Gencon Indy is less than a month away. I am making the pilgrimage to the gamer Nirvana this year. Is anyone else from the Dope going there?

Ayup! I was gonna ask if you wanted to carpool, but then I checked your location.

Yeah, the GF and I will be there.

We’re leaving early Thursday morning from Chitown.

Well, as befits my Doper name, I’m headed to the World Boardgaming Championships, as they tend to be more focused on wargames (I’m an old hex based grognard from waaay back).

Have fun at Gencon though, I’ve heard it’s a fun time.

So do you have anything special planned?

I have signed up for the Warmachine Tournament and for some miniature painting classes. But I guess I’ll be spending a lot of time taking in the sights.

We’re just going to be doing generics. We’re not registered for any specific slot.

My girlfriend has decided that she’s going to dress up steampunk for at least one day.
