Convention Report – Gen Con 50
Gen Con 50
By Martin Tideswell
As I sit here in the lobby of my hotel the day after the chaos has concluded, overlooking the forlorn-looking Gen Con 50 sign at The Claddagh Irish Pub, I can confirm I have a bad case of the post-Gen Con blues. A real bad case. In fact, approach with caution for the foreseeable… Yes, I am that guy you saw walking the convention center earlier, wistfully recalling...

Gen Con 2016

Today was an incredibly good day for me professionally in regards to Mystical Throne Entertainment and Savage Insider. I did not get time to do any of the interviews I was interested in doing, but I at least did get a chance to wander the hall a little more. My day started with an awesome Savage Worlds game featuring the upcoming ETU (East Texas University) setting...

Gen Con Day #2
By Aaron T. Huss
Today was a busy day for me as I was working at the Third Eye Games booth and talking to a handful of people interested in contributing to Savage Insider. None of this is particularly exciting for Roleplayers Chronicle, so I’ll just leave it at that.
When I hit the Exhibitors Hall this morning, I thought I was working at the booth immediately, but it turned out...

Martin Tideswell, a 40-year-old newspaper journalist from England, was making his first trip to the States when he attended Gen Con Indy…
The sky above Indianapolis was a striking blue when I began my journey home and as my plane reached the wispy, candy floss clouds I began to reflect on my first Gen Con and, indeed, my first trip to the States.
As I arrived at immigration a stern-looking fellow...

As with last year, that means there will be a break in our regular news during the course of these next 5 days (Wednesday – Sunday).
