In February some of our Gen Con crowd went to the Outer Banks for a long weekend of gaming at Buck's place, "OBX Con." I moved home to Wisconsin this year, so we also decided to do an "ATW Con" at the new Chateau Strelow in Appleton. James, Karen, Nick, and Rob came.
Here are Nick, Rob, and James playing D&D.
For board games, Return to Dark Tower and Dune Imperium were the main events, but to wind down in the evenings we also played a lot of Star Realms, Jabba's Palace, Bang! The Dice Game, and Liar's Dice.
We also played a lot of D&D. Nick ran 1.5 days of his Roman-inspired homebrew campaign in the Scélan empire. Here's his nice map of the party's home base town, Mare Nostrum.
I also ran a D&D one-shot, Gregor the Naturalist's Marvelous Wunderfauna Arkiv, in my homebrew world, Hollin.
Our meetings always include some wining and dining, and we learned the hard way that Appleton restaurants close pretty early after covid. We did several Appleton standbys like Good Company and Mary's Diner, but our big discovery was Mai's Deli and their stuffed grilled chicken wings. Here's our lunch at Thai Ginger Bistro.
