Ever since the discussions in 2013 about the behaviour of the founder Mike Krahulik and the associated inclusion issues at PAX, I have declined the (much appreciated) invites to be on panels at PAXAUS. I submitted DIYSPY to the 2019 Collaboratory however to playtest the latest festival version with the public and to speak with tabletop peers and publishers. I am also doing this to reach people like me who may be there. I will review my involvement after the experience.
