Gem City Mayssacre 2024

On Sunday May 19th, we had 17 players come back to Epic Loot in Centerville OH for the 2024 edition of the Gem City Mayssacre.  

First I want to give a very grateful thank you to Scott Sallee for all the really fun promotional posts he wrote up before and after the event.  He turned the entire thing into a story.  You can check them out in the Facebook Event.

Of course I tried to get pictures of everything.
Front Row: Grace Patterson, Ernie Dichiara, Dariusz Bienkowski, Nathanial Johnson, Felix Castro (ringer/assistant), Marshall Temple, Matthew Temple.  
Back Row:  Ben Kinne, Jon Carter, Steven del la Garza, Adam Kinne, Erich Trowbridge, Steve Malone, Cyle Pool, Jeff Franz, Paul Cravo, Scott Sallee, Jimmy Livers.

I was able to get almost everything set up in the store on Saturday night.


So that we were ready to get started on Sunday morning.
