#GenCon

2026-02-08

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.

Thanks to Gen Con for considering me part of "Gen Con is..."

#GenCon gets an army of #foodtrucks. U-Con gets one coffee truck (and no hashtag).

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

A painted miniature of a Space Marine from Warhammer 40,000. This one is wearing the familiar blue of the Ultramarines chapter. He is carrying a flamer at the ready and stands legs akimbo atop shattered asphalt.An alternate angle of the same figure.An alternate angle of the same figure.An alternate angle of the same figure.

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 painted miniature of a Stormcast Liberator from Games Workshop’s Age of Sigmar. It is a soldier in mostly golden armor that covers its entire body. The armor has been riveted into the flesh underneath. The shield is deep blue with gold trim. It features a device with a golden face with a red gem in the forehead that is surrounded by white thunderbolts radiating outward from it. The pauldrons of the armor are a deep blue. One is adorned with a golden thunderbolt. The other features a smaller version of the device on the shoulder. The soldier has a gladius sword sheathed on its hip. He is wielding a large dark metal war hammer with a red gem in the center of the head on either side. It stands amid the rocky ruins of some great temple, with meager burnt and faded grasses peeking up from the ground.An alternate angle of the same figure.An alternate angle of the same figure.

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.

A cartoon robot. Its figure is that of a very skinny person, the lengths of its limbs and the trunk of its torso in gleaming silver metal and the rest of its head and body a glossy plasticine yellow. It has its right foot up on a brownish rock as it brandishes a red laser pistol in the air.The reverse view of the same figure.

Happy #StarFrontiers day! As best I can tell, on this day in 1982 at #GenCon XV, TSR released Star Frontiers. It was the first RPG I played, at about age 10. #rpg #rpgs #ttrpg #ttrpgs #scifi #scifittrpgs

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.

Wooden shelves full of spherical bottles.

Swell's #gencon review: fun but some small amount of misogyny.

Judging by my credit card statement, I refilled the $25 souvenir cup 6 times during #GenCon, making the averaged cost of drink (25+6*2)/7, or $5.29 each. Not bad for a convention center soda, actually, but I think I can do better. Next year, I'm going to caffeinate harder!
