This summer I had planned on going to Origins and skipping GenCon and then life happened and I was in Vermont in June and busy. This August I find myself in a position to get to Indy for the best four days in gaming, so why not.

Getting into the GenCon mindset this late in the game has introduces some challenges. I haven’t been following the normal YouTubers or really paying attention to the BGG GenCon preview forums. I am far too late for any of the exclusive content from Fantasy Flight (Thanks FF for artificial scarcity, Not!) so that’s one less thing to try and schedule. Most of the events I like to attend I’ve gotten into (What’s new at publisher X seminars mostly.) Now I need to spend a few nights working out what games look good and what games I might need to put on the must buy list. So far that list only includes Goodman Games DCC Lankhmar.
