We are not quite done for the year, but here is a special post for everyone. Here are the pictures of the memorial board, and all of the names that were placed upon it.
I’m playing D&D with DM Todd Kenreck and my bud Chris P from Titmouse. Then it’s the Search for Gaxmoor with Jason Charles Miller and an All Star cast playing their final session ... or is it? Somehow I think we might see some more

Jason Charles Miller gave an unforgettable unplugged concert in the lobby bar.
Our biggest regret from this year’s convention was that we didn’t have time to get
@JMaddalina
to sign our copy of Mystic Libations which she illustrated.
@ToddStashwick
@VividVivka
and
@AdriosaGaming
are Gary Con regulars, but they are so talented, that they are in demand at every event they attend. You can see them in just over a week at Gen Con () or on Gen Con TV ().
First there was Gen Con. While we style
@GaryCon
as the heart of TTRPGs and TTRPG conferences, it is that because of the celebration of lives well played and because of the intimate nature of the convention. Gen Con however is the grandaddy of them all.
Please see the post on our website about best practices to mitigate risks of communicable respiratory diseases while attending Gary Con XII. Let’s all look out for each other, be safe, healthy and have fun celebrating a life well-player.
