I haven’t been back to Gamehole Con since COVID, and I’m super excited that I get to go this year!
If you don’t have the chance to join me in Madison, you can also find me at these other upcoming appearances:
UPCOMING CONVENTIONS ArneCon 3 – Minneapolis, MN – October 10-12, 2025 Gamehole Con – Madison, WI – Oct 16-19, 2025 GM Academy @ Tower Games – Minneapolis, MN – Nov 15, 2025 Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo – Oaks, PA – Jan 15-18, 2026 DaveCon – Minneapolis, MN – April 24-26, 2026
In this episode of the RPG series of the Game Design Round Table, hosts Dirk Knemeyer and David Heron are joined by Justin Alexander , a renowned game designer and thought leader in tabletop RPGs. Known for his influential essays and innovative GM techniques, Justin shares insights into the role of the Game Master as designer. They dive into how GMs can connect narrative ideas to mechanics, the philosophies behind crafting memorable RPG experiences, and the challenges new GMs often face. Whether you’re building worlds or running them, this episode offers practical tools and deep design wisdom.
Later this month I’ve been invited to appear as Special Guest at ArneCon 3 in Minneapolis, MN. I’ll be GMing two sessions of Mothership:
Friday, October 10th @ 6pm – Mothership! Saturday, October 11th @ 1pm – Mothership!
And also hosting a live session of Random GM Tips!
Random GM Tips – Sunday, October 12th @ 10am
Arnecon is a dedicated to the memory and legacy of Dave Arneson, the creator of the modern roleplaying game. It’s truly an honor to be invited to join this convention!

If you’ve been looking for a way to support the Alexandrian without using Patreon — or if you just want your support to be focused on producing more (and better!) Youtube videos — then you should become a Member of the Alexandrian Youtube channel.
I’m launching our membership program today. In addition to loyalty badges, emotes, and Alexandrian Discord+ access, once we have 30 members we’ll begin producing member-exclusive Youtube Shorts. At 100 members, we’ll begin producing full-length members-only videos, starting with the completion of the long-awaited D&D 1974 retrospective series.
Projects like this are, in fact, exactly why I’ve decided to start a Youtube Membership program. There are a lot of cool Youtube projects I want to tackle, but which are prohibitively complicated and expensive. To make them a reality, I need to be able to expand how many hours per month my team can dedicate to Alexandrian videos.
For just $5 a month, you can become an Alexandrite and get all the benefits above. Producers willing to chip in $20 per month will get extra perks, including onscreen credit in the videos and early access to new videos.
Next spring I will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime as the featured GM for RPG IN THE JUNGLE.
RPG in the Jungle is a five-day, 20+ hour tabletop adventure at Citadel Fury, the world’s only hand-sculpted gaming fortress in the heart of Peru. Nestled in this untamed paradise, beneath emerald canopies, I’ll be running a full campaign in the greatest game room on Earth.
This is an all-inclusive, seven-day event including action-packed RPG gaming sessions (run by me!), jungle bungalow accommodations, buffet-style gourmet meals, and incredible activities at the Pueblo Colorado sculpture resort!
Although I’ve run convention games and even featured GMing events in the past, I’ve never done anything like RPG in the Jungle! I’m incredibly excited to go on this adventure with you!
