February 22nd, 2020 was Great River Con, a Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) convention. Many families went and several people learned something new about DnD. There were a couple of student vendors selling things that they had made themselves. Gameplay included students DMing (dungeon mastering) one-offs and a person from Make a Scene hosting some Live Action Role Playing during the gaming portion of the Convention. We had Ricardo McCurley talk about DMing for kids 10 and younger, and how that usually ended in chaos and how to embrace that chaos. We also had four hosts from the podcast The Last Refuge facetime in to talk about podcasting and playing DnD for a HUGE audience. DnD Con was a lot of fun and if there is ever another one you should come.
