Welcome to the Summer Conversations, a short series of podcasts in which I welcome a guest who brings their own topic of interest and we have a chat. The recordings are done in under one hour, barely edited, and released without fanfare.


Episode 4: Finding Your Table — Building a Gaming Club That Lasts


How do you grow a tabletop community from twenty strangers into seventy-one paying members with two regular game nights? Brian McKay joins Che to share how the Northside Adventure Gamers Association in Brisbane pulled it off — incorporating as a nonprofit, securing a permanent home in a state school library, and running tables across everything from D&D 5e to Cthulhu to Dungeon Crawl Classics. Plus: managing player flow between tables, keeping table identities intact, and why finding your own space changes everything about how people show up at the game. This one's for anyone who's dreamed of building more than just a campaign — this is about building a home for other players too.


Big thanks to Brian for coming on the show!
