And now I have con crud from @retrogamecon.bsky.social this last weekend. Soooooo worth it! My BG3 print collected more signatures! Everyone was so kind and friendly!

A canvas print of the Baldur’s Gate 3 art with several small quotes and autographs from the actors scrawled across it.

I met the voices behind Duke Nukem and Sheogorath! I am very happy now. Or very mad. Or both! Cheese for everyone? Or bubble gum for everyone? Or both!

Was so awesome meeting such gaming legends at @retrogamecon.bsky.social.

Left is me and Jon St John, right is me and @wesjohnson.bsky.social

This kid is still smiling. Thank you from all of my heart. :)

Two awesome humans. One is a tallish ginger lad and the other is award winning voice actor Ben Starr. Both improve the world by being a part of it.

I got the wonderfully kind @timdownie.bsky.social to sign a print of this for me @retrogamecon.bsky.social this weekend. He redid it for me when the first attempt messed up due to a paper defect repelling the marker :(
Gale means so very much to me & Tim did an incredible job bringing him to life.

It was an absolute delight talking to everyone, meeting some faces I've only ever seen on the internet, and getting in touch with some new cool people!

I'm just reeling after an amazing weekend at @retrogamecon.bsky.social 🫶🏻🌟 I debuted my first ever hand-crafted #cosplay, met the actor of a character I've really loved and connected with (yay Tim Downie!!), and met some fabulous people.

Let's do it again soon! (Perhaps even next year? 😁) #BG3

Two figures posing in front of a plain blue photography backdrop. On the left is Strixxline, dressed as Gale Dekarios from Baldur's Gate 3. On the right is actor Tim Downie, who voiced Gale. They are holding an open journal together, their free hands posed by their chins as though they are pondering the book's contents.

One more day at Retro Game Con (@retrogamecon.bsky.social) and my setup of 2000s near vintage computing is still up and running. Hundreds of games await some attention.

’Twas the night before RetroGameCon, and all through the hall,
Gamers were buzzing, each fan big and small.
Controllers were charged, the cosplayers prepared,
And RetroBoy waited, his circuits all flared! 🤖

It could happen either Wednesday or Thursday, but the Saturday-only pass WILL sell out. That means you will not be able to buy Saturday-only admission at the door. It is ALSO very possible that 3-day passes will sell out before Friday.

Grab tickets now! Link at the top of our page/in our bio!

We're in the final stretch, and tickets are selling *FAST*.

While we still have a good number of 3-Day, Friday, and Sunday passes remaining, this is your warning that SATURDAY-ONLY passes are going to sell out before the con.
