon(? I forget) that a full adventure is basically next on the list

Ok I have applied to both Gencon's art show & makers market (since I've been rejected every time for the art show in the past so 🤞maybe something this year between the two)
I'm banking on going to CR's indy 2027 liveshow so vending at Gencon would be icing on the cake (or vice versa)
