GMs - if you've submitted events, please check your schedule. We have sent quite a few submissions back with requested time changes and once that happens we cannot retrieve your original event. These messages go through Tabletop.Events to the email associated with your account.

You've got your room through our Official Room Block which means you'll be getting a copy of Worldbreakers from our Sponsor Sextant Studios. Now you need the bling!

Playmats, wooden tiles, deck boxes, oh my! Check out all the options to upgrade!

779 events and counting!

If you plan to GM there are times where table space is full so please have alternate times available when you submit.

Please also ignore the spaces field. We cannot turn it off but a space is not universal (a LARP space is not a TTRPG space is not a Board Game etc...)

Quick story...Midwinter was founded in 2000. For reasons we did not have an event in 2004. For other reasons we did not have an event in 2021. So you could say that 2024, 2025, & 2026 are ALL part of our 25th Anniversary Tour. Hmmm...that sounds like a t-shirt idea...

Which design do you like most?
