So ... any news from GenCon? It seems quiet on all the Indie boards ... unsurprisingly, but surely some interesting news has leaked out?

Hey, I thought I'd update everyone on which games we'll have at the Big Show in Indy (Aug 14-17) a mere three weeks from now.

Obviously, the con is outside the UK and so we don't have a Collective Endeavour stand there, but several members will be Stateside with their books. Others will be represented through other channels.

Cold City Gen Con Game AP Report

On the Friday of Gen Con Indy 2007, I was due to run my first ever scheduled game at the con. My feelings of trepidation should probably have been no more marked than at any other convention: after all, there are only so many players at the table anyway. However, for this particular con game, I had taken lots of advice in light of a couple of bad experiences at cons in the UK.

Just to address the balance since all these positive threads about the wonderful Dragonmeet are appearing...

Gen Con UK was last weekend. There appears to be a lot of talk about it on UKRoleplayers. The general gist of it is that it was crap for traders because the cost of entry for punters was so great that a lot of them were left feeling either (a) too skint to buy anything or (b) like they had to spend every single second playing to get their money worth and not entering the trade hall.
