Posted on 2015 November 25 by njwNovember 25, 2015

JOFCon, part 1: Building better cons

Posted on 2015 November 11 by njwNovember 24, 2015

About a month ago, there was a tiny little con here in the Twin Cities called JOFCon. “JOF” stands for “journeyfen of fandom”. It’s a knowing take-off of the term “SMOF”, for “Secret Masters of Fandom”. SMOFs are (at least … Continue reading →

Another cool FLGS: Dungeons End

Posted on 2014 July 1 by njwJuly 1, 2014

On my way through Duluth yesterday, I stopped at an FLGS I’d heard of: Dungeons End. (No apostrophe.) Seems like the Duluth area has several FLGSs; I think I decided to check this one out more or less at random. … Continue reading →

THAC0 on YouTube

Posted on 2014 April 27 by njwApril 27, 2014
