Buckeye Gamers in Flight games for Origins 2018
Here is the list for the Buckeye Gamers in Flight games for Origins this June. I have broken it down by WW1, WW2, and Sails of Glory; it's also broken down by each day of the convention. In addition to these games, several members of BGiF will be running Sword and Sorcery (2 games each day of the con) and Galaxy Defender (1 game each day of the con). It promises to be a heck of a lot of gaming fun!
