Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

As we approach the holiday season, one thing becomes abundantly clear—scheduling game days, especially for Dungeons & Dragons, can feel like a real challenge. Between family gatherings, travel plans, and the whirlwind of seasonal events, finding a consistent time for our gaming groups can be tricky. But amid the chaos, one thing remains steady: our local game stores. These community hubs have become invaluable spaces where gamers can count on a reliable place to meet, connect, and share their passion for tabletop games, no matter how hectic the season gets.

I’m incredibly grateful for all the game stores on the Central Coast that create a welcoming third space for us to gather and play. They make it easier to keep our games running smoothly, providing not just products, but a sense of continuity and connection that helps maintain our gaming community, especially during the busy holiday season.

Every November I dedicate my newsletter [Central Coast Game Community](https://open.substack.com/pub/centralcoastgamecommunity/p/holiday-newsletter) to supporting local businesses and creators. If you’re looking for local clubs, game conventions, or events, you’ll find them toward the bottom of this seasonal issue of the newsletter.

Remember to support our local game stores when you're shopping this year, they provide a lot of community support in ways we don't always see.

Happy holidays, and safe travels this week for all who are travelling.

Our Veteran Angel Tree Program is Officially Underway!

This holiday season, we are supporting over 385 veterans here on the Central Coast who are in need. We invite you to stop by one of our participating locations to pick up a tag and make a difference in their lives.

The process is simple:
 1. Choose a tag with a veteran’s wish.
 2. Purchase the items listed on the tag.
 3. Return the unwrapped items to the location where you picked up the tag.

This year, we’ve seen a 33% increase in requests for help, and we need your support more than ever. Your generosity will bring joy and comfort to the veterans who have given so much for our country. Together, we can ensure that every veteran feels the warmth and care they deserve this holiday season.

Thank you for making this holiday season brighter for our heroes. 🇺🇸🎄
