Welcome Back to the Table! This week Arcadia and Malcolm sit down for some Convention talk. We share a discussion about Arcadia’s recent attendance at the ALA (American Library Association) Annual Conference & Exhibition in Chicago IL. Arcadia got a wonderful look into some of the people and initiatives that are leveraging TTRPG tools, strategy and access to bring value to libraries and their patrons across the world. She introduces me to Lex Lower of Common Quest Creative whose work in TTRPG inclusion, reformatting and education is truly inspiring. Arcadia also gives time to the National Games and Libraries Project, a national research initiative dedicated to exploration and quantification of the benefits of access to games in library settings. After the break, Malcolm gets the fun job…the big announcement. Malcolm and Arcadia will be working the Odd Fish Games booth 720 at this year’s GenCon. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to help bring some of the amazing products and games this business will have on display to convention goers. He also can’t help the shameless plug of the new game premiering at GenCon by Dr. Christina Stiso and Odd Fish Games, Leviathan Rising. Make sure you find “Welcome to Leviathan” on your Gen Con schedule and witness this exciting new game yourself. Then GET RIGHT BACK to Booth 720 and say hi to us!

Welcome Back to the Table! This week Jess joins Arcadia and Malcolm for a discussion about travel. The crew shares stories of how getting out and seeing the world can bring huge inspiration to the games at your table. Arcadia discusses the beauty and history of Bordeaux where on a recent trips she found inspiration in all places for her games. From the people to wine culture and the ancient architecture, she found a fountain of sights, steps and tastes to add flavor to characters, game play and world building. After the break Jess discusses the surprising places she found inspiration through travel. She digs into the mixes of ages of architecture in modern cities and regales with a tale of a Roman basement with a shitty history leaving a pristine historical site. From exotic locales to road trips across your own state, getting out and seeing the world, can have great effects at your table.

Welcome Back to the Table! This week Tori leads Arcadia and Malcolm through a conversation on the emerging data and discussions on mental health applications for TTRPG’s. More research and study in using these games as vessels for skill building, alternative social redirection, therapeutic exploration is happening now than ever before and the FA team brings some of the stories and numbers that support our belief in the potential of our community and hobby in serious healing. After a break, we take a look at a less lauded but no less important day of the annual GenCon event. Since 2023 the Wednesday before the Exhibit halls open for GenCon, a Trade Day bring together professionals, educators, retailers, speakers and more in the adjacent industries that TTRPG’s flourish. A stage of B2B building as well as educational and therapeutic innovations to be brought to market, we shine light on the power of this part of GenCon.
