I moved to Indiana this summer, so I had to go. This was my first time, and I only went for one day, but I had a blast.

Rindis, a friend of mine, a big veteran of Gencon, started going to Origins a couple years ago and I think he likes it as well or better than Gencon. He's first and foremost into RPGs, then tabletop games like Warhammer or Mordheim, and then board games when the rest of us drag him into one (but I think as much as anything he likes that Origins is a lot closer to Pittsburgh, where he lives, and he likes Columbus better than Indy).

I spent a good deal of my time in the exhibit hall, with stops in the auction room and the Rio Grande games room. Next year, I need more days!

I rarely get to conventions these days, and almost never out of state. I've considered going to Origins, but not GenCon (a little closer to my kind of thing, and the F&E group there seems like a great amount of fun).

I know it's been awhile, but did anyone here go to GenCon this year? Andrew & I went and I was going to post about it but I got the flu while I was there and was out of commission for several days. Then it was just back to the usual and I completely forgot about it!
