Guess what? Besides the cool seminars/talks and seeing the local sights I also played some GAMES at @sdhistcon.bsky.social . As befits this unique event, the titles reflect new directions in “wargaming,” as well as older precursors of the same. History Games!

More than anything, I am grateful for the welcoming nature of the community @sdhistcon.bsky.social has built. I am relatively new to the historical gaming space, but I have been greeted with open arms and encouraged to pursue design and included in all kinds of interesting discussions.

And now that I've had a decent night's sleep, a more in-depth recap of my time in San Diego this past weekend at #SDHistCon. It was only my second time there, and I got even more out of it than I did the first one. This convention is consistently excellent in what it delivers.

What a great experience at @sdhistcon.bsky.social! Finally had a chance to play Cross Bronx Expressway, the John Co. Mega-Game, Bowie, Tierra y Libertad, and even run a double demo of Chicago '68...

Huge thanks to all the convention staff, players, and designers for making this happen!!
