Gen Con Coverage Request Thread

[Zachary The First]

Hey all--

I'm covering Gen Con again for theRPGsite this year. If you've been around the boards for a while, you know I usually post plenty of pictures, try to get the word on new product, and keep my ear to the ground for what folks are talking about. If there are any products you'd like me to try to cover or get pics of "in the wild", please let me know. Obviously 5e is going to be a big topic of discussion, but there are plenty of other games on the list, too.

This year, I'm bringing my daughter on Friday. This is the first Gen Con she's been to where she's been old enough to really game, so it'll be neat to get her perspective in some of the demos, etc., too. Otherwise, I'll be there 3 of the 4 days, at least, and will be ready to try to cover as much as I can. It looks like it's going to be a really good year for RPG accessories, terrain, and minis, just looking at the exhibitor list.

I'd be interested in any news on the Delta Green or Feng Shui reboots that you happen across. That's all I can think of at the mo.

No worries, I'll put it on the list.

Any scoop on CoC 7th would be cool.

Maybe try and pidgon-hole someone from SJgames and ask about the new Diskworld and GURPS in general.

ICONS: Assembled Edition is *supposed* to be at the Green Ronin booth.  I've pre-ordered it, but I'd appreciate pics and such as I suspect it'll be at GenCon first.

[Zachary The First]

Certainly, certainly!

I'm not a great Runequest fan, but i think that keeping up to date with Design Mechanism's plans would serve the board well, if you could manage it.

Hell Yeah Zachary, sit in on Loz running Mythic Britain, or at least see if you can get some info from the people who do.



Maybe some layout pics?

Mostly just want to see whats up over at the FFG booth.

Good stuff so far guys, please keep it coming. I have a new camera this year, so I should be able to get some pretty good pics. Assuming everything works out as it should, I'll be updating a few times each day (if you remember how this sort of thing has gone in recent years).

Thank you in advance Zachary! You always do a great job.

If possible, get pics of game designers running their shiznack.

If there are any interesting Kickstarter's promoting their launch, that would be cool too.

And dice porn.

Oh, man, ALL the dice porn. Q-Workshop, Crystal Caste, Chessex, Flying Buffalo, Koplow, Gamescience (not sure which iteration, with all the issues they've had) will be there, and a few booths should have some handcrafted and specialty dice besides.

I'd like to hear about your daughter's experiences with gaming there. I think that her perspective will be pretty important as an indicator.
