Andy gives a special medal to anyone who can beat him at Homeworlds. Here’s the current list of medal holders:
- John Cooper
- Russell Grieshop
- Tim Sieger
- Joshua Kronengold
- Dayle Hodge
- Rob Bryan [Delivery still pending]
- Tom Eigelsbach
- Josh Drobina
- Shel West
- Wil Allyn

One of these medals has also been lost. It was pinned to a plush Owlbear who went missing at Burning Man 2017. We’re hoping Commander Owlbear has been having grand adventures and will someday return home, still wearing his medal.
