I heard about that on the last day I was there from the guy running Coriolos: Dark. It sounded very cool. I think I can safely say Vaesen if my favorite iteration of Year Zero but, I haven't played Alien or Blade Runner.

I hope you tanked it in an attempt to ruin everyone else's good time.

Haha, maybe a good way to advertise this game!

'Need to be orderly and disciplined later in the day? Play Goblyn Market to get the chaos out first!'

Gunuinely great tables at the con. Nary a jackhole to be seen. What was your best game you played?

Gamehole Con Featuring role-playing games, board games, fantasy and historical miniature gaming, and collectible card games, Gamehole Con is for the fantasy and adventure tabletop gaming enthusiast.

Had a BLAST at my first #GameHoleCon!

Every table I ran for Honorbound and Goblyn Market went smoothly and more importantly, was a lot of creative fun. Every game I got to play was new to me and expertly handled.

And dealer room is always a favorite!

Bts Kpop GIF Alt: A young person wearing a blue hoodie and a yellow chin-strap safety helmet is emphatically saying "Safety first, safety second, coolness third."

Yesterday, I ran a Trophy Dark (fantasy/horror) game for strangers, which requires making sure everyone at the table feels safe before we start terrorizing their characters.

And that means safety tools.

Thought it might be worth sharing what worked.

A formless parasite that seeps in through sound. It starves in silence, but every scream feeds it, twisting space and time into a nightmare maze.

I just got to play The Mistsower from Zgrozy run by Malek Golonka on the Raspy Raven. A great mix of character interaction and eldritch horror all within the confines of a cafe hosting the revelation of a new painting!

They happen to be having a sale too!

I'm in! Haven't heard of these but they look fantastic!

I always wanted to check that one out! I read the MYTH series with my dad and has huge nostalgia vibes for me. Love it!

Some many winters ago my cool Aunt Ruth bought be Bimbos of the Death Sun and my understanding of what fun fiction could be changed forever.

What was the book that ISN'T one of the touchstones of our era that hit you just right?

Shout out to Knight of Ghosts and Shadows!

I'd love to!

I am so looking forward to seeing this!
