Gen Con events went live this weekend and things went pretty smooth on my end. It is usually a frustrating time as their site crumbles under the weight of thousands of gamers furiously refresh their screens trying to get events. Either the events I prefer these days aren’t popular or I got in early in the queue but there wasn’t really anything that sold out for me. Well except for my hosted events.
But I can’t count that as a bad thing.
This past Sunday, Gen Con released their 2019 event listings (or at least the first crop of them). As I’ve done for the past eleven years, I’ll be heading out to Indy this August and for the fourth year in a row, I’ll be hosting a few events at the Con.
No, this won’t be a new series, it’s just a cheap alliteration. I still have stories that need be told from my adventures at Gen Con and I wanted to focus in on my Frostgrave experience in particular. The best event I participated at the ‘Con was the Frostgrave free-for-all hosted by the game’s designer Joseph McCullough. The host was nice, the game was great and everything was well run.
Likely not a very inspired post but I took all the photos I could of the new expansions coming up for Song of Ice & Fire Miniatures game at Gen Con 2018 and figured I should post them up for others to see.
With my Gen Con days concluded, I only have a quick wrap-up of some final thoughts and this year’s spoils.
The final day for Gen Con 2018 was upon us and there wasn’t much for me to do except run my last two events of the Con. First up was my third annual Loopin’ Chewie tournament.
With half of the Con down, Saturday started with the usual crush of weekend attendees. I tend to avoid the dealer hall on the weekend as it is just too crowded. Instead, I had my Dropzone Commander event in the main event hall.
Gen Con 2018 Day two began a little later, thankfully and was tournament-free. Up first was the Frostgrave Event with the designer, Joseph McCullough.
So I fixed all the sideways image files. Uploading from my phone tends to do that. The good news is I figured out a workaround for future phone posting. Even better news is that I carved out some time to wrap up my Walking Dead doings at Gen Con.
Day one Gen Con 2018 passed with a blur as I filled my schedule with events. It started off with X-wing 2.0’s preview tournament. This turned out to be more “preview” than “tournament” but was pretty fun even if winning didn’t actually mean anything.
