Number of Views :1604Though I didn’t get to attend GenCon, I did still get some benefit from the Con. My sister-in-law, Tricia, works for Fantasy Flight, and was down at the con to help do some demoing of their products. Andrew, my brother, decided to go down to GenCon for the final day, Sunday, and [...]
Number of Views :420I’ve got some RPG purchases I’ve made in the last few days, ones I’d be most likely making at GenCon, were I going. On Friday, we’ll be once again exploring the disappearance of the Godfell Stone, and I need to be prepped! The catacombs beneath Skytop Monastery are dangerous. So here’s what [...]

GenCon
Number of Views :969Yes, that’s right. I’ve decided that, though I’m not going to GenCon this year ( ) I’m going to go to GenCon next summer, at all costs. “What’s that?” you say. “But GenCon hasn’t even started yet.” Blame Twitter. Everyone is arriving today, and is already talking about how amazing it all [...]
Number of Views :495I am now back home and about to give my recount of day 3 at GenCon. Short and sweet it was slower and just as good as the other two. Maybe even a little better if you consider that I won a castle. Seriously. But we’ll get back to that a bit [...]
Number of Views :761Day 2 easily put was even better than day one! We had a fabulous time. We arrived in the dealer hall at about 11 am. Got to enjoy looking through the booths. If it’s gaming related and you like it then chances are very good that you can find it here! I [...]
Number of Views :700Day two of GenCon was busy, busy, busy and fantastic! This morning we woke up too late for the game we were scheduled for, so instead we went over to the Dealer Hall and wandered for a while. Bridget picked up a set of Game Science dice, we got a stuffed dragon [...]
Number of Views :750You’ve seen Bridget’s post, now here’s my perspective. Waking up at 5am is never fun, except on one day: The day of GenCon. We woke up bright and early and hit the road for a three-and-a-half hour trip down to Indy. Arriving around 10:30, we moved to find parking, and I was [...]
Number of Views :659Well ladies and gentlemen, I have completed my first day at GenCon and am about to begin day 2. Yesterday was absolutely wonderful. It was an early trip to Indianapolis from Chicago; not a bad drive at all. I feel as though I have completed my first gamer pilgrimage. GenCon is my [...]

Number of Views :688Ever since I began playing RPGs at the age of 15 (10 years now… Has it really been a decade?) I’ve heard of GenCon. Spoken about as advertisements in the back of hardback Wizards of the Coast supplements, Star Wars Gamer, Dragon and Dungeon Magazines, GenCon was always the far off place where your dreams came [...]

Number of Views :554Yes, that’s right! We’re going to tell you exactly where we’ll be! (Note there are a lot of board games here. We actually play a lot of board games here at home, so we’re happy to get out there and play some we’ve never tried before.) Let’s start with Friday, our first [...]
