I watched as much as I could when you were live. Looks like a great event, and you had a whole load of prizes to give out. Very impressive, gents. :bigthumb:

On-Site Origins 2023 ~ Above The Convention
Last year, we included some overhead panorama shots of the overall convention, and they were kind of cool.  This year, we went back for more, and linked up with GAMAguy Mike for some access to the overhead suites where we could take some quick pictures.

On-Site Origins 2023 ~ Exhibit Hall
We blanketed the exhibit hall in several different directions, from dedicated correspondents, to video walkthroughs, to a lot of pictures.

Thanks for the coverage; it's all been awesome!

I really want to come next year. I'm going to put that out there at home and see if I can make it happen.

Origins 2023 ~ Wargame HQ Event Report
We had 67 events on the schedule, which was our second-most ever.  Of those, all but 1 had at least one player, and more than a dozen were over-subscribed.  It was easily the most well-attended Wargame HQ since we started this back in 2014.

Origins 2023 ~ Day 1 On The Ground
For Origins Game Fest 2023, I was invited to come help out with media work for the Armchair Dragoons, and was told to go off and experience the Fest, and report back what I had done. I signed up for as much as I could, and recorded my games as follows.
