So as an update, the tornado warning was canceled at approximately 6:15 Everyone is fine as far as we can tell there were no injuries, the leaks in the roof from the video I posted previously has caused significant damage to multiple exhibitors both in the mini hall and in the exhibitor venue.
So this is fun. First it started raining inside the convention hall., and then a tornado warning triggered I’ll attend. These are sheltering in place inside the convention hall where it is not raining indoors., your arbiters are safe more to come 
While waiting tonrecord this afternoon, I will be teaching people how to play @battletech.bsky.social at #Gencon so find me in the minis hall. As a hint, look for the schmuck with the pink paw print on his shirt sleeve

Question: How many people hating on #SuperGirl just wanted the character to progress right to Power Girl with the huge titties and they Keyhole over them?
@bigred40tech.bsky.social gives a great editorial on MechCommander, and the need for it's existence for the #Battletech digital experience to continue. I also need to encourage people who have sat on the sidelines to check out #MechWarrior 5 Clans
