Gen Con is in three weeks?
As I discussed recently on Upshift, I’ll be attending my first Gen Con in four years. I’ve been to Gen Con in a professional capacity for so long, I’m rusty on how to Gen Con as an attendee. Not that I’m going 100% as a hobbyist this time. I’ll be MCing World’s Collide, the first Essence20 Multitable Mega Event. And my main motivator for attending the con instead of my cousin’s wedding that weekend (Devin understands) is that I have five Essence20 books debuting that weekend. But, I’m not promoting them in an official capacity. No seminars, no signings, not even working the Renegade booth. I’m attending Gen Con to be there when those products release.
So, what should I do this year? What have you loved doing at Gen Con in the past? What do you regret missing? Let me know on the Know Direction Discord server.
Speaking of Know Direction Network content, here’s what we released last week.
