going to GENCON!

https://www.gencon.com/

So, by a chance of fate, I am going to the biggest gaming convention in the world. 60K+ will be attending

This is the first time I am going to a Con and not running any games... I get to travel light for a change, usually I have to bring all sorts of stuff to run games. 

I have avoided GenCon because of several things

• The amount of people attending
• Trying to run games would be crazy
• Trying to get into a game with thousands competing for a seat is insane
• Cost of hotels
• Cost of the badge
• Location: Indianapolis

So, since being involved with Envoy and doing board game demos (PAX Unplugged in Philly was my first big event) they put out a call for demo crew at GenCon... giving Rooms and Badges and goodies from the companies... 

So my first venture to Gencon will be doing board game demos. I will be with Breaking Games

https://breakinggames.com/

I requested Breaking games because I love the Sparkle Kitty and Sparkle Kitty Nights Games.  

I will be doing demos of Rise of Tribes and Expancity

I am trying to pick up as many Demo team opportunities as I can so I can remain as busy as possible without overdoing it... 

So, What am I looking forward to:

• Collecting as many Promo cards for games that I can
• Taking lots of Pictures 
• Getting lots of new games 
• Maybe running a game or 2 off the grid
• Playing an RPG game
• Playing in a few board games

I signed up for one event, that looks amazing... 

The Fist of Dragonstones: Tavern Edition Rollout Party

So, I will most likely get the game through Envoy, but this mug will be pretty cool....

I tend to Eat light when I am at a Con, Usually 1 meal per day and 2-3 Protein bars, This cuts down on food costs by a great amount... I try to spend less than 10-15 on Food and Drink... hoping to find a cheap coffee seller somewhere
