Gen Con Schedule!
I had a wonderful time at Origins Game Fair. Thanks to the folks there who brought me out and to everyone who joined me for all the fun and games. That especially goes to Ralph, Peter, Sean, Ellis, and the rest of the crew that ran the Marvel Multiverse RPG room. You can’t find people more dedicated and passionate about playing games.
I also got to hang out one night with the three gamers who have been to each and every of the 50 Origins Game Fairs. That includes my longtime pal Will Niebling, Carl Olson, and Alan Conrad.
The summer rolls on fast, though, and next up is Gen Con! I’m skipping Comic-Con International this year. I love the show dearly, but I got a great taste of it at Wondercon earlier this year. Also, the fact that it’s once again been bumped to the week before Gen Con makes it a bit of a death march, so I’m focusing on Gen Con instead.
I never miss Gen Con. I’ve been going every year since 1982, and I’m not about to break that streak if I can.
You can see many of the events I’ll be part of listed here.
Some of those events have already sold out, and others are going fast. This includes five two-hour games I’m running featuring the first act of the Planet Hulk adventure from the new Marvel Multiverse RPG Starter Set. Marvel is charging $100 a seat to join the fun, and — amazingly — most of the tables are already full. As I write this, there are still two seats available for Thursday at 2 PM and 3 seats available for Friday at 10 AM, but that’s it.
However, there are 5 seats left at the Coffee Klatch with Matt Forbeck, plus plenty for “For the Love of (Writing) the Game” (a panel about writing video games) and for the Andrew Hackard Memorial Munchkin Game that I play with my kids every year in honor of our pal. That one comes with a big stack of giveaways for those who attend, so join us for the fun!
On top off that, I’m also running the Diana Jones Award event on Wednesday night and emceeing the Costume Contest on Saturday afternoon. So I’ll be around. I hope to see you there!
