Gen Con Sunday – A Gentle Rain on Our Brilliant Ruin
This was my earliest event of the con, at 9am, and it was a bit of a struggle. This doesn’t speak well for my transition back into working life. In previous years I’ve done early morning podcast recordings, or 5k runs, though at this particular moment I’m not sure how. The game that Tom &…
