Hey everyone, each year I try to keep up to date with the goings on at Gencon as I will again (sadly) not be able to attend.  Below are some of the interesting news and events that I’ve heard about so far.

Awards

Indie RPG Awards will be announced at 3 PM on Friday.  While not necessarily a part of Gencon, apparently they will be posted at the con.

The Ennies will be announced with a big award ceremony on Friday night.  You can also check out a live stream if you aren’t able to attend.

Events

Wizards is hosting a sundering party. Wish I could be there, as the invitation looks super cool.  

Releases

Boardgamegeek has a list of all the new boardgames releasing at Gencon this year.

20 Board Games to check out at Gencon.

Suggestions on things to do and buy

Story Games has a discussion about games to check out and buy.  Jason Morningstar (Fiasco) popped in and talked up his new game Carolina Death Crawl.  IPR will be there with games like Fate and Dungeon World as well as the Seattle Doomsday Map (which I will be sending my minions to pick up for me).

Other interesting info

A list of where designers and other people will be during Gencon.

Apps for Gencon over at Enworld gives some good suggestions for what to bring on your smartphone, particularly because Gencon is not releasing a phone app this year.

I’ll be posting a twitter list later today of people to follow for gencon news and events.  If you have any suggestions of things to include, that would be great!
