Well, not really us, but we are part of the 26,000+ people that show up to do whatever makes us happy for 4 days straight. Once you’re done marveling at the dealer hall, throwing down with the copious amount of gaming, and taking it (mostly) easy with the non-gaming events you should take a moment to just get to know your fellow gamers. We’re all really at the convention for the same reason, and that is to relax, game, and have some fun. Take some time to talk to your fellow gamer and make some new friends. It’ll make your trip out the following year just that much more fun when you meet up with your new con friends. Also, you might want to peruse the official Gencon Forums for other hints and tips about attending the convention. It’ll cover everything from convention etiquette, recommended items to carry around, and some pretty baller places to eat.
That pretty much concludes our 4 article series about Gencon. All that’s left for you, dear readers, is to pack it up and head out to Indy or hit the jump to get our podcasting schedule for Gencon. We will be recording these podcasts live so if you’ve got some time free and your attending, we’d love it if you stopped on by to be part of our live studio audience.
PNG will be recording 3 special Gencon episodes live at the Westin in the Caucus room. Dates and times are as follows:
Thursday 8/13 from 8:00 – 9:00pm with guest Derek Guder (Gencon Event Programming Manager)
Friday 8/14 from 8:00 - 9:00pm
Saturday 8/15 from 6:00 – 7:00pm
We’ll be talking about what we’ve been playing, who we’ve been talking to, and what everybody has been saying at the convention. It’s the closest thing to actually being there! Podcasts will be uploaded either that night or early the next morning. If you need more of a Gencon fix, be sure to check out another podcast called This Just In From Gencon. They’ll also be doing two live 15 minute recording sessions each day and immediately uploading them for your listening pleasure. Jim & Logan will still be recording the regular PNG Bro-down on Thursday night so you’ll get two episodes on Friday for the price of one!
Lastly, members of PNG will be rolling into Indy around 3pm on Wednesday, August 12th. We traditionally have our evening mean at The RAM Brewery around 5pm. Feel free to find us and say hello or shoot me an e-mail (James.Jones@PixelsandGrids.com). You may also track us down via my Twitter (PNGJames) or the official Pixels and Grids Twitter (PixelsandGrids). See you kids at the con!
