Gen Con LLC Community

Gen Con LLC has licensed Atlas Games to publish 40 Years of Gen Con ... a coffee table-style history of the convention through the years. We're collecting oral histories, photographs, reminiscences, and more, and we want your story to be part of this chronicle of the best four decades in gaming!

The GenConHistory.com web site is designed for you to share personal stories and photos, and for you to vote for your favorite submissions to help us make the best book possible. If you feel inspired by a rush of memories to share with posterity, or a discover of a box of old snapshots, we want to hear from you! If your submission(s) are used in the book, you'll get a complimentary copy of it and your name in the credtis. And if any of your submissions are ranked in the top 25 stories or top 25 photos, you'll receive a FREE 4-day badge for Gen Con Indy 2007!

New topics for story and photo submissions will be posted every Monday through the end of March, and each topic is open for submissions and voting for two weeks, so be sure get your submissions in soon and come back often to see what's new!

Half the stories will begin with "After a few beers.....".

Wait, wait, I got one.  What about when the Milwuakee police got a little overzealous about jay walking, and would not only follow you for several blocks, and watch for jay walking, but made several arrests?  Ok, I'll stop.  That was a weird con though.  Felt like I was under surveilance.  (Not saying the arrests weren't warranted.  Luckilly at least that didn't happen to me.) 

<warranted>  get it.  No really, I'm stopping now. 

There was the one time ....at Gen Con when ...........

I submitted 5 pics of mine, but It seems the pic of the big group hoisting the D20 was winning last I checked (man. wish I had thought about going at the end and asking to do that, woulda been cool! lol). oh well, I did get some votes so maybe I'll end up in the book. (my name is Ryan Tackett for those who want to see which pics were mine)

 If anyone wants to help out a broke college student rank mine high! lol.

good luck to everyone who enters 

I submitted a pic Cody took of me (with his permission).  I'm on page 9.

THANKS CODY!

I have registered on the site, but it has yet to send me my confirmation link and I don't see where to contact the site admini.  Who do I contact about this so that I can submit stuff?

I got my email immediately, but it went to my junk email.  Might want to check there.

 I just checked and you've got more stars for one of your pictures than than the D20 group at the moment.
