One More Sleep ‘Til TTRPG Pickup Con XX!
An Appeal:
Hey friends, this is a huge month for us and I think this community has it in us to grow the event here in the eleventh hour. Check out the enormous number of games with spots still open. I want to encourage each of you to share the event with someone who you think will be interested in one of our games.
Some of these games won’t be able to run unless more folks sign up. So, the time to get out the word is now.
What’s Still Available to Play?
I’m glad you’ve asked. These links will take you straight to the registration page for a specific game. There’s a lot of choice available still. So, please take this as a call to action to tell your friend who might have missed our other posts.

I would like to take a moment here to acknowledge that I am running a game this weekend which takes place in a fictional Chernobyl, best by eldritch monsters. The home of the real Chernobyl is experiencing a very real invasion.
You don't need me to tell you about the war that has dominated our news coverage over the past few weeks. What you do need to know is that my intention is for this game to pay respectful homage to the spirit of Ukraine through a sweet story of courage.
I am also personally donating to assist Polish relief efforts through an Eastern European crowdfunding site which comes well recommended and has been adding regular updates on how they are spending the money they've raised.
