While we await the start of season 5, enjoy a compilation of every game played of Designers and Dragons from Season 2. Designers and Dragons was a designer toy centric take on Dungeons and Dragons. Skinner and his evil horde of mercenaries had taken over the Pasadena Convention Center and threatened the demise of DesignerCon. George, Carlos East, along with guest players Kris Butiong and Colus Havenga embark on a strange adventure to stop Skinner and save DCon. 

It took us a minute, but the gang finally gets together to do a recap of Designer Con 2019. We discuss our experiences, favorite toy sightings, fun moments, and more.
