Good morning #GameholeCon from my last game of the weekend. The ventilation in the New Holland pavilion is working much better with this morning's smaller crowd—CO2 pretty consistently in the 600s all morning. Almost as good as being outside!
October 19, 2025 at 4:06 PM
A pleasant surprise: Contrary to my prediction yesterday, the CO2 level in the #GameholeCon vendor hall has remained fairly steady in the 1,000–1,100 ppm range. It's a great time to go shopping—and to get a signed copy of MAKING ENEMIES from Chimera Hobby Shop! I'll be here till 6 PM.
October 18, 2025 at 8:47 PM
Levels stayed in the 800s and 900s for most of the morning, so that's not too bad. That 1,300+ reading must have been a fluke.
October 18, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Weirdly, it's just dropped back down to 838 ppm. They must have just cranked up the ventilation.

Good morning, #GameholeCon!

I'm running a D&D game in the New Holland pavilion this morning, and WOW. CO2 was in the 600s when I entered half an hour ago but is already up over 1300. If you have a game over here, you may want to bring a mask.
October 18, 2025 at 2:03 PM
5:45 in the #GameholeCon vendor hall, and the CO2 level has been rising steadily since around 3:15 PM. Expect higher levels tomorrow afternoon.
October 17, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Looking for me at #GameholeCon? I'm signing books until 6 PM. Find me next to Chimera Hobby Shop in Hall A!
October 17, 2025 at 7:12 PM
Shadowdark game is done, and the CO2's been rising in the Monona Room. First reading was from our halftime break, second when we wrapped up.

I'll be signing books by Chimera's booth in Hall A from 2 to 6.
October 17, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Good morning from #GameholeCon! About to start my Shadowdark game in the Monona Room, where the air quality is excellent so far (as it has been everywhere except the Mendota atrium and surrounding rooms—might want to mask up if you're going to be spending much time there).
October 17, 2025 at 1:58 PM
We're at the halfway point of my #GameholeCon Cypher game, "Burning Bright," in which our five heroes try to solve the mystery of … the Calavazo!
October 16, 2025 at 9:11 PM
#GameholeCon air quality report: Not bad in the vendor hall, but a number like this on Thursday morning means it could get pretty high on Saturday afternoon. Will keep an eye on it.
October 16, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Good morning from #GameholeCon, the best four days of gaming in Wisconsin and neighboring states! The air in the convention center is fresh (for now), and the halls are PACKED with gaming tables. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones! But also Making Enemies. 😉)
