SirGuido, If you do talk to the guys, I would be all for handing out anything to promote the podcast. I will also read through the Con rules to see if there are any special requirements for handing out promotional items. Most likely we will be okay as long as we distribute outside of the convention center itself. gthickhead, It would be awesome to meet any other douchebags that listen to the podcast. Either way, Dub that Hentai sounds Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! When we went in 2010, there were very strict rules prohibiting handing out flyers and such. As in, they catch you doing it, you lose your badge. I wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you guys.

I wasn't able to get ahold of Happy Jacks things to hand out but I did get Monkey in the Cage stuff. I won't be randomly handing them to people but I will mention it during the games I'm in and hand them stuff if they sound interested.

I just got home, I just wasn't physically able to last any longer. I. . . . Had. . . . A. . . . FUCKING BLAST!
I even played some of HyveMynd's dirty hippie games! I got swag! I got awesome exclusives! I spent money! I'm not even upset about that last one! I even got to meet Muntjack, RobMITC, and FreeRangeGamer! I gamed with a Game Designer, got to meet Tom Vasel from The Dice Tower, and Shawn Carman who designs L5R currently.

I've been listening to some Monkey in the Cage I heard them name drop you and talk about going to Gen Con. Nice to see the small world in which we live become smaller! What AW game did you play ? What's some of the cool shit you bought? How'd you rank it compared to other Gen Con's? Throw us a bone here...those sorry masses left behind.

I played Fate Accelerated(set in the last airbender universe), and Monsterhearts. Fate was great and I already bought it. Monsterhearts wasn't really bad but wasn't my cup of tea. It was a short slot and it had an annoying player which may have added very much to my dislike though. I also played the L5R special event where I got some nice L5R swag. I got the Enemies of the Empire L5R book(for the baddies to throw at you guys soon! muwahahahah), Fate Accelerated, Mascarade(board game), Nothing Personal(board game), and lots of dice. This was the first year that I have been going where SO MUCH sold out in the early days. It was way more packed than any other time I've been. On the local news they reported that hotels going as far as 30 miles out were booked solid for the weekend. I even overheard some GenCon folks saying that just in pre-reg they had more people than the entirety of last year and every time I walked by registration there was a tremendously long line. I'd have to say there was well over 50,000 people there.

Back home after the con. It was a good time! It was the first time I managed to make it out there, and I'm certainly not disappointed. I feel like I may send a more complete response to my thoughts on Gen Con in an email or blog post, but I'll just mention a few cool points here.
Things I did at Gen Con worth note: -Attended 3 writing workshops that lit a spark to want to write fiction again. -The Hickmans' Killer Breakfast is absolutely amazing. If you have not go, then GO DAMN IT! Laughed my ass off. -Played an absolutely amazing game of Tekken Tag 2 that went down to the wire. Yes, I lost in the first round, but that one match was plenty enough to make me happy! -Got to watch a preview of the Inspectres movie, which will premiere in less than a month in Schaumburg, which is only 2 1/2 hours away. I'm going to try and go. Also got to listen to the actors, the script writers, which included Matt F'n Forbeck (!!!), and the creator of the Inspectres game. -Got autographs from Ed Greenwood (as well as a sincere thanks and a handshake) and Matt Forbek (Apparently I'm the first person he's ever autographed a copy of Inspectres). -Listened to a reading by Mercedes Lackey and a Q&A with her and Larry Dixon. -Got schooled in a Magic the Gathering tournament by an 8 year old girl.
Above all else, it was awesome meeting Sir Guido as well as Matt and Rob from Monkey in the Cage. Met some other very cool people, too.
I'm sure I'm forgetting other things. I loved all the Cosplay and all the Nintendo 3DS Street Passes!
Now...back to school work.
