Got to game with one of my fave old school #TTRPG TSR employees, Harold Johnson today. He's my pal. They decided to surprise me and he and Turtledove both wore #Midwestgamingclassic shirts... and so did I! (I make all of our merch and always promote when I'm out)

I know Stern #pinball is now actively promoting King Kong but at this past #MidwestGamingClassic I finally got a chance to check out Dungeons and Dragons, you know, when it was the newest game 😆

Thrilled to be back at the Midwest Gaming Classic. There is so much to unpack. Special Thanks to everyone who came out this year! I had a great time.

Hey! If you used this joystick at the Midwest Gaming Classic this year, I wanna know about it! It's a prototype I designed and built, I would love to hear some feedback on how it felt to use. #mgc2025 #midwestgamingclassic

Cthulu artwork and dice.

Marble dice.

FIRST UP on my #MidwestGamingClassic con haul is this incredible Cthulu piece and a new marble dice set from @catbatart.bsky.social ! Hubby now has some spooky artwork to decorate his nerd cave and I have dice that are the perfect vibe for my rogue changeling in my current DnD campaign!

High praise from this dad/son at the Midwest Gaming Classic!

Had a great time with great people! #MidwestGamingClassic

The Game Center at the Midwest Gaming Classic. Many people seated or walking among various booths for playing classic games and new indie titles.

The Vendor Hall the Midwest Gaming Classic. Many booths with games and merchandise to buy.

Thank you to everyone who came to our booth at the #MidwestGamingClassic to follow the podcast, get some Captain Dangerous art, and submit questions for future Q&A episodes! (We had a #Kirby bowl out for those questions, and we got tons!)

We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the show!

Getting to be a Fursuitter is a space that's not directly Furry was one of the more fun experiences I've had in a while.

I got to see old friends and met friends for the first time. #MidwestGamingClassic was amazing and I hope I can do it again next year.
