TLDR… likely will not find this [[Pithing Needle]] in a [[Haystack]]…
I greatly appreciate all the well wishes and people reaching out to their friends and sharing. At this point, I’m losing hope, but it was a beautiful experience nonetheless. I’m posting this as a last-ditch effort, and to close the book if nothing comes of it.
I think his name was Dean. His friend’s name was Brandon. He wore a white(?) or pink (?) cap and a plant-patterned shirt. We talked in front of the Witherbloom tent at the Area15 party, “Secrets of the Archaics”. He loves Slay the Spire. He later mentioned doing some ticketed play events at the con.
I was the dark-haired lady in a red ruffled shirt and black pants. I talked about Art of Magic a lot, and spent most of the con there.
Wherever he is, I hope he had a fun weekend!
