Chris O’Neill

Founder of 9th Level Games (Philly). Publisher of Mazes, Kobolds Ate My Baby, Business Wizards. Met Panat in person at BookCon (April 2026).

Why this matters

• Old-school D&D enthusiast. Aligned with our RPG curation and events programming.
• Philly-based — close enough to host an in-store event in Jersey City.
• Expressed interest in running an event at Dungeon Books.
• We already stock his titles via Faire, but a direct relationship unlocks events, signed copies, and earlier access to new releases.

Touchpoints

• BookCon, April 2026 — met in person. Panat mentioned our recent Mazes session went over well with the group.

Action items

• Follow up post-BookCon — thank you + concrete event proposal (date range, format, expected attendance, logistics).
• Explore direct wholesale vs continuing via Faire (direct usually gives better margin + signed/personalized copies for events).
