March 29, 2008 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Game Day, Games

GenCon 2007: The Big Pile of Loot

August 23, 2007 Ken Newquist Blog, Events, Games, Role-Playing Games

GenCon is over. And now I’ve got a huge pile of loot sitting in my gaming room, just waiting to be read. Amazingly, there’s not a single Dungeons & Dragons book to be found among the stack, not even the[…]

GenCon 2007, Day 4: Sundered Skies and Chessex Dice

August 23, 2007 Ken Newquist Blog, Events

As the morning sun shone on the final day of GenCon I arrived at my last game of the convention, a Savage Worlds game taking place in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting called Sundered Skies. After liberating a dragon from the[…]

GenCon 2007, Day 3: Star Wars, Exhibit Hall, Savage Pirates, RPG Podcast Party, Mall Zombies

August 21, 2007 Ken Newquist Blog, Events, Games, Role-Playing Games

I woke up far too early on Saturday to get to an 8 a.m. Star Wars d20 game. The game let out early, which gave me time to wander the exhibit hall until exhaustion sent me retreating to my hotel[…]

GenCon 2007, Day 2: Battlestar Galactica, RPG Podcasters, Solomon Kane

August 21, 2007 Ken Newquist Blog, Events, Games, Role-Playing Games

Thursday’s D&D 4E buzz subsided by Friday morning, though a bunch of the special 4E t-shirts could be found in the convention hall. I will say there weren’t nearly as many as when 3E was announced in 1999, though admittedly[…]

GenCon: Day 0

August 15, 2007 Ken Newquist Games, Role-Playing Games

Sue dropped me off in Indianapolis at 1 p.m. after deftly navigating around “Janitors for Justice” protest just next to the Indy Hilton. They were protesting someone — not exactly sure who — for higher wages and healthcare benefits. After[…]

The GenCon Survival Pack

August 13, 2007 Ken Newquist Blog, Events

It’s been five years since I’ve been to GenCon. A lot has happened since then — the convention’s moved from Milwaukee to Indianapolis. I’ve had two kids. I’ve changed jobs. And I’ve found myself wanting to play games that aren’t[…]
