This week we're joined by Tim Heck of Alkem Gear to discuss a new line of gaming-focused bags designed specifically for tabletop gamers. From dedicated deck storage and playmat solutions to laptop compartments, dice trays, and travel-friendly organization, these products were built by players who understand exactly what tournament travel looks like. In this episode we discuss: • Why most backpacks fail card gamers • Designing around trading cards and gaming accessories • The Journeyman and larger backpack systems • Dedicated deck storage and "Vault" compartments • Playmat cases, dice trays, and accessory systems • Airport travel, conventions, and tournament weekends • Why comfort matters during all-day events • The Alkem Gear Kickstarter and future plans Whether you're traveling to Magic events, Sorcery tournaments, board game conventions, or your local game store, Alkem Gear is trying to build a better solution for gamers on the move.
