The face you make when you roll a Nat 20 going full murder hobo #CVG2026 @arifskinchen.bsky.social @jrdawson.bsky.social (Photo by Peter Huynh, caption by @kbdekker.bsky.social)

Sitting at a table, we have Catero Colbert (a Black man with a goatee), Arif S. Kinchen (a Black man with a white beard and a yellow and white trucker hat), and JR Dawson (a white person with a blue ponytail), all holding microphones and with water bottles and other gaming detritus on the table. Arif has a wide-eyed, wild look on his face.

Nur-D's show is coming in less than an hour on Mainstage!!! Be there and be Outside (in here) tonight!! #CVG2026 @nurdrocks.bsky.social

Nur-D (a Black man in a T-shirt and pixelated glasses) stands in front of the stage with his Guest Liaison, Kyle Dekker (a white man in a black T-shirt as well with red hair and beard), waiting for the stage to be set up.

Kyle has his hands behind his head, because it's been a long (and amazing) weekend.

You can do whatever you want with your 500 cards: give to friends and family, tempt a dragon for its hoard, whatever floats your board. These are actual, real, official limited edition Munchkin cards.

Oh!! I forgot to post these absolutely amazing pictures of our GOH Jules Porter in her Afro-futuristic outfit!! If you're ever a GOH at @convergencecon.bsky.social, you don't need to be professional! Wear what you want, and we encourage outfits like this! #CVG2025

Jules Porter, a Black woman with short hair, in a gold and black Afrofuturistic costume. She has gold rings around her neck and a giant gold triangle image on her chest. There's also a spiderweb sort of piece on her head, and goggles around her neck

Jules Porter, a Black woman with short hair, in the same Afrofuturistic costume from the previous picture, with a lot of gold accents, but the goggles are on her eyes now. They're blue-green and the lenses seem faceted.
