This past weekend was the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, WI, and just like every year, I made my way there with a bunch of friends. It was a bit different in some ways, though: For one, this year, I was presenting on a panel with my podcast, The JRPG Pursuit, along with my friends and co-hosts, ‪@DallahGames‬ and ‪@orbalology‬. And also, to spice things up, I gave my friends a challenge -- find me the weirdest RPG on the sales floor, and I'll buy it. Even if it's NOT an RPG, just convince me it is! Winner gets a prize.

This is a pretty different video for me, I don't plan on doing a ton of vlog-style things like this, but I hope you enjoy it!

Check out our JRPG Podcast, The JRPG Pursuit! New episodes every Wednesday, where we cover a multitude of topics related to our favorite hobby. @JRPG_Pursuit
