We're making them annually at the request of WotC, so as long as they keep hiring us, we'll keep going down the list!

It's nothing fancy. A $10 Amazon flash tripod and a couple of pieces of PVC pipe zip tied to it. I made it to be easily transported to a con, but it would look kinda hodgepodge in a house
