Gencon

As long as I'm posting up a storm, I might as well mention that I'm going to Gencon, mother of all gaming conferences. It used to be in Milwaukee which was easily drivable from Madison, but now it is in Indianapolis so I'm going to share a hotel room with some other fucks. Sadly, my advisor thinks that we have a meeting during Gencon. I will have to rectify this somehow.

Define "gaming".

Board games, RPGS, that sort of stuff. I haven't been so I can't comment too fully. I'll be there for the board type games. Also you can paint miniatures for free.

E.g.? Puerto Rico? Rush Hour? Settlers?

I think this convention features a variety of games from Dungeons & Dragons, to Collectible Card Games (CCGs) and tabletop games like Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (a la Games Workshop). These are the ones with really expensive pewter models, scatter dice, and damage templates.

And now for random info:

DnD, 'nuff said.

CCGs, hmm... the only ones I've personally played are magic the gathering, star trek, and galactic empires (at least the only ones that come to mind).

For tabletop games I've only played Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer Quest, Necromunda, and made virtual Warhammer Epic Armies (before epic was discontinued).

I was talking to my current manager and she was saying how whenever her son went to siggraph she would go with him. I was thinking the whole time, 'wow that's got to suck for the son'

So where's the con report? From what I can tell, you're not allowed to attend a con without producing an appropriate report.

Martin · Post by **Martin** » Wed Jul 30, 2003 5:35 pm

I have a con report which I posted to my LJ...
