The Gen Con catalog is up! If you're looking for something to play, a lot of last year's most anticipated games are playable events in 2026. Check out the hotness from last year, and add a few to your wish list. #GenCon #BoardGames https://thegamesletter.com/the-20-most-anticipated-board-games-of-gen-con-25

I am really bummed out that most rpg sessions have jumped from $4 to $20 just in the last couple of years.
I go to #GenCon to play back-to-back #ttrpg sessions but the cost makes me flinch now, hundreds of dollars more for the four days.
I suppose the solution is to run games instead but...ugh, I do that at home.

Just ordered our badges for #GenCon 2026! Pro tip to any first time attendees: pay for the USPS delivery. Will Call sounds good, but gosh, it’s a lot of time standing in line when you could be gaming. Any other Mastodon #BoardGames folks planning on going?

This week was my 20th anniversary of working at #GenCon and the team put together a cute collage from over the years.
It has certainly been a wild ride.

I’ve never painted one of these ill-tempered spacemen from #Warhammer40K before. Another take-home mini started at one of the Games Workshop Hang Out and Hobby events at #GenCon. I kept the paint scheme classic and finished it up with proper (I think) decals to give the classic faction representation in my display case. #MiniaturePainting

An #AgeOfSigmar Liberator, liberating liberally. #MiniaturePainting
One of the projects I carried home with me from the Games Workshop Hang Out and Hobby events at #GenCon. -
A promo of @atomicmassgames’s mascot Atom from the #MiniaturePainting hangout event at #GenCon.
Lemme tell you, I initially made a real hatchet job of the base coat because I was hasty and didn’t undercoat the yellow. It was… yikes. But after I got it home, I gave it some love and got it looking presentable. -

I used to date a blonde who loved #RenaissanceFestival potion bottles because "#GenCon never checks what's in them. They just think it's part of your costume." Just a little #cosplaying tip for you all.

I attended Gen Con this year. After battling through the con crud, I wrote about it. #GenCon #GenCon25 https://thegamesletter.com/gen-con-2025-good-bad-and-games-sanctuary-arc-nova/

So another #GenCon in the books. A remarkably smooth one, especially considering the chaos of last year.
Unfortunately, several of our favorite games (Shipwreck Arcana, Smug Owls, Lord of the Rings Trick Taking)) walked away on Monday at our post-con game time, which really soured the liminal time before we head home.
-
Still kinda reeling from #GenCon and now we're back to work on this lovely monday morning. Gonna play games with Tiddly and friends and try to tell as many stories from the con as I can.

A few closing #GenCon thoughts…
1. GenCon has a weird rep about being a place to shop but not to play games. Over 4 days, we played 16 games & some RPGs.
2. Everything is either a new RPG system now or a TCG. Not sure what to make of it.
3. Really lost my patience with Flatout Games (Cascadia) using GenCon to drum up Kickstarter enthusiasm. (Generally grumpy about KS)
4. “I think I finally have enough dice.” @timcoffman, who didn’t buy any dice this year. It’s ok, I did my part. #BoardGames -
But, oh man, did that announcement make it clear that Critical Role and Darrington Press are going after the TTRPG crown (which makes it likely IMO that C4 will use Daggerheart). I don't think they have the economies of scale and infrastructure to actually dislodge WotC and D&D (but I can see them taking the #2 slot from Paizo), but it will be an interesting year nonetheless.

Today at #gencon I played a Duros mechanic in a really fun #EdgeOfTheEmpire game. Then played #SavageWorlds Flash Gordon, wrecked 2 wolfoid arena monsters and then got crushed for 32 damage by a giant robot! Owwwww! #ttrpg

If you find me at #GenCon and tell me "Saluton", I'll give you a swanky green ribbon.

Last stream of the week because of #GenCon!
We're starting today with some #Grounded2 #GiftedByXbox. Might play more #Destiny2 if the mood strikes. Either way it goes, good fun to be had -> https://www.twitch.tv/revealingtoomuch

CW: My Gen Con 2025 schedule
Flying to #GenCon2025 in the morning. I"m in two events and a panel this year! Tickets still available for all three:
Thursday at noon: The Space Between, the finale of the Pocket Dragon Pub's actual play of Magnus Archives RPG. No need to have caught previous episodes; our amnesiac characters have been slowly remembering who they are as they wander the apocalypse from later in the podcast series.
https://www.gencon.com/events/278544
Saturday at 5 p.m.: The Circle of Wires and Whispers, an actual play of Candela Obscura. Two members of the circle have been kidnapped at the end of the last investigation, and their Lightkeeper has called in favors for reinforcements. Another Pocket Dragon Pub game!
https://www.gencon.com/events/278559
Sunday at noon: Have You Considered Making Decisions Without a D20? Free panel! Aimed at folks who got into the hobby through the most popular games, or anyone who wants to hear about what's out there, my friend Vixie and I talk about TTRPGs that aren't Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, and the many different styles of games that are out there now.
https://www.gencon.com/events/278832
Friday I got tickets to play Torg Eternity and the Wildsea, since it's been a while for both.

I never met the late Alfred Leonardi, but I did mostly accidentally win the #GenCon 2010 #LostWorlds tournament, so I owe him for that. #RIP

One more picture I thought I'd share. It's the 30th Anniversary of the game "Roborally" - a great game! Here is a life-size game of Roborally in progress, controlled by bluetooth android devices to program the moves. Those are captured by a Raspbery Pi, which gives commands to the 8 Lego robots on the game board. Truly a marvel!
