Gen Con 2009 Report –The Games We Played Part 1
Gen Con is by far the largest convention I have ever attended. Massive vendor areas, huge variety of games and multiple venues kept me hopping the entire four days. Since there is so much I broke up my coverage into several posts over the next few days. Upcoming topics include my “True Dungeon” experience, the [...]
Gen Con 2009–At the Airport
Gen Con 2009 is over and I am dead tired, happy, but tired. Watch this space over the next couple of days for reports on Eclipse Phase, Alpha/Omega, NSDM, my first True Dungeon experience, Aces and Eights, Ex-Illis and others. Trask, The Last Tyromancer
Gen Con is Nigh!– In Honor of Gamers Everywhere I present “O Fortuna”
Gen Con draws near and I am ready! Ready for no sleep, spending too much money and generally having a good time. I am very excited since this is my first Gen Con and have been itching to go since 1986. Watch this space for some updates during the convention and more extensive coverage in [...]
Gen Con 2009 Vendor and Exhibitor Link List on RPGSeek.com
Gen Con 2009 is less than one month away and I thought it a good time to post my yearly list of links to the vendors and exhibitors. I hunted down websites, created descriptions for each site and then loaded them into the RPGSeek.com link directory. The link directory has a new category “Gen Con [...]
Gen Con Bankruptcy Update
This is something of formality, but I thought everyone might like to know that the Gen Con bankruptcy is now over. Strictly speaking the main part of the bankruptcy completed several months ago, but there were some small issues, minor debts and various other items that kept the bankruptcy filing open. I am happy to [...]
Gen Con 2009 Event Catalog Posted!
Gen Con posted the current catalog of events (as of 4-12-09) for Gen Con 2009. It is a massive Excel spreadsheet (or .csv file) that lists all the events currently planned for Gen Con 2009. Even now, months before the event, the list is almost too big to easily search. Happily, the spreadsheet has filters [...]
Gen Con Hotel Sign-Up Goes Smoothly
Haaldaar and I successfully secured our room for Gen Con 2009 at the Marriott. A bit more expensive than some of the other hotels, but I like Marriots and it was nearly on top of the vendor area. Two items of note: Haaldaar got a bad sign-up link that pointed to the 2008 registration site. [...]
Gen Con Registration Starts 2-15–Hotel Registration on 2-17
I am buried at work and blogging is correspondingly light, but a looming deadline roused me to post. Gen Con registration opens this Sunday (2-15-09) for badge purchases. Gen Con is still months away, but an early badge purchase is critical to access the hotel reservation system that goes live on Tuesday (2-17-09) at 12:00 [...]
Gen Con Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan Approved–Gen Con Acquisition Group Unsuccessful
The headline pretty much sums up today’s events. The judge signed an order that approved the December 4, 2008 Chapter 11 reorganization plan for Gen Con LLC. You can read the Gen Con Chapter 11 reorganization order for yourself, but it is not very exciting. The bottom line is that Gen Con survived the various [...]
