Gen Con 2012–The Final Report–Part 2
Yesterday focused more on the vendors and my purchases. Today is all about the specific events and the promised “worst con game session ever.” Thursday started off with “Firefly Hero.” We hopped aboard “Serenity” and tried to make a living being bad men while avoid the Alliance. By some miracle I wound up with [...]
Gen Con 2012–The Final Report–Part 1
Gen Con 2012 is over and this is my report on the weekend’s festivities. The information appears in no particular order. Wizards of the Coast starts our report with the release of a new “Dungeon Command” set “Tyranny of Goblins.” I played with my cohort Werlen, who is a massive miniature fan, especially the [...]

Shock! After years of logging in and attacking the housing portal at the moment it goes live to get a decent hotel room, this year was totally different. There are still rooms available at downtown hotels 8 hours after hotel registration began! This is unprecedented in my experience attending Gen Con. So, if you still [...]
A Gencon 2012 Hotel Near-Miss
Oops. I forgot today was the Gencon 2012 hotel registration day and logged in an hour late. Expecting to get a hotel somewhere in Outer Mongolia, I was pleasantly surprised to get the downtown hotel I desired. I hope this is because the new hotels in Indy finally added enough capacity to meet demand rather [...]

Livingdice’s Aces & Eights: Last Man Standing Shootout at Gen Con 2010–We Have a Winner!
Actually we have two winners. Yes, I said two. 16 brave souls entered the ruined church in the peaceful town of Harmony. Only one could emerge victorious. After much carnage, two gunfighters stood toe to toe with murder in their eyes and hot steel in their hands. On one side, a lowly cowpoke with poor [...]
