#SDHistCon was as great as ever this year. Flying home today after an incredibly enriching experience. I’m always grateful for the opportunity to meet new people, to see old friends, and especially to check out all the cool games people have in the works! Thanks to @sdhistcon.bsky.social as always!

Last day of SDHistcon is underway. I just completed a fun training scenario of Churchill. I was Stalin. The Axis surrendered at the end, denying me a victory. (The scoring system takes too long to explain here.) Excellent game, my first play with 3 players.

At #SDHISTCON, @wehrlegig.games led a game of "John Company" where people played as teams and wrote letters back and forth from India. The letters are absolute gold. I AM ROLLING! 🪙 😂

My SDHistcon Sunday opened far too early with a bucket list game—John Company 2nd ed. with a full table of 6 players. 1710 scenario. The Company failed at the last minute due to a blackmail card tanking a vital trade. Excellent, excellent game, @colewehrle.bsky.social!

Finished SDHistcon for tonight with a couple quick hands of Fellowship Of The Ring: The Trick-Taking Game, cooperatively with @andrewbucholtz.bsky.social and one other. Nice cozy way to end the day’s gaming.

Started SDHistcon today with another @fortcircle.bsky.social upcing title, First Monday In October. Brain-burnery historical action, very interesting with lots of ways to influence the Supreme Court.

My first game of SDHistcon is in the books. My flying reptiles finished in 3rd place behind Kai’s cephalopods and first-time player Gene’s mighty fish.

Everyone from TSA at the airport today, as I travel to San Diego for SDHistcon, has been pleasant, efficient and professional. No way I would be any of those if I were working in a shutdown.
We’re flying today and this is just a gentle reminder to thank the TSA
they’re working without pay and it’s a tough job
