All of the prizes have now been distributed to all of our winners, so it is time for us to turn the page on the 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG contest. I'll see you all again next year, when the Pumpkin Spice Latte once again returns to Starbucks.

Iceland is amazing- highly recommend. They've really built it up as a hub for people flying to/from Europe, and you can usually get amazing fares if you look around. The people are incredibly friendly, and most speak English (certainly better than I speak Icelandic).

If you go, a few notes-
A. If you're going during the summer, make sure your hotel or AirBnB has blackout windows. Mine did, and I was SO GRATEFUL.
B. I'd recommend renting a car for at least one day of your stay and driving the "little ring road" (the Golden Circle). It is amazing and can be done as a full daytrip. When you're doing it, make sure to go see the Reynisfjara on the South Coast (a small extension a short distance from Vik). One of the highlights of my travels ... when I go back, I plan on doing the full ring road, but that's a multi-day experience.
C. Reykjavik is cool. There is a ... pen** museum. If you read that and think, "I have to go!" then you are the exactly the person who needs to go.

A buddy of mine landed in Reykjavik yesterday. He sent this picture along... recognise it?

Man, the London Tube is way more extensive than I thought.

It wasn't open and he took a shot in the dark that it was in fact a museum... I'll pass that nugget along. He's in Reykjavik because apparently Halloween is a major club scene nowadays ¯\(ツ)/¯

Here's another shot from six minutes ago.
