Midwinter Gaming

It's Monday and we want to know...what did YOU play this weekend? Tell us of your gaming adventures and show us your pics!

The past two years we've seen great success with the Small Press/Indie Game Design Room. This room is meant to be a launch pad for Creators taking the very first steps into the con scene. We are renaming this space the Emerging Creators Room to better define the purpose & importance this room holds!

Thank you @theop.games for your continued support of our Play to Win track!

If you played any games from them this past January please share your pics!

Keep Moving Forward is a phrase we live by at Midwinter HQ.

This next week we will be meeting with The Ingleside Hotel about many things, incl. adding gaming Wed for Guests staying in the Official Room Block, Jump the Line Guests & Chamion GMs. This is currently in the works, so stay tuned!

Our Midwinter Family hails from places near and far. If someone finds themselves in your neck of the woods, what FLGS would you send them to? Tag in the comments below and share the small business love!

It's a Monday kind of Monday...lift our spirits and let us know what you played this weekend!

Keep Moving Forward is a phrase we live by at Midwinter HQ. Every year is an opportunity to better the show.

In 2027 we will have a dedicated room for Play to Win & Featured Titles. We will still offer Open Gaming in other areas, but this will be THE PLACE for Play to Win & Featured Titles.

Small Press & Indie Game Creators are a most essential part of Midwinter...who are YOU supporting? What projects need support right now? Shout them out and help boost their signal!

THANK YOU

We'll get back to our regularily scheduled posts shortly, but in the meantime save the date for Midwinter Gaming Convention - Jan 14-17th, 2027

Midwinter Family - if you have a room at the hotel in our Official Room Block, please make sure to see Midwinter HQ (aka Anne) by Convention Registration to claim your swag!

Midwinter Staff will be on-site at The Ingleside Hotel starting today. Responses to messages/posts will be slow. We can't wait to see you!

**packed u-haul courtesy of Midwinter HQ's husband. Without his help I'd be lying in the middle of the driveway, broken & partially loaded. THANK YOU BILL!**

Open Gaming will be available throughout the convention!

Please do not use the Open Gaming tables to camp out or store your personal effects. Items left at a table more than 30 minutes will be moved to the Board Game Checkout Desk so other Guests may use the space as intended.

Registration Hours:

Thurs 8:30am - 8:00pm
Fri & Sat 7:30am - 8:00pm
Sun 8:00am-2:00pm

Congratulations Paul W., YOU are our December Monthly Drawing Winner!

That's a wrap on our Monthly Drawings, congratulations to all our winners - we'll keep this tradition up going into the next year, and we can't wait to see everyone next week!

This is is...the last opportunity to be a winner in our Monthly Drawing! Every Badge is eligible to win. Every Guest has a chance!

Snag your badge and tune in tomorrow to see who our December Monthly Drawing Winner is...it might just be YOU!

9 Days Until Doors Open!

Reminder, outside food is not permitted in the convention spaces. This is part of our contract & we need to respect our partnership with the hotel.

**Outside alcohol is not allowed in the gaming spaces at ANY time, even if the bar is closed.**

[BADGE PICKUP]

To speed up badge pickup, the first hour on Thurs 1/8/26 will be reserved for Pre-Purchased Badges. We will not process payments through Convention Staff until 9:30am on 1/8/26.

This is to allow staff to concentrate on quick check in & not on running cards/cash the first hour.
