About this listen

The Daddies are back from Philadelphia—sleep-deprived, over-caffeinated, and somehow still arguing about bathroom schedules. In this special convention episode, Andrew, Jason, and Jacob unpack their weekend at PAX Unplugged 2025: the games they played, the queer-friendly spaces they loved, and why board-game conventions mean so much to this community.

Expect history, hilarity, and heart as the Daddies trace the roots of gaming cons from Gary Gygax’s first Gen Con to today’s global gatherings like Essen Spiel. They share favorite demos, con tips, fangirl moments, and reflections on representation—from Tabletop Gaymers ribbons to the inclusive spirit of PAX Together.

🎲 Highlights:

  • The chaotic charm of “A Quickie with Jason”
  • The origin story of modern board-game conventions
  • PAX Unplugged 2025 recap: Magical Athlete, River of Gold, and SETI
  • Why queer visibility at cons matters more than ever

Roll with pride, laugh with the Daddies, and relive a weekend where everyone found their table. 🎧 Next episode: SETI — Signals, Aliens, and Daddy Issues.
