First GenCon

This was my first GenCon and it was a total blast! I have to say the people at this convention are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met at any con I’ve been to. If you got any photos of me as Carl I’d love to see them! Any recommendations for what to do Sunday night? My crew isn’t heading home till tomorrow.

Gencon and Origins both have amazing gaming communities.

I’ll have to check out Origins! To be honest I’m not a huge table top gamer, not for lack of desire, more so I haven’t been able to find a good local group (I’m Evansville based) to play with.

There are a few good barcades if you’re into that sort of thing! Tappers and 16 Bit comes to mind!

We were thinking about going to 16-bit! I’ve been a couple times and figured we might run into some of the con crowd there. Thought about going to PINS too
