## Resource

So, uh, Lobstercon just sold out in 90 seconds. Brad and Jay speak for the gang on this one. While we're definitely not going to apologize for being the baddest game in town, we thought we'd speak to what we learned REAL QUICK about what we could (and couldn't) do to make it a smoother experience for y'all. Postscript for clarity: We are at currently 339/320 registered due to a bug in Spicerack. Slots up to 339 will get into the event. Waitlist spots will begin filling in once drops get us below 320. leave us a shitty voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/duresscrew our shitty linktree: https:// linktr.ee/duresscrew read more about not-shitty LC here: https://sentineloldschoolmtg.com/2025/11/09/premodern-lobstercon-2026-info-and-registration/
