I always love GenCon, but this year was different from all the years before because I now take game pitches. Here is what I learned. youtu.be/I046P3P35WI

Welp, that's a wrap. Buried Giant Studios has just finished its #GenCon2026 debut. What a wild ride it was. I hardly had time to post during the show, but I wanted to jot something down now. 🧵
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our booth at Gen Con! 🎲❤️ Your enthusiasm, conversations, and support made the show unforgettable. We’re thrilled by the amazing response to our new games: The Glasgow Train Robbery, Queen of Spies, and Battle of the Divas! See you next year!
By far the game I saw at GenCon that I’m most excited about is @leder.games upcoming design from Alita Robertson called Kart. It looks beautiful, and the gameplay sounds smooth and fun. Was super cool to have Alita give me an overview.
When things succeed you celebrate it with the people you love. I am really honored to be among such great people as we move Leder Games into the future. Seeing their hard work pay off at Gen Con has been just lovely.
This month marks the tenth anniversary of Hollandspiele, which started taking orders for a reprint of Brian Train's The Scheldt Campaign on August 16, 2016. We have in that time released 122 games, expansions, and freebies - 64 of them my own designs. What a beautiful gift this life & work is.

SD Hist North was a smashing success! As an experiment, I ran two jumbo demonstrations of Penitent with two teams of reformers divided by a screen. It delivered an entirely different experience and the feedback from players was overwhelming. Such a proud moment!
