The “A Weekend With Good Friends” virtual gaming convention is being held on The Good Friends of Jackson Elias Discord server and will take place the 20th-22nd of August 2021. With international participants, they’ll have games running around the clock. The main focus is CoC, however, other games are welcome! I’ve seen some Kult, Alien RPG, and more! GM Signs ups open as of the date of recording, and game sign ups occur on 8/6. It’s a well organized con and quite a bit of fun. Definitely check them out!
