Episode 23: Aaron DeMaster of Strong Tower Gamers

Aaron DeMaster of the Strong Tower Gamers group and Gaming Convention

It’s been too long, but Clark is back with Episode 23! This episode he reaches just slightly beyond the confines of Chicago and up to our neighbors in Wisconsin. There he finds Aaron DeMaster of the strong Tower Gamers group and Gaming Convention.

Aaron talks about growing up in Wisconsin, catching the gaming bug and what led him and his friends to establish the Strong Tower Gamers group and start the Strong Tower Gaming Convention.

Clark also asks Aaron about setting up a brand new gaming convention and trying to find an identity and audience for the weekend, raising money for a new convention, planning events, and how the group’s Christian values inform the weekend and their desire for inclusiveness while staying in the background of the convention.

Finally, Aaron answers the minigame questionnaire and Clark finds a kindred spirit… in gaming beverages!
