Gearing Up for KublaCon 2025

As I write this (Sunday, May 18th), KublaCon 2025 is just a few days away and I could not be more excited! 😲

Over the weekend, I finished sorting and packing everything I'm going to need to run my two games (The Sixth Gun on Friday afternoon and Pathfinder® for Savage Worlds for Savage Saturday Night) as well as additional items for a private, friends-only Dungeon Crawl Classics game I'll be running Thursday evening before the con officially begins!

This year, due to my work situation (or lack thereof) as well as my commitment to a few other planned trips, I've had to cancel plans for Gen Con. While that decision has stung a bit, KublaCon is my must-attend annual west coast convention and I cannot wait.

The journey begins at 7am Thursday morning when my friend Mike and I meet up to hit the road for Burlingame, California. The hotel itself (the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport) is about 360 miles north, so the road trip can take us upwards of six hours total to get there. We do break things up with a stop for breakfast (typically IHOP or Denny's) and gas, often rolling into the parking garage around lunchtime.

Once there, we're normally able to check in early, then we unload the car, and then decide on lunch, either heading into Burlingame or walking to Max's just down the road.

After that, we start meeting up with friends back at the hotel, and if we have a game arranged (and a space in which to play it), we dive into that around 5ish, breaking to pick up our badges as registration is open between 6pm and 8pm.

The next morning, the con officially begins with a few scheduled events starting at 11am and registration officially opening at Noon.

KublaCon is an incredibly fun and very friendly event that is well worth your time. It has been going on for a while now and each year, it seems to get better and better. More events, better exhibitors, and more enthusiastic attendees.

If you've never made the trip out, I urge you to consider it some year.

For those attending KublaCon 2025 THIS YEAR, I'll see you all later this week!

"Kublaaaaaa!!!"
