Thank you.
Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Mastering Dungeons, your favorite tabletop role-playing game, D&D news and design and review podcast. I'm Sean Merwin here with Teos Abadie. Hey, Teos, how's it going?
It's going on fumes. I have been working. I don't even know what a weekend is anymore. And I drew strength from my parents who wished me a happy birthday today. And today's not my birthday. I was like, We're on the same page, parents. I don't know what month it is, year, anything. You know, I'm just barely making it through. But it was very cute. They wrote really nice things. It was super, super loving. And then they said, oh, and we, you know, because they're in Europe. So they're like, I don't know, maybe they thought I'm ahead or who knows what happened. But either way, at the end of it, they were like, oh, wait, today's not your birthday. And so we had a good laugh.
Well, happy, happy, not your birthday. Yeah. Thank you. And then happy birthday. I assume your birthday is around this time tomorrow.
Well, OK, in our in our timeline, not the listener timeline. Yeah. So, yeah. Happy birthday. Thank you. Thank you. I still think one of the best jokes you ever did was when you told everybody on Twitter that I was turning 60 when I was like 45 or something. And a lot of people really believed it, which made me feel really good about myself.
That sounds like something I'd do. That sounds like something I'd do.
Like you don't remember.
It was legendary. And yeah, I had a sad weekend last week. A friend of mine passed away. Oh, I'm so sorry, Sean. And we actually we buried him on his birthday, which was a couple of days ago, which is odd, but also sort of fitting. And this was the first time when someone who I was really close with growing up, who was one of the probably three people responsible for me getting into D&D, was a great DM, was a great storyteller. I would not be sitting here today for sure if it weren't for Steve. So my hat's off to Steve. Good luck. And for all of you out there, you know, appreciate the people who you share this hobby with because it's a very passionate thing for a lot of us. And so, yeah, that's all I had to say about that.
Big hugs, my friend. Thank you. Yeah, it's tough. This is one of the things that... You have to somehow hit a certain age to really appreciate what it's like to to to either know you're on the threshold of that because you hear it through others or to start experiencing it. And it is it's tough. And all you can do is treasure every moment you have with people around you because it is so important. It's what makes life great. Right.
Exactly. Exactly. What also makes life great are our listeners who listen to us and appreciate, most of them appreciate what we do. And if there are any hate listeners out there, thank you. We appreciate your attention as well. But we also get messages from them via various channels. And we're going to go through a couple of those today, starting with Thomas Connolly via our Patreon. He said, all the con news got me thinking about my convention bucket list and how to prioritize them. I want to rank all the D&D gaming conventions by number of Adventurers League opportunities. I've heard things like X tables or YDMs or Z slots, but I can't find any documented numbers. It seems like you guys might have at least some impressions, if not the actual numbers.
Can you rank the top cons by AL opportunities for me? And this is an interesting question because yes, definitely ranking it by here are the number of opportunities you'd have to play is one thing, but you can only play one game at a time. So to say Gen Con, to say, well, yes, to say Gen Con, which say runs eight slots, is better than your local home group that runs eight slots but only has two tables is a better AL opportunity is not necessarily true. Now, the special events may tip the scale, right? Gen Con may have a bunch of special events that your local game convention might not. But some of my favorite organized play conventions over the years have been the small ones where I can sit down,
