Our annual charity convention Hoop & Stick kicks off in just a few days. Hoop & Stick is not only our favorite convention of the year (admittedly, we may be biased), it also marks the start of a busy season on the convention trail.

Ravenwood Castle and The Malted Meeple will be hitting the road and visiting a lot of great game conventions. If you’re in the area and have an opening in your calendar, we strongly recommend these shows – they’re all a great time!
