There are other media folks here wheeling around portable TV studios that you could use to cover a sporting event

Our big upgrade this year is a tripod for the cell phone camera 🤷

Interesting discussion/presentation from Meeple Mountain today on building a content team and some processes & tools they use

Big food for thought for us for sure

Hopefully they're at least behaving themselves(?).

Per Renegade, Squad Leader news not expected until 2026
Probably just pushed back by other games that are taking off

Cool HeroScape news later this year, tho

GAMA Expo 2025 ~ Day One

Quote
This is the third year for the Armchair Dragoons at GAMA Expo, and it’s interesting to see the faces that we’re running into over multiple iterations.  While it’s normal now for the GAMA staff to recognize us after many years of working with them at Origins, it’s still a little weird when members of the GAMA Board – all of whom are industry professionals – wander over and strike up a conversation like you’re old drinking buddies.  It’s not bad, just weird.

We're about to get the boot from the Media lounge at #GAMAExpo for some sort of 'emergency' press conf

Thing is there are *some* media outlets being allowed - ICv2, BGW, & others

We probably know what it is after last night (and didn't go public about it!) but still getting 2nd-class treatment 🤷

Jason & I had some time to talk about Rodger MacGowan tonight on GAMA's live stream from the #GAMAExpo

Starts about the 38:00 minute mark

It's always cool when you can run into industry people in a crowd this size and they recognize you without having to look at your name tag

Strike up random conversations with people at #GAMAExpo, and end up with some free dice 😎

Thanks, Emberglow!

Appreciate you posting this.  I've heard his name mentioned over the years, but admittedly have never had more than a vague idea of what he's done.
