This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

1:  grodog's GaryCon XVII and Greyhawk News reports!

My GaryCon summary and latest Greyhawk News reports are now posted at https://grodog.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-grodog-thither-and-hither-and-points-between.html

As always, GaryCon was a fun time, made even more fun by gaming with and visiting many friends and colleagues there!

2:  A new post in my blog that's a mixture of campaign-update and some noodlings on Pholtus:

You're quite welcome!

GaryCon is great fun, but if you're looking for a smaller-scale con where you can play games alongside TSR designers, the I highly-recommend the North Texas RPGCon (June each year in Dallas, TX).

I should go to that one too. I need to get out more as I am getting into more things to shill.

This may sound like an odd question but is there room for new people to attend GaryCon?   I thought I remembered seeing a blog post a couple years ago saying that it's pretty much sold out every year and folks who attended the convention in the past get priority for tickets in subsequent years (though I don't know if that's some sort of VIG level or just normal entry).

Today I was sent a video about a GaryCon panel and it is so weird that I now am thinking of not going.

I am kind of weirded out by Yochai Gal. He seems a bit arrogant here and has an attitude like he is a major mover and shaker in the OSR? Maybe I am missing something, first Cairn was a bit like ephemera and I have no interest in the 2nd incarnation. Could just be me, I am not seeing his importance over dozens of other small publishers.
