SOLD OUT ALL DAYS said the signs. I don’t know what the stats say, but I’d say GenCon was completely back to, if not surpassing, the pre-COVID levels of the convention. GenCon was in full force in 2024, and I love it. It’s still everything it’s cracked up to be, and a bucket list item …

I remember back when you could, you know, walk down the aisles and see the booths without throngs of people crowding …

All comments are Aaron’s, I’ll make my own below each set. 80-71 #80. Jolee Bindo & Juhani [#76] A poorly designed relic. #79. General Hux [#77] Meh. #78. Durge [#75] Functional …
The night is at its darkest, and you can hear every leaf that crunches under your hastily mended boots. Impossible creatures of the night are watching. You feel a hot breath on your neck and then fur brushing across your back. Hesitation sets in as it starts to rain… The follow up project to Fearsome …
As frequently mentioned, we’re having some fun Epic Duels conversations over at the Discord. The latest is Darth Wolverine (Aaron) ranking all 80 Geektopia decks!
