Gen Con Community

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you there. It's going to be fun!

[quote user="Bubba Ho-Tep"]Wish I had sign-up for this, but I volunteered to help out at a vendor booth[/quote] I wish you were going to be there too, Bubba Ho-Tep! Perhaps the entire vendor booth would shut down and you can all come play Iron GM? Seriously, though, there is a rumor the Iron...

The Iron GM Podcast #4 has the fullest list of prize support sponsors to date. We're giving most of that to players. Makes me salivate -- not the best image I admit, but hooo is this some good stuff!

I think the podcast, which you can listen to here, does a lot to convey the philosophy behind the event. Unfortunately (or so I believe) yours truly's dulcet tones didn't make this episode. Too busy getting ready for Gen Con. But you can hear me banter in previous episodes. I play the intros...

For anyone interested, Geek Dad over at Wired had some things to say about the event. Getting excited!

I'm not old enough to have known Eve, but you seem pretty awesome! Pop in a half hour early, if you can, and I'm sure we could use your help. You'll know who to look for because I'm wearing that day-glow orange tuxedo and Rone is dressed in a kung-fu outfit. Even at Gen Con we stand out...

Every player receives a richly developed character with at least a full page of background including major and minor goals. The guys running it are two of the best storytellers...

Thank you NascragMan! Between when you posted and now it got bigger...er the prize chest that is! 1. Green Ronin has sent in 20 Mutants & Masterminds books for us to hand out to people at the Iron GM World Championship 2011 on Saturday at Gen Con Indy . 2. Silvervine Games has provided some cool...

I didn't even tell you about my Kung-Fu glam-rock sidekick (Rone Barton of the Ennie winning Atomic Array podcast)or my gorgeous, actress/model co-host, Jen Page (from, among other things, The Dorkness Rising). You need to come play! That's even more fun. As a player, you can enter Player Olympics...

So a couple of things that might be of help to you. We have 20 GMs competing and offered 120 player tickets. That means at most there will be 6 players to a table. It's likely they'll be 1 or 2, 5-player tables. There is no reason you can't insist that yours is one of those. As a gamer with...
