About this episode
Girdy discusses recent convention cancellations and highlights positive news in the tabletop industry along with a film trailer leak.
As April draws to a close, Girdy tackles a deeply frustrating week for the events sector, marked by the sudden shutdown of WizardCon 2 and the cancellation of the 2026 London Film and Comic Con due to soaring international flight costs. The tabletop industry brings more positive news, with Free League celebrating the tenth anniversary of their acclaimed dark fantasy roleplaying game Symbaroum, alongside a deep dive into how BackerKit is challenging traditional crowdfunding norms. We also look at the leaked Coyote vs Acme trailer and highlight vital medical fundraisers for two beloved industry figures. About Audio EXP Audio EXP is Geek Native's podcast.
