Another Gen Con in the books. The crowds were as thick as ever, but
the overall energy felt a bit more subdued this year. Still, there were
plenty of solid games to discover and enjoy—even if nothing sparked a
mad dash to grab the latest release. We spent much of our time
connecting with publishers, hoping to gather insights and highlights to
help our listeners spend wisely. And of course, Gen Con wouldn’t be
complete without a few surprises—Slam Throne and Battle for Hoth
definitely caught our attention in the hall.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped, donated, and participated in this
year’s annual Strike Tournament. Whether you rolled dice, cheered from
the sidelines, or chipped in behind the scenes, your energy and
generosity made it all possible. The success of this event isn’t about
the two old guys running it—it’s about the incredible community that
shows up year after year. We’re grateful for every one of you who helped
make it another memorable tournament.
