Oh, sure, there’s a costume contest, author appearances, musical guests, a film contest and arts areas. But the raison d’etre for GenCon is playing games. And that’s what thousands of people will be doing for four days (when they aren’t pumping up the downtown restaurant economy).
So GenCon is only for hard-core, in-the-know, Mountain-Dew-swigging, costumed folks and gawkers, right? Not at all. While you will see plenty of the above downtown this week, there’s also room at GenCon for a variety of gaming interests. You can spend your day or days just hanging out in the Exhibitors room where mainstream companies such as Mattel and Lego share space with Wizards of the Coast and Wyvern’s Lair … and where just about every rep invites you to join in a free demo game of their company’s latest creation. If you want to go deeper, tournaments abound, ranging from Scrabble to Munchkin Zombies. Details here.
