And that's a wrap on Convergence 2025!
We think it's been the best weekend of the year, and we hope all our attendees agree.

We’re at Convergence here in Hamilton NZ and our first session of the day was LEGO DnD5e! I played Tordek the Dwarf Cleric. Lots of fun!

Dungeon Trap: Let them Eat Cake. A
Room with a big table covered in cakes and tarts and pastries. Doors are locked. Eat a cake, open the door. Cakes are harmless. However every minute you don’t eat a cake, make a saving throw or turn into cake (you stop moving and look the same but now you’re cake)

Second playtest of GYRO SHOOTER was great! This time I ran a Payload/Convoy style scenario with the squad accompanying a transport out of the alien incursion zone. Note to self: need to go a little harder, they hardly got hurt. 👽

WRPG visited Mo in Auckland to run Gatsby and the Great Race and had a blast. There's gaming rooms with tables, drinks, snacks and a whole chest of dice!
We can't wait to see what goodies Mo brings down for next weekend.

Your worth isn't measured by a trophy count. The best DMs I know have zero awards but run tables that people talk about for years. Awards recognize moments, not mastery. Keep creating, keep improving, keep helping people have fun at your table.

If you already have your ticket for Convergence then you should have gotten an email over the weekend with A LOT of information in it. If you didn't get it and think you should have, check your spam box. If it's not there then let us know and we'll get the info to you.
