Golden text on a maroon frame reads first booth day at GAMA Expo! Inside the frame is an image of a grouping of squares representing convention booths. They are light green with black text. The bottom left box in the center is circled. This reads 273, Central Michigan University Press.

Maroon frame with golden text reads thanks to Lamaro Smith for stopping by! In the center of the frame is a picture of Lamaro Smith, a slim Black man with a black sweatshirt and sunglasses on top of his head, holding the game box for Hydrologic Cycle.

Maroon frame with golden text that reads stay tuned for more exciting updates from the 2026 GAMA Expo! Thanks to the TCB Games Huntington for the awesome photo op! Next to this text is a photo of a big python statue. It is curled around the head of a young woman with dark hair who is looking upwards and making a comically scared face.

First booth day at GAMA Expo 2026 was fantastic! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat, especially our friend @lamarosmith.bsky.social! (We love your art!!) More coming later this week, stay tuned! Thanks to TCB Games Huntington for the awesome photo op!

Looking forward to doing some demos of Keep the Faith by gregisonthego@bsky.social and Witch Hunt: 1649 by Martha McGill this week!

We're here!!! Booth 273, come say hello tomorrow!

Photograph of various printed paper items in mainly maroon and gold. One of the most visible is a sheet that says Visit us at Booth 273. On top of it is a folder with a black and white line print of tarot cards, with the golden logo for Central Michigan University Press as one of the top cards. On top of that folder is a set of three small cards which show art from Keep the Faith, Witch Hunt 1649, and Making History.

Here's a night-before-packing shot, this time for GAMA Expo! Special thanks to All Access Signs (learn more at the website link in our bio), CMU Printing Services, and our friends at the CMU College of Business Administration, specifically Alisha and her team! Thanks for taking us to the next level!

Thanks! We would love to share and spread the news!

Very excited that this has arrived on my doorstep and I now get to play it in-person — 364 days after I played it in a livestream with @gregisonthego.bsky.social and an amazing group of designers & nerds.

Go Greg!!!

That sounds so cool! Hope it went well!

Awesome!!!

Lovecraft Game Night was a success! Thank you so much to CMU Libraries, @chaosium.bsky.social, and Prof. Bill Wandless for making this event possible with each of your contributions!

This just in! Keep the Faith, a storytelling game about religion in transition, by @gregisonthego.bsky.social and @cmichpress.bsky.social! I talked with Greg about this game last year on the podcast: www.buzzsprout.com/2069949/epis...

Maroon text reads We're in the GAMA Expo site book! A small picture of the front of the site book is next to the text. The front of the site book has an armored mech man standing below a title that reads GAMA EXPO with its multicolored cube logo. Below the maroon text is a screenshot of a half page from a digital booklet. The half page is mostly gray with black line art, white shadows, and golden words. The biggest words read, We don't just publish games. We publish games that TEACH. The logo for Central Michigan University Press is in the lower left. The biggest line art drawing shows an older woman in a hood holding a pair of scissors.

We're closing in on the big day!!! Packages are arriving, schedules are taking shape, and we're getting excited for GAMA Expo 2026. Check out our ad in the site book -- and if you're at the Expo, come find us at Booth 273!
