On the eve of Gen Con 2014 I sit back and think of all the fun I have had\u00a0at this convention in the\u00a0past. I have had the privilege to make that journey 8 or so times and each and everytime I have had a blast\u00a0and\u00a0made a lot of friends and played a lot of games!<\/p>\n

This year it was not meant to be and I will not lie, I am a bit bummed that I am not in Indy this weekend. I will live vicariously\u00a0through those that are and go to my local gaming store and hang out with my fellow nerds that could not go as well.<\/p>\n

We do have a virtual solution and you can head over to www.geeknative.com<\/a>\u00a0and learn about Anti Gen Con. It is pretty awesome\u00a0idea allowing those of us stuck at home to connect to other gamers on Gen Con weekend. Also you can go to Twitter and see all the fun some us folks are having with #GenCant2014. If you want you can join in on the fun and enter to win a couple of prizes (details can be found here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Thanks Chris Cormier<\/a> for this awesome graphic and it just sums up how much it sucks that I could not make Gen Con on it’s 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n

My parting words are this…gather up some friends this weekend and play a bunch of games or\u00a0support your local gaming store by gaming there.<\/p>\n
