GENCON is (one of) the largest and most extensive gameing
conventions around. All most all new material and new games are
introduced there. Everybody and their grandmother who has a game to
sell is there to. The big boys like TSR and FASA have big setups
with frequently held mini-adventures that anyone around can play.
(You have to sign up in the mornign to play usuallY) Like last year
Battletech and shadowrun and Earthdawn where both their. Plus they
have computer games, VR stuff, and lots of people wandering around in
costumes.
PLUS, they have seminars on all types of material, famous/popular
authurs, and a lot of space upstairs for anyone who wants to play any
thing to plop down and play. It runs from the morning to the later
evening. It's a general good time.
Oh, and for the battle tech people out there, last year the
battletech center had some modules set up so you could play. Just
like the battle tech center in Chicago. Maybe this year they will
also have Red Planet. I recently got the chance to play that at the
BT center in Chicago over spring break. It's real kool to.
If you play the BT at gencon, look for call sign THERMAL running
about in a Vulture IV. Heh heh. I'll be the one with the high
score.
