kimu<p>I didn’t bother sharing my monthly <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a> play stats for a few months because, phew, game playing was sparse around here this spring. With the end of the school year though, we’re back at it! Went on a minor (?) obsession with the classic games 7 Wonders and 7 Wonders Duel this month. May also featured registering for GenCon events! We got zero of our RPG top picks &amp; had to pivot to board games events, which I’m not mad about. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TabletopGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TabletopGames</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BGStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BGStats</span></a></p>
Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐<p>I also need a new <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/toolbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toolbox</span></a> just for <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycle</span></a> specialty tools, now that I am car-free. Maybe I can repurpose one of my old Rubbermaid boxes.</p><p>The oldest one of those I have is full of miscellaneous stuff that I refuse to get rid of just out of nostalgia, like it has the hardware for the d8 Magazine <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a> exhibit booth from 1995. <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>
endeavorance 🕊️<p>I've had a few questions about if I'm going to GenCon this year.</p><p>Last year, GenCon buckled under pressure from Zionist attacks on the CRIT Awards staff and event. Afterwards, many creators—myself included—made it clear that would be our last GenCon until something major changed.</p><p>🧵 </p><p><a href="https://astral.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a></p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>My flight just got delayed more. I'm temporarily stranded in Indy for a few hours. If any of y'all are here give me a holler. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a></p>

Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>Last day of <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a>. My kids and their partners are joining me. I also have a Tales of Xadia event that I'm playing in. It's going to be a good day.</p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>I'm at the dance night at <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a> because I spent my 20s and 30s in clubs and because of course.</p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>Played a 2-hour Games on Demand session of Death in Space. It was a lot of fun. This was by far my funnest day at <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a> so far. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpg</span></a></p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>The Last Caravan was amazing. I played the Good Boi—a mastiff/lab mix who looks exactly like a huge Labrador. There was great family drama from the other characters, and a high tension shootout as we tried to escape some alien troops that tracked a device we came into possession of.

Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>Tales of Xadia in Games on Demand was awesome. Four elves tried to get an elf that a human librarian was convinced was trying to steal something out of her library. They caught the elf, Somma, but also convinced the librarian, Banaree, that she was being an awful racist toward elves. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Gencon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gencon</span></a></p>
endeavorance 🕊️<p>Heading home tomorrow morning, a bit earlier than originally planned. All is well, and it's been such a blast to see folks and meet people at GenCon!</p><p>Now to play the fun game of "am I getting sick or do I just need more water and sleep?"</p><p><a href="https://astral.camp/tags/gencon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gencon</span></a></p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>Okay I'm going to set up for running Tales of Xadia at the noon time slot at Games on Demand. Two hour game. It's at the Westin on the second floor. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a></p>

Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>I am parking my ass in open gaming in the Marriott in case anybody feels the urge to say hi.

Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>My phone updated all of the times in my calendar from PST to EST so I missed The Hollows because the time was wrong. I dropped by the RRD room and they were nice enough to give me the quickstart and a prototype token. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenCon</span></a> customer support took pity on me and refunded the event ticket.</p>
