Gaming professionals and enthusiasts came together last night for a networking night! Thank you to everyone who came!

I had a great time bringing together video games developers, board game designers and gaming store owners. I organized this event because I felt that there's a big need for consistent meeting opportunities for games developers.

We got to share insights and ideas, talk about playtesting, and what we could do to continue to strengthen Edmonton's gaming ecosystem.

Thank you to everyone who attended! We will be doing more of these in the future!

We just wrapped up our latest D&D event at Wafflebird! It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with the owners, Jon and Adam, on this project.

The two talented chefs developed a special menu to suit our spooky Slavic-inspired adventure! We also couldn't have done this without the amazing game design of Blik and Stilty Games who wrote the adventure for us.

We had a great time, so thank you to all the players, gamemasters and partners who made this event truly special and unique!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of running two EPIC D&D games at Edmonton EXPO! We are so grateful for the passion and excitement of our players, who create those special moments that our gamemasters will talk about for weeks after the event ends.

The Saturday was especially memorable as we were paid a visit by some very special guests. Jason Spisak, (Silco from Arcane) Mick Wingert (Heimerdinger from Arcane), Faye Mata (Jade from Honkai Star Rail) and Tommy Gofton (designer for Crooked Moon) jumped into the fray to roll dice with us! Thank you again to the amazing team at Edmonton EXPO for giving us that chance to play at your show!
