June 7-8, 2025 - Oshkosh Convention Center
Oshkosh, WI
Come visit your Uncle Atom and play all kinds of fun tabletop wargames! Not a tournament-based event, but an event to learn new games, play fun multiplayer wargames, meet like-minded players, and learn new things.
During this seventh annual event, you’ll be able to play miniatures games and demos, home-brewed rules, narrative games, and more. There’ll be some painting classes, too! And daily door prizes!
The event is NOW being held at the newly renovated Oshkosh Waterfront Hotel & Convention Center. This venue MIGHT change names before the event in June, but not locations. It’s a long story, but the renovations are nearly complete. There will also be some activities after the game hall closes on Saturday night.
Saturday badge: $18, Sunday badge: $12, Weekend badge: $30 (you get two extra door prize tickets!)
Tickets will be available at the door.
Games run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Sunday
Doors open for ticket purchase at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 8:30 a.m. Sunday
Painting Classes
Back again for 2025! We’ve had painting classes in the past with amazing artists such as Sam Lenz, Zambies, Vince Venturella, and Ninjon. Limited seats will be available – and tickets will go on sale in early 2025 to secure your seat. NOTE: ticket prices DO NOT include entry price to TMX. However, you don’t need to have a ticket to TMX to attend classes. If you just want to attend classes and not play games, then a TMX badge is not required.
Each class is $30 and all money (excepting included service fees) go to the artists.
Class information and links to ticket sales will be on this site in early 2025.

GAMEMASTER SIGN-UP
This event is known as an ‘expo’ because there aren’t any tournaments. We’re looking for people to run tabletop wargaming demos, fun multiplayer events, ‘homebuilt’ rules systems, playtests, and things of that nature. If you run an event or events for at least six hours, your weekend badge fee will be waived. Table space will be 60 inches by six feet.
Please fill out the form below with your event (if you’d like to run multiple events, please fill out a separate form for each) and if you have any questions, please let me know via email at atom@tabletopminions.org and I’ll get you sorted.
Housing
There is a discounted hotel block available at the Oshkosh Waterfront Marriott Hotel (across the skywalk from the convention center) for $139.99 per night. Book your group rate for Tabletop Minions Expo here - last day to book with the group rate is May 5, 2025. Also, there are bathrooms are IN your room, not down the hall like in the years past. So that’s nice.
Vendors
Snarling Badger Studios
Makers of fun miniature-agnostic wargames like Reign in Hell, Space Station Zero, MAJESTIC 13, Deth Wizards, and others..
To vendors:
We’re accepting vendors for the event. Right up front: this event is pretty small and intimate, and we really only want vendors who are game manufacturers, publishers, and designers or vendors who make products for tabletop wargaming (terrain, models, templates, accessories, etc.) as well. A single six-foot table is $50 for the weekend and includes two vendor badges. Please email me at atom@tabletopminions.org if you’re interested or have questions.
