It’s almost that most wonderful time of the year, and no, I’m not talking about Christmas; I’m talking about the annual Origins Game Fair that happens in Columbus, Ohio. Due to all of the crazy stuff that’s happened this past year and a half, Origins has been pushed from its usual summer dates of early to mid June to the end of Sept/beginning of October this year. Those of us at USP local to Columbus usually find ourselves at the convention whenever it happens; it’s basically in our backyard as it were.

For those who don’t know, Origins is a gaming convention that spotlights all the hobby has to offer; TTRPG, Board Games, CCG, Miniatures, you name it, Origins likely has it. It’s not quite GenCon size (for which I am eternally thankful; the horror stories I’ve heard), so it has a bit more of that easy going feel. There’s a plethora of interesting games being run, a large indie gaming presence, different industry panels and a whole lot more. For myself, I’ve been going since 2008; what started as just a day trip on a Saturday has turned into a yearly gaming vacation. I started running games in 2016, starting with my Cartoon Universe Fate games. Up until then, I’d not done any public GMing for a number of years, not since I had stopped running 4th Edition Legend of the Five Rings at my local gaming shop. Being around so many unique ideas finally brought my creativity to the forefront and emboldend me to run my games at the convention. So far, it hasn’t disappointed.

The three A-migos (Aaron, Alex and myself) will all be running games at this year’s convention, as long as it still occurs in person (as of this blog everything is still a go). If you’d like to play in a game run by us, I’ve listed down the event numbers, game titles, system, type of game and date offered below by GM. We’d love to see you in person, and have you sit in at one of our tables.
