  • Seven More Days until the Weekend of Games

    Seven More Days until the Weekend of Games

    Important message from The GodMom:

    I just got an advanced look at the Program Book for this year’s Weekend (one of the perks of being Staff). I am amazed at the variety of games and the number of different game runners.

    There really is something for everyone. We’ve got games for kids (run by kids, too!). Omaha’s own Marcus Ross will be sharing his thoughts on game design. We’ve got silly card games and very serious strategic board games. There’s a Live Action Role-Playing event — and there’s my live-action Morning Walk for those of you who’d like a little exercise before settling into a chair for some serious fun. You can preview the whole schedule and claim a seat for the games you want at Schedule for Nuke-Con 2023.

    Seven More Days until the Weekend of Games. I’ll see you next week — and don’t forget to bring a friend!
