Brobdingnagian Bards at Dragon Con 2026 (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners

WHOOPS. I meant to post this on the Bards page. LOL

Nevertheless, I posted this video on the socials. Maybe you'll enjoy it too. :)

See you at the con.

We are gearing up for another amazing year at the largest fan-run science fiction convention. We have a bunch of shows lined up as you'll see below. You can find our table at the Marriott Marquis starting on Thursday. Marc will be there setting up the table and maybe selling a few CDs.

Can't wait to see you out there!
