Tried Vantage from @stonemaiergames.com tonight! Not sure this game is for everyone, but it's super exploration and role play vibes. Little choose your own adventure, but immersive.

Played an older game for the second game today. This is Steamworks from TMG. Worker placement contraption builder with a #Steampunk feel. Really fun!

Our 2025 Gen Con haul. Our busiest Gen Con yet! Suzanne worked for @paverson.bsky.social and Wyrd this year. Conesy ran 5 sessions of D&D for Gooey Cube.

It was exhausting. It was work. It was amazing. Till next year!
