Photo Essay: A Season for Gaming

Posted by Editor | Jan 18, 2017 |

The Midwinter event has grown in popularity over the past 17 years to offer a full gaming convention experience in Milwaukee every January.

From custom combat gaming (CCG) to role-playing games (RPG), to table-top miniatures, and other trends in gaming, the Midwinter Gaming Convention has become a destination for publishers and fans who want to put down screens and pick up dice.
