The Michigan Gaming website+ as prizes they are raffling off 2 4-day passes to GenCon! Map is there if you scroll down.
They also have a WinterCon at Oakland University- I’ll be there also.
Also U-M Con, SpartyCon- all good local events + all the out of town events listed!
I live in Oceanside and have a son who is 12 who would be interested in getting together sometime to play. I could host a game w/him or without him. Let me know if you’re interested?
