A few of us attended GenCon again this year and it was as fun as ever. I registered a bit late this year but smartly arrived a day early to pick up my badge and tickets. Avoiding the huge will call line Thursday morning allowed me to join the mad rush when the Exhibit Hall opened up. I definitely did a lot of shopping this time but also managed to play some games each of the four days I attended.
As a diversified gamer, Gencon is a mixed blessing. Seeing all the awesome on display is a bit much and I injulged quite a bit this year. So even with a backlog of hobby projects at home I added yet more things on the "to do" list for many of my favorite games.

Gencon definitely keeps growing each year and parking was a big issue each day. I'm fortunate to be able to stay at a friends house who lives outside Indianapolis so I at least get to save on hotel costs. But driving down in the morning and parking was very expensive this year which was the only bummer.
Anyway, here are some highlights from my trip to the best four days in gaming!
