Gen Con Intro - Let the Games Begin!

Convention Center Happies

The Indianapolis Convention Center is gearing up for Gen Con Indy to sweep into the city, and with it comes the largest gaming community around. Over 27 thousand people will head down to play everything from WoW Mini's to Dungeons and Dragons .

While the event officially gets under way tomorrow, there are already lots of people out getting registered, shopping for their own dice and meeting up with friends. I passed a lot of people on the street in the area with registration tags hanging around their necks taking adult beverages back to their rooms to sustain the players throughout the long evening that is sure to come!

MMOs are being well represented as well, with Freaky Creatures , Champions Online (being one of the event sponsors), WoW Mini's and t-shirts everywhere!

In addition to the featured MMO is SOE's Gen Con Meet & Greet ! Don't miss it if you're in the area, they would love to see you there!

These were just a few of the pictures I was able to take while wandering the registration area, there's a lot more to be seen that I couldn't get pictures of. I'll be sure to get to them as the week continues.

WoW Mini's

 

On a sad note, the event this year is paying tribute to the late Gary Gygax in numerous ways, including this request for personal dice donations, placed inside the giant die. The donations will be auctioned off on Saturday.

The event promises to bring out the true geek in all of us, and there's lots more to come here at Gen Con over the next 4 days, so keep an eye out, and if you see Tovin wandering the floor, be sure to say hi, and maybe even invite me out for some adult beverages!
