What happens to your wargaming stuff after you die? In episode 4 of the Wargaming Roadtrips podcast, we’re in the car catching-up on the Dice Days event in Niagara Falls, Ontario. We drive out to a gamer’s estate sale, and discuss end-of-life planning for those with large miniatures collections.

We also mention:

We drove out to Ragnarok 4.0 in Kitchener, Ontario. The convention’s motto is “Game like the world is ending!”, so it was fitting that we spent the day hiding out in a basement.

It’s our first episode! We traveled to Flint, Michigan for the local wargaming convention, Flintcon. 

On the drive to Flint, we discussed highlights from the last time we went, including a sidetrip to Michigan Toy Soldier Company, Matt & Dan from Hobby Knockout podcast’s Battle of Hoth convention game, and Mike from Goonhammer’s Sharp Practice Chain of Command.

On the way home, we share our best bits from the day. Barn missed his naval wargame but rolled dice with Games Workshop’s Black Stone Fortress. Dan enjoyed the Battle of Hattin with the Triumph! rules. And we both put the Warmaster Revolution rules to the test.

We also discussed our appreciation for the on-site catering, and the fundraising raffle with goodies from Warmachine, Warhammer Quest, BloodBowl, Star Fleet Battles, Traveller and more. And sorted through our hauls from the flea market, with the car loaded with Inquisitor magazines, GorkaMorka Gubbinz, vintage RAFM, and WW1 Americans from Great War Miniatures.

Being our first time recording a podcast, there’s a couple speedbumps along the way. Subscribe via Podbean and join us for the next trip.
