Gen Con Report
I went to Gen Con for the first time in my life, and apparently, I've lived to tell about it.
I had two main goals: to play games and meet people who work in the gaming industry. I ended up playing a lot of games. However, I got so caught up looking for interesting games that I failed at the second goal.
A couple of strange things happened. I almost collided with one of the Dungeon Dudes, who was carrying a load of nachos. I passed a few other YouTube notables in crowds, but I didn't want to interrupt their con. I'd swear in a court of law that I saw Pedro Pascal scurrying about with a large bag of RPGs and a concerned look on his face. That has to be impossible because I'd imagine he'd be swarmed by fans.
On Sunday, I overheard this line: "If we get to the airport four hours early, we can squeeze in one more session." Hardcore. Gotta love it.
Below is a list of the games I played and the seminars I attended. However, if you want a full breakdown, including pros and cons, visit the post here on dicegeeks.com.
