Gen Con: What's Changed in the past Six Years?


Gamer Life General Discussion

My first GenCon was in 1989. From 1993 to 2007 my wife and I either went every year or every other year. 2007 was our last one. We had felt like we’d conned out, if you will, and the visits were not as fresh. This year when we got the news that Paizo was becoming a big sponsor we looked at each other and smiled. We must return!

So (for you long-time attendees), in a nutshell has anything changed or become better (or worse?) in the past 6 years? Any new traditions or shows? We always attended the art show, the auction, the seminars, Tracy Hickman’s breakfast, Ennies, and the other staples. And looking forward to see old friends and getting in some Pathfinder Society play. Any suggestions welcome!


Too many interesting things to do, not enough time (or possibly funding) to take them all in. Gen Con is still awesome.

Hickman's Killer Breakfast is still kicking, highly recommended.

I used to grab the information as soon as it was released, and would carefully plan a packed itinerary for myself and my group of friends. The last few years though, I find that I have enjoyed myself more by just showing up and winging it.

Know, you have a point, thanks. We used to have our own spreadsheet schedules plotting out our days. Maybe we’ll treat it more as a vacation and just wing it. Plus, there’s a zoo nearby.
